Posisi Media Online Tempo.co dan Kompas.com Pada Pemberitaan Kemungkinan Kaesang Bawa PSI Lolos Ambang Batas Parlemen untuk Pemilu 2024

Abstract

Having failed in the 2019 elections due to a lack of votes, it is now the turn of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI), finalizing its strategy to pass the parliamentary threshold. One of the ways PSI is doing this is by inviting Kaesang to join and make him the party chairman. With his electability as the son of the Indonesian president, Kaesang is believed to be able to deliver PSI to Senayan and sit in the Kursi DPR in the 2024 elections. However, will Kaesang really be able to bring PSI to Senayan. This study aims to explore how the news framing formed by Tempo.co and Kompas.com on the possibility of Kaesang bringing PSI to Senayan. Tempo.co and Kompas.com were chosen because these two media are quite active in reporting Kaesang from different perspectives. This research combines descriptive qualitative methodology with a framing analysis method based on the Zhongdang pan Gerald kosicki model taken from each Tempo.co and Kompas.com  news coverage on September 27, 2023. The results of this study show that Tempo.co considers that the presence of Kaesang as chairman is able to deliver PSI through parliament. While Kompas.com, this media actually doubts Kaesang in leading the party. It considers that Kaesang will not be able to bring PSI without the help of people who are experienced and understand politics.
