Abstract

The South China Sea (SCS) is an area of water endowed with rich natural resources and a strategic location for geopolitical interests. As the consequence, China has put the SCS in its list of the Great Rejuvenation Goals. China's modus operandi to attain its SCS ambition has been various in the way. It ranges from making land reclamation and artificial islands, sending citizens to artificial islands and further applying its jurisdiction and administration, conducting military activities, and wielding diplomacy efforts. Another path China undergoes to manifest its maritime empire in the SCS is media framing. This study highlights how China employs Global Times, its state-owned media, to construct the mind frame that the SCS belongs to China. To achieve the objective of the study, this paper use Zhongdang Pan and M Kosicky's framing analysis to identify Global Times' type of framing and qualitative method to seek the intention of the frame. This paper finds that Global Times assist the Chinese government in claiming the SCS by syntactic and rhetorical framing; dominantly quoting pro-China experts/academics/statesman, emphasising 'sovereignty' words and displaying a narration that the SCS belongs to China, using Chinese to name the islands in the SCS, and echoing 'no conflict in the SCS' rhetoric. This study proves that China is also pursuing its South China Sea Dream by exercising noopolitics.

Abstract

Negara Isral yang menjadi aktor pada konflik Palestina tidak sedikit menjadi bahan pemberitaan dan pembingkaian oleh media-media internasional. Penelitian-penelitian yang pernah dilakukan mengenai framing belum dibahasa secara komprehensif, terlebih lagi mengenai independensi pemberitaan media yang terafiliasi dengan negara. Penelitian ini berfokus pada pertanyaan bagaimana framing Israel oleh media jordantimes.com yang terafiliasi dengan Jordania yang juga memiliki hubungan diplomatik dengan Israel. Untuk menjawab pertanyaan ini, penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dan metode framing Murray Edelman yang berfokus pada kategorisasi dan rubrikasi sebuah pemberitaan media. Temuan dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa hubungan diplomatik Jordania dengan Israel tidak berdampak terhadap independensi pemberitaan jordantimes.com. Bahkan tidak sedikit dalam pemberitaan jordantimes.com menunjukkan Israel adalah aktor krimninal internasional dan negara penjajah. Konteks tersebut dapat dilihat melalui kategorisasi Israel sebagai aktor kriminal internasional yang telah melakukan genosida dan kejahatan terorganisir. Kemudian rubrikasi Israel sebagai negara penjajah yang merampas wilayah teritorial Palestina dan melanggar peraturan hukum internasional.

Abstract

Israel's genocidal actions today are increasingly massive in Palestine, which are supported by European media that have the same vision as Israeli Jews. This research aims to analyze how these European media support the Israeli genocide through propaganda disseminated in the form of news. To answer this research question, a descriptive qualitative approach is used to analyze the form of propaganda in European media. The findings of this study show that European media support the genocide by Israel through propaganda, such as deceiving facts about the Israeli genocide and the use of manipulative rhetoric to construct the diction of terrorism that is considered a Hamas group. From these two findings, it can be illustrated that European media not only spread news of conflict in the Middle East but also contributed to spreading propaganda to support genocide by Israel. This study's findings aim to further dialogue in communication science and media propaganda, serving as a reference for identifying and analyzing propaganda patterns used by countries.In other words, understanding the forms of media propaganda worldwide can minimize media bias or hidden agendas targeted at the international community.

Abstract

The news about the Indonesian National Army’s, or Tentara Nasional Indonesia (TNI), budget for internet buzzers has led to public disapproval. This disagreement shows how the public is still unfamiliar with the idea that Influence Operations and Information Warfare (IOIW) is now a thing in national security and defense strategy. This article aims to make sense of why TNI should consider the IOIW capability. With the library research method, this article introduces the conceptual and theoretical argument of Noopolitik and IOIW to the Indonesian policymakers and the general public. Noopolitik is a concept explaining the existence of the noosphere, a world "thinking circuit" and "realm of the mind" that politicians today, in the era of advanced information and communication technology, also consider. Thus, Noopolitik allows us to rationalize that a country nowadays should consider not only the geosphere for its national interest but also the noosphere which one country may hijack and influence through information dissemination. Thus, the noosphere is now a new emergent battlefield, and IOIW refers to the combat that takes place on it, with the goal of gaining influence using information as a weapon. With that idea, this article argues that it is reasonable for TNI to procure the capability for IOIW. The IOIW ability will allow TNI to protect the Indonesian Noosphere from the attacks of its potential adversaries, as they might want to influence Indonesian public opinion and action in a hostile outcome for the nation's harmony and stability. The general public have to grasp the theoretical framework of Noopolitik, which elucidates the contemporary relevance of IOIW. It will lead them to have necessary understanding why should they provide support to TNI for the procurement of additional power for IOIW capabilities when required. This article may function as an initial evaluation for politicians and the public to recognize TNI's augmentation of the IOIW force.

Abstract

The online news coverage regarding the ongoing Gaza conflict published by Ynetnews extends beyond information dissemination but also includes information frames that align with Israel's noopolitik interests. However, this theme remains under academic research as literature regarding this study remains scarce. This study is also based on the question: how Ynetnews use media framing as an Israeli noopolitik tool to create a negative image of Hamas in the ongoing hostilities between Hamas and Israel. The data in this study was collected by analysing twenty-seven (27) news articles published on Ynetnews website using the keyword ‘Israel-Palestine Conflict’ from 10 December 2023 to 14 January 2024. This study employed the framing analysis method of Zhongdang Pan and Gerald M. Kosicky to uncover and answer the research questions. The study highlights two important findings on Israel’s noopolitik strategy: The first strategy is made through the consistent portrayal of Hamas as a terrorist group as being published by Ynetnews in its online content. Second strategy is by accusing Hamas of playing the victim, which is paradoxically a strategy being projected by Israel.

Abstract

The conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza is highly complex. The initial attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023, followed by Israel's counterattack, captured significant international attention. However, numerous accusations have been directed at Israel, which is increasingly perceived as an actor in the escalation of the conflict. This study aimed to examine how Israel, through its official media platform Gov.il, engages in media framing with the purpose of image restoration. The data in this study were collected by analysing 17 news articles published on the Gov.il website using the keywords ‘“Israel image repair Gaza’,,” ‘“Hasbara communication Gaza,’,” ‘“IDF and civilians Gaza’,,” ‘“Gov.il narrative framing’,,” and ‘“Genocide accusation response’” from October 7, 2023, to August 30, 2024. This study applies the data analysis method of Miles and Huberman to address the research questions. The findings highlight two key points: Israel’s image restoration strategy in Gov.il media uses (1) a reduced offensiveness approach, specifically through the variants of bolstering and differentiation, and (2) evasion of responsibility through the variant of defensibility. This study also aimed to identify Israel's image restoration strategies in repairing and maintaining its reputation before the international community, especially regarding Israel being accused of committing acts of genocide in Gaza by the international community and countries in the world in the 2023 Israel-Palestine conflict. This research uses a qualitative method by collecting news articles from Gov.il media using the keyword "Gaza’" and analysing them to obtain patterns of Israel's image restoration strategies in the media. The results show that the framing of news about Israel is positive by showing that Israel has good initiatives toward civilian victims and that Israel is a country that prioritises humanitarian actions. Furthermore, this study also proves that the pattern of Israel's image restoration tends to use the strategy of reducing forgiveness, especially using bolstering techniques, namely strengthening the positive feelings of the audience, compensation, reducing attack, differentiation, distinguishing their actions from other actions, and attacking the counterattacking the accuser.
