| description | This study aims to find out the representation of the President of the United States of America,
Donald Trump, through photojournalism which is used to support the news coverage of the president
in the Indonesian online news media. It is reader-response research examining photography
representation in the Indonesian online news media: okezone.com, tribunnews.com, and detik.com in
2017-2020 to view the media construction and readers’ perception. The respondents consisted of the
students of English Department, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Indonesia were chosen to represent the
digital native online news readers in Indonesia. In order to get the readers’ perception, they were
asked to “read” 15 photos of President Trump, 12 of them were taken from news coverages of three
online news media: okezonecom, tribunnews.com, and detik.com; whereas the other three photos
were taken from the White House official website. The finding shows that Donald Trump tends to be
portrayed differently with those used by the White House official website. Furthermore, readers are
able to recognize the official presidential photos among the photojournalism. Despite their awareness
of the photo selections by the media, each photojournalism used in the survey is perceived both
negatively and positively by the readers. |
