REPRESENTASI IDENTITAS MUSLIM DALAM WACANA BERITA

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the representation of Muslim identity in Eid al-Fitr news coverage in the secular media Kompas and the religious media Hidayatullah using Roger Fowler’s Critical Discourse Analysis approach. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method, with data consisting of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences found in news texts. The analysis focuses on lexical and grammatical aspects, including classification, restriction of perspective, marginalization, discursive contestation, as well as the use of passive constructions and nominalization. The findings indicate that the secular media Kompas tends to represent Muslims as objects of news coverage within social activities, whereas the religious media Hidayatullah positions Muslim identity as the primary subject of discourse by emphasizing religious values, communal solidarity, and the spiritual meaning of Eid al-Fitr.
