Abstract

This study explores the framing of presidential candidates in the 2024 Indonesian election by three major media outlets: Kompas, TVOne News, and Metro TV News. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and systemic functional discourse analysis, the research examines how evaluative language constructs social identities and political ideologies through direct, indirect, and additional framing techniques. The analysis reveals distinct patterns in how these outlets portray candidates Anies Baswedan, Prabowo Subianto, and Ganjar Pranowo. Kompas tends to use direct and additional framing, focusing on competence and broader impact, while TVOne News combines direct and indirect methods to evaluate candidates’ veracity and capacity. Metro TV News predominantly employs direct framing, highlighting immediate evaluations of candidates’ attributes. The study underscores the influence of news text genres—headlines, leads, and sequences of events—on framing strategies and public perception. Findings indicate varying editorial strategies and potential biases across media outlets, emphasizing the need for critical media literacy. Future research should explore the impact of framing on public attitudes across different media platforms and cultural contexts.
