Abstract

The study explores how major international media outlets craft and convey narratives, with a focus on Al Jazeera, BBC, and CNN. Grounded in Edward Said's "Orientalism," the research aims to unveil the cultural nuances and power relations inherent in the portrayal of this longstanding geopolitical conflict. Objectives: Examine Cultural Narratives: Analyze how cultural narratives are constructed and communicated by Al Jazeera, BBC, and CNN in their coverage of the Palestine-Israel conflict. Uncover Power Dynamics: Investigate the manifestation of power relations within editorial decisions and narrative framing by these global media giants. Evaluate Narrative Mastery: Assess the degree to which cultural biases and power dynamics influence the editorial stance of Al Jazeera, BBC, and CNN in the context of the conflict. Methodology: Utilizing a qualitative content analysis approach, this research will scrutinize a diverse sample of articles, videos, and social media content from the chosen outlets. Thematic analysis will be applied to identify recurring cultural themes and power dynamics, allowing for a comparative examination across the media landscape. Key Results: Anticipated findings include insights into how each outlet masterfully constructs cultural narratives, an understanding of power dynamics influencing editorial decisions, and an exploration of how user engagement further shapes the narrative landscape. By unravelling the intricate dynamics of media influence, this study contributes to a nuanced comprehension of the complex interplay between culture and power in global media's representation of the Palestine-Israel conflict.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has transformed business practices worldwide, yet significant disparities remain in digital access and literacy, particularly among women entrepreneurs in urban Indonesia. This study examines the challenges faced by women-owned Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in South Jakarta, highlighting the persistent gender and digital gaps that hinder inclusive economic development. Utilizing a combination of qualitative methods, including focus group discussions and in-depth interviews, the research investigates the barriers to digital adoption, such as limited digital literacy, cultural norms, and infrastructural constraints. Grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and principles of inclusive development, the study emphasizes the importance of context-specific communication strategies and community-driven solutions to foster empowerment and gender equity in digital transformation. Findings reveal that while government initiatives like the Jakpreneur program have provided essential training and resources, a gap persists in tailored, participatory approaches that address women’s unique needs and socio-cultural realities. The research advocates for strengthening community-based digital literacy programs, peer learning models, and mentorship schemes that leverage local knowledge and social networks. By bridging the digital divide, these strategies aim to bolster women entrepreneurs’ capacity to leverage digital platforms, expand market access, and sustain business growth. Ultimately, promoting inclusive development communication is vital for transforming digital inclusion from mere policy rhetoric into tangible empowerment outcomes, ensuring that women entrepreneurs in Jakarta Selatan are active agents in Indonesia’s digital economy.
