  • ANALISIS FRAMING BERITA KASUS PELECEHAN SEKSUAL REYNHARD SINAGA DI MEDIA CNN INDONESIA (Edisi Januari 2020)
    ANALISIS FRAMING BERITA KASUS PELECEHAN SEKSUAL REYNHARD SINAGA DI MEDIA CNN INDONESIA (Edisi Januari 2020) Zhafirah Izzah Mitsalina1 Edy Sudaryanto2 Merry Fridha Tri Palupi3 [email protected] Abstract This research is based on the revealed of the Reynhard Sinaga case which is considered to be the largest case of sexual harassment in British history. Framing analysis is used in this study to find out how the framing is carried out by CNN Indonesia's online media in reporting sexual harassment cases committed by Reyhnard Sinaga, an Indonesian citizen who is currently studying in Manchester, England. The research method used is descriptive qualitative using framing analysis of Zhongdang Pan and Gerald M. Kosicki and Peter L. Berger's theory of reality construction. The results of the analysis found are that CNN Indonesia is in favor of the public interest, especially regarding humanity. Journalists emphasize that the occurrence of sexual harassment is entirely a personal fault of Reynhard, not his sexual orientation. However, it cannot be denied if journalists are also seen to have a false favor with the people. In this report, it did not mention that CNN Indonesia's online media supported LGBT, but the construction of the coverage carried out showed support for the existence of LGBT in Indonesia. Keywords: framing analysis, sexual harassment, LGBT Abstrak Penelitian ini berdasar pada terungkapnya kasus Reynhard Sinaga yang dinilai menjadi kasus pelecehan seksual terbesar dalam sejarah Inggris. Analisis framing digunakan dalam penelitian ini untuk mengetahui bagaimana pembingkaian yang dilakukan oleh media online CNN Indonesia dalam memberitakan kasus pelecehan seksual yang dilakukan oleh Reyhnard Sinaga, seorang Warga Negara Indonesia yang sedang menempuh pendidikan di Manchester, Inggris.

    UP Film Institute Filmography of Filipino Films 2003 Introduced by Lucenio Martin L. Lauzon Compiled by Virginia D. Cuyugan and Lucenio Martin L. Lauzon with assistance from Pol del Mundo of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) Ana Fajardo of the Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP) Edwin Joaquin of the MOWELFUND Film Institute The Filipino film celebrates this year its 85th anniversary but its activities and achievements through the years still need to be documented and assessed fully and systematically. Today, the country is still wanting not only in the capability to preserve its film heritage but also in the determined and sustained efforts to collect and preserve existing data on Filipino film for posterity. It does not help that the conservation of Filipino heritage, taxing and tedious as it is already, is appreciated by only a few individuals even within the industry. As an institution dedicated to the study of films, the UP Film Institute (UPFI) shall try to help in the task of gathering, classifying and disseminating data on the Filipino film. As part of its commitment to the public, the UPFI shall make these data available to everyone through the publication of a systematic and comprehensive listing of Filipino films, beginning with those produced in 2003. This year is most apropos as it was also in 2003 that the UPFI was formally established by virtue of the UP Board of Regents resolution. The UPFI realizes that such filmographies are indispensable for anyone who wants to gain an overview of the film landscape in the country and to make necessary, informed and authoritative observations on the state of the Filipino film industry.
