<![CDATA[Indonesia Gelap is a public protest movement against controversial policies during the first 100 days of the Prabowo-Gibran administration. Beginning as a digital activism campaign, the movement later evolved into public demonstrations across various regions in Indonesia. Alongside these actions, various media outlets, such as CNNIndonesia.com and tempo.co, published reports. Online media, which normatively serve as sources of information, social control, and pillars of democracy, in practice have the potential to shape a different reality and influence public opinion on an issue. This study aims to examine how CNNIndonesia.com and tempo.co frame their coverage of the Indonesia Gelap movement as a protest, using a descriptive qualitative approach with two stages of analysis: the Pan and Kosicki framing model and the McLeod and Hertog protest paradigm analysis. The results indicate that CNNIndonesia.com tends to adhere to the characteristics of the protest paradigm by emphasizing aspects of conflict, relying on official sources, and engaging in the delegitimization and demonization of the protests. Meanwhile, tempo.co provides more space for the demands and substance of the protests, as well as public support. Adherence to and deviations from the protest paradigm are influenced by ideology, idealism, interests, and the nature of the protests taking place.]]>
