The incident, which killed 135 people and injured 583 people, then developed as a conflict between the police, match organizers, and football supporters, especially Aremania. In the news, conflict issues are always an exciting topic to discuss. Events that contain conflict naturally attract people and have more sales potential than mediocre events. Therefore, researchers are interested in examining how conflict is framed by the media, especially TV, from a Peace Journalism perspective.

Metro TV focuses more on efforts to find the cause of the conflict and resolve the conflict by blaming one particular party but does not focus on the deep sorrow of the victims.
