Abstract

The presence of the "Women's Theme" is thought to bring the atmosphere (in whatever sense either positive or negative). Due to the presence of such women in the world of men the theme of women can still present as a conditioning and whip in all activities especially for business and politics. However, from year to year the number of women who work as journalists increases. This is because although women who sit in the structure of the media increases but the level of decision makers remains limited. Prosentas women as editors, heads of fields or departments, and media owners only about 0.6% only (Venny, 2010). The role of the media to become a more real force is capable of shaping the world's own perceptions, and the individual (women's) struggle to maintain a unique identity and self-understanding by breaking away from media influence becomes increasingly difficult. May Lan in Subono is still trying to add an understanding of gender perspective journalism. That is the practice of journalism that seeks to spread ideas on gender equality and justice between men and women through the media. The neutrality of view that is widely disseminated through the media is deemed to be able to help reduce the stereotypes that exist in the community. In the gap between what is implicitly beautiful in the eyes of the media and the physical reality of the majority of "self-improvement" products and services, not a few people try to change themselves and their appearance in a physical way, in order to fit in to be "beautiful and interesting "and got a positive rating for" norms "in the appeal and desires of society in general. Mass media does have a great role in constructing society so that the image of women appearing in the media if not criticized will be considered natural, natural, and even so. Departing from the arguments above then becomes very acceptable if women need to utilize the mass media to sound and pengalamannyanya and display the face of women who are more representative. Mass media becomes a strategic target for tools to voice the identity, representation and interests of women This is due to the character and role of the typical mass media
