Abstract

As one of natural resources controlled by Indonesian government, petroleum price fluctuations

coverage by Indonesian mass media are often corresponding to its citizens’ protests.After series of

controversies regarding Jokowi, Indonesian president’s attempt to reduce government fund given to

stabilise oil price, Indonesian government hascurrently introduced Pertalite as a new type and more

economically reasonablepetroleum for consumers’ daily use. This research investigates hownew

petroleum type: Pertalite, are being introduced to the Internet user by two online media:

www.detik.com, a commercial online news portal and www.korantempo.co, an extension

ofsurveillance media and formerly terminated magazine in New Order Era. As many as 14 articles

from www.tempo.co and 70 articles from www.detik.comin April 2015 were studied using Robert N.

Entman’s Framing Analysis. The articles found from both online media were collected because it

contains the word “Pertalite”. The research found that there were tendencies expressed by both online

media to foster Pertalite consumption as a result of providing positive impression of Pertalite from

varied sources including government officials and automobile industries spokepersons, apart from

itslacking of potential consumers’ opinions. Despite their different media orientation www.detik.com

and www.tempo.co were both has tendency to encourage their reader to try using Pertalite by

hyperbolising the economic advantage of Pertalite, but failed to illustrate how Pertalite release is

related to Indonesian long term intention to foster energy security, as declared by Indonesian

government.

Keywords: Pertalite, framing analysis, www.detik.com, www.tempo.co

Introduction

As a formerly prominent country in OPEC (Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, it has

been claimed that Indonesia has transformed from a fuel exporting country into a fuel-defisit country

since 2003 (Rivani, 2012). The petroleum pricehas consistenly increased every year from 2003-2015,

due to world oil price fluctuation, regardless Indonesian government commitment to subsidy the price

instability (Listiyanto, 2008; Umar, 2012).

Petroleum consumption is a basic need for any society (Yustika, 2008; Rivani, 2014).The previous

statement is also supported by Indonesian government, who constitutes petroleum as one of natural

resources strictly regulated by the country officials. Changes of policy for petroleum price has also

been overseen by mass media institutions. Pros and cons related to the petroleum were informed by

the media to the society, regarding the institutions’ points of view. For example, some media framed

the increasing price was tormenting the society (Fitriyanti, 2013). It is observed that some Indonesian

prominent online media such as www.viva.co.id; www.okezone.com; www.detik.comhas started to

introduce Pertalite since 16 April 2015 while www.kompas.com; www.liputan6.com, and;

www.tempo.co implying their concern to the society on the next day. www.detik.com has had the

highest number of Pertalite published articles while www.tempo.cohad the lowest number of Pertalite

articles (see figure 1).

Fig. 1.Online media coverage

It is implied that main subject of press’ Pertalite introduction to Indonesian society was to replace

Indonesian mainpetroleum: Pertamina Petrol, whose price fluctuationwere always connected to

demonstration and protests (read

http://finance.detik.com/read/2015/04/20/083440/2891829/1034/bensin-Pertalite-dijual-rp-8000-

8300-dan-rencana-pemusnahan-premium-ron-88). However, some media has had introduced Pertalite

as the newest varian of petroleumfrom Indonesian Pertamina (Read:

http://bisnis.liputan6.com/read/2216389/ini-kisaran-harga-Pertalite-produk-bbm-baru-pertamina). On

most media reports, the Pertalite was claimed to be advantageous to the consumers, although it is

more expensive than Petrol. In other words, majority of the online media appear to be in favor of the

Indonesian government policy, regardless their media orientation.Therefore, it is interesting to analyse

how two different online media: the profit-oriented www.detik.com and the fault-finder

www.tempo.co compose their articles on Pertalite introduction to the Internet users.

Research Question

In order to describe how Indonesian online media www.detik.com and www.tempo.coframe Pertalite

introduction to the society, researchers are formulating the research question as follow: How does

www.detik.comand www.tempo.coframe their message while introducing Pertalite in Indonesia?

Objective

This research would tried to analyse how online news are presented by two different Indonesian

online media institutions: www.detik.com and www.tempo.co.

Interconnection of Online Journalism Practice, Mass Media Industry, and Society

As one of the oldest discipline in Communication Science, journalism practiceis often associated

withpeople’s live, the public sphere, and practice of democracy (Nerone, 2009, p.31).Nerone (2009)

also added that mass media institutionshave served the society by being a gatekeeper of social

discourses. In other words, print media institutions enable individualsto connect with the rest of

society and also promote a government to disseminate policies by distribute credible information to

their readers, although it is claimed that media biashas never set off because the institution always

taking stance on the information published. Therefore, media content could be perceived as an

outcome of power negotiation (Entman, in Nerone, 2009).

Robinson (2009, p.497) stated that mass media potrayals mirrors the society. How media frames their

messages is related to how the society responds the discussed issues. Accordingly, it is inferred that

media framing outlines both government concernand society standpoint. However, journalistic

practice seems to be biased. It could be perceived from the lack of objective and cover-both-side news

content. The media bias seems to has bigger chance on online media. Alysen et.al (2003) state that

online journalists are more likely to present similarnews content with other internet sources, because it

provides “news in a hurry” (p. 155).

Not only conventional printed media, but online media has also practicing media framing.

Considerably cheaper in production cost, in addition to the readership shift from paper-based print

media to paperless news, online media content has contrasting content and publication timing in

comparison to print media content. As a conventional printed media is periodically published in daily

basis, online media continously updated by the journalist or site administrator. Consequently it is

reknown that the content of online media is relatively shorter than conventional newspaper. Despite

the lack of information details, online media content which serves the societyhas repeatedly quoted by

conventional mass media such as television and radio, due to its speed and readership.

Developing Entman’s View of Media Framing Concept

The research adopts Entmant’s Framing analysis concept (Eriyanto, 2011), which asserts that

framing practiced by media institution as a way to accentuate the reality in order to fabricate an

eminencenews value. This perspective of media production acknowledge the abundance spectrum of

realitypoint of view, therefore it is assumed that writing news without a clear stance and selected

sources will reduce the news quality. In short, message selection in writing news story is unavoidable.

Media institution’s stance of certain social issues could be analysed from their published coverage.

Entmant (in Eriyanto, 2011) describes that two major conception in framing analysis are: (a) how

media institution select their information, and; (b) how media institution emphasize certain aspects by

word choice (see Table 1).

The fourth indicators stated above were developed into a coding sheet in order to find news

construction on how Pertalite were introduced as one of newest consumed petroleum which also

become solution to reduce number of driver using subsidied Pertamina Petrol and to give more stable

alternative petroleum than Pertamax.

Primary data which consist of 70 article from www.detik.com and 14 articles from

www.tempo.cowere found by searching any article from either search engine or the site search feature

during 1 to 30 April 2015.Not all news were used because the articles were selected because it

contain government policy on Pertalite. 3 articles fromwww.tempo.comay contain the word

“Pertalite” but does not correlatePertalite and Indonesian government policy.

Confirmed Online Media Tendency to Support Government Policy

The research adopts Entmant’s Framing analysis concept (Eriyanto, 2011), which asserts that

framing practiced by media institution as a way to accentuate the reality in order to fabricate an

eminent news. It is found that both media: www.tempo.co and www.detik.com, whilst varied in

sources and numbers of articles in April 2015, were exhibiting their work of providing credible news

coverage.

Www.tempo.co was chosen not only because it issued the less number of Pertalite-related articles

in April, but also its former reputation as an opposing mass media in Indonesia which main mission

was to be a whistle blower of official scandals, unfavorable government acts or unpopular policies

during Indonesian New Order era.On the other side, www.detik.comwas chosen because it provided

roughly four Pertalite-related news daily in April 2015. In comparison, www.tempo.co has had

published only 20% of total 70 news published by www.detik.com, barely one article on daily

basis.However, on 20 April 2015, there were three Pertalite-related news, which continued by two

news release from 21 to 23 April 2015.

In comparison to www.detik.com, 14 news on www.tempo.co were written by varied journalists

from varied events. In other words, the institution has been practicing different approach from

www.detik.com which developed several news stories from one reportage.For example, on 20 April

2015, three Pertalite-related news were written by three different journalistsmaterialised from

different sources. It is also implied that although bothwww.tempo.coand www.detik.comhave tried to

present quality news by quoting credible government officials as their credible source,

www.detik.comhas demonstrated its commercial orientation by generating several news articles from

one coverage or one event. As a result, news presented by www.detik.comwere tended to have similar

substance with varied titling.

Pertalite coverage from both media hadbegun with quotingcredible source. While

www.tempo.cowas generating news mainly from government officials such as Menteri

ESDM(Indonesian Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy) Sudirman Said, Vice President Jusuf

Kalla, Menteri BUMN (Ministry of Stated-Owned Corporate), Menko Sofyan Djalil, and a number of

member of House of Representatives whose statement were mostly related to positive sides of

Pertalite consumption in Indonesia, www.detik.com had also implied its support towards Pertalite

introduction in Indonesia, the media has positively quote mostly from Pertamina’s point of view,

while indicating negative perception from gas station officers, and none of the society.

News Thread off the Track

Both studied online mediahavebegun their Pertalite reportage by asserting that Pertalite was a new

variant of petroleum offered by Pertamina, in contrast with the government’s intention to replace

Petrol by issuing Pertalite. Although it is more expensive than Petrol, both www.detik.com and

www.tempo.cohave stressed their rationalisation that Pertalite consumption is economically

advantageousfor Indonesian society. In other words, by continously exaggerating advantages offered

by Pertalite through their online news contents, both www.detik.com and www.tempo.cohave

obscured Indonesian government’s long-term goal of replacingsubsidied Pertamina Petrol for daily

consumption.

Www.tempo.co is an extention of Tempo magazine which claimed itself “promoting fair and balanced

news coverage in attractive and humorous presentation (trnsl.)” on its corporate profile page of the

website. On its website, it is stated that Tempo had been terminated twice in 1982 and 1994, because

of its overly sharp critics towards New Order era government. Although its stated tendency to criticise

government, it seems that www.tempo.co has exhibited its support towards Pertalite introduction in

Indonesia. This might confirm Alysen (2003) statement that online news has more oversimplified

content than conventional printed media.

The highlighted commercial side of Pertalite and minor explicit narrative ongovernment stance to

reduce subsidied Petrol presented by both online media had concealed government’s long-

termobjective on stabilising petroleum security in Indonesia. In other words, hyperbolised and

repeated pressing on economic advantage of Pertalite presented by www.detik.com and

www.tempo.coresulted in biased news contents.To sum up, despite their contrasting media

orientation, www.detik.com and www.tempo.cohas demonstrated their support towards Pertalite

introduction by Indonesian government.

Conclusion

It is found that both media supports government’s act by giving positive impression or economic

advantages of Pertalite from varied sources including government officials and automobile industries

spokepersons, but lack of potential consumers’ opinions. It is also claimed that both www.detik.com

and www.tempo.cohad been exaggerating that Pertalite will completely subtitute Petrol at the

beginning of their coverage. In other words, problems defined by both media has been bent Pertalite

introduction from energy security act to the emerging of new commercial fuel type.Conclusion drawn

is that despite their different orientation, www.detik.com and www.tempo.co are both tended to

encourage the society to try using Pertalite by hyperbolising the economic advantage of Pertalite, but

failed to illustrate how Pertalite release is related to Indonesian long term intention to foster energy

security, as declared by Indonesian government.
