| Summary: | This study is aimed at investigating the representation of LGBT in the Jakarta Post and Jakarta Globe and revealing hidden ideologies embedded in the representations. This study more specifically focuses on identifying how the two media deploy transitivity choices in reporting LGBT and gaining representational meanings from the transitivity choices. This study employs the qualitative method and transitivity analysis under the framework of Fairclough's three-dimensional approach (1989). The study reveals that the Jakarta post tends to represent LGBT as a more passive participant in a way that certain circumstances shape them as a discriminated and intimidated group by several religious groups, society and government officials, therefore this position has caused Human Rights activists and several government officials to defend them. The media also depict LGBT as an acceptable identity and acknowledged phenomenon in Indonesia. On the other hand, Jakarta Globe tends to represent LGBT as a more active participant that they are given more space to express their sufferings and struggles that trigger them to claim their own rights through their active involvement in anti-LGBT discussions and the support provided by Human Rights activists. The findings suggest that the two media are struggling to promote democratic values in attempts to contribute to establishing LGBT acceptance in Indonesia (the Jakarta Post) and critiquing the discrimination as a means of ending intimidation against LGBT Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki representasi LGBT di the Jakarta Post dan Jakarta Globe serta mengungkap ideologi tersembunyi dibalik representasi tersebut. Penelitian ini khususnya bermaksud untuk mengidentifikasi bagaimana kedua media tersebut menggunakan pilihan transitivitas dalam melaporkan kasus LGBT serta menggali makna representasi dari pilihan transitivitas tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dan analisis transitivitas dalam kerangka pendekatan tiga dimensi Fairclough (1989). Hasil temuan berhasil mengungkap bahwa the Jakarta Post cenderung menggambarkan LGBT secara lebih pasif. Dalam pemberitaannya, LGBT cenderung direpresentasikan sebagai kelompok yang didiskriminasi dan diintimidasi oleh beberapa kelompok agama, masyarakat dan pejabat pemerintah, oleh karena itu kondisi ini telah menyebabkan aktivis Hak Asasi Manusia dan beberapa Pejabat pemerintah membela mereka. Media ini juga menggambarkan LGBT sebagai suatu identitas yang dapat diterima dan fenomena yang diakui keberadaannya di Indonesia. Di sisi lain, Jakarta Globe cenderung merepresentasikan LGBT sebagai pihak yang lebih aktif, dimana LGBT diberi lebih banyak ruang untuk mengungkapkan penderitaan dan perjuangan yang mereka lalui, yang kemudian memicu mereka untuk mengklaim hak mereka melalui keterlibatan aktif mereka dalam diskusi anti-LGBT dan dukungan yang diberikan oleh Aktivis hak asasi manusia. Hasil temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa kedua media tersebut bermaksud untuk mempromosikan nilai-nilai demokrasi sebagai upaya kontribusi mereka dalam membentuk penerimaan LGBT di Indonesia (the Jakarta Post) dan mengkritisi diskriminasi terhadap LGBT sebagai upaya untuk mengakhiri intimidasi terhadap mereka (Jakarta Globe). |
