Abstract

This study aims to describe the political satire represented in a short animation on the YouTube channel @GlobalPresidents001, uploaded on September 10, 2025, with a duration of approximately five seconds. The analysis was conducted using Roland Barthes' semiotics, which covers three levels of meaning, namely denotation, connotation, and myth. Data was obtained through observation of visual elements, character expressions, symbols, and visual flow in the animation. Data analysis followed Miles and Huberman's interactive model, which consists of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study were then linked to a number of previous studies and current phenomena developing in the media related to political relations between the United States and Burkina Faso. Validation was carried out through expert triangulation, peer discussion, and increased analytical rigor to ensure the reliability of the interpretation. The findings show that the animation presents a critique of the manipulative dynamics of political relations. The United States is depicted in a lower physical position to show a strategy of humbling itself for certain political interests. The actions of the American character, who takes Burkina Faso's money pump and then runs away, represent economic exploitation, power imbalance, and irresponsibility in the political cooperation process.

Abstract

This study aims to examine Al Jazeera Arabic’s coverage of the 2025 floods in Sumatra, as presented on its YouTube channel, and to analyze the discourse representation through the lens of Teun A. van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, focusing on the live broadcasts reported by Sohaib Jazeem from the affected areas in Aceh. Data were collected through listening, note-taking, and translation, and subsequently analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The results indicate that the coverage emphasizes issues of environmental crisis, the impact of the disaster, and the conditions of the victims. At the macro level, the main theme relates to the environmental crisis, while at the superstructure level, comparisons are drawn with the 2004 tsunami to build audience understanding and provide an introductory overview of the natural destruction, which nearly matched the scale of the tsunami event. At the micro-structural level, the emphasis on victim data and aid distribution reveals a specific focus on three aspects: 1) the nature of the environmental damage, 2) the lack of accountability among authorities, and 3) the government’s inadequate response to flood victims. In addition to these three aspects of the text structure, this study is also informed by social cognition or social class position and social context—specifically, the prevailing knowledge or values within society—which also influence the analytical perspective. This study demonstrates that media coverage helps shape the public’s perspective on disaster events.
