The Representation Of People With Disability In Indonesian Online News Reports: A Corpus-Assisted Discourse Study
(2025-01)
Al Fajri, Muchamad Sholakhuddin
This study examines how disabled individuals are portrayed in indonesian news texts between 2011 and 2020. It specifically explores (1) how people with disability are depicted in the indonesian online media during this period, (2) the depiction of four types of disabilities (sensory, mental, physical, and intellectual) in these news articles, and (3) the similarities and differences in media depiction of disabled people before and after the enactment of the 2016 indonesian disability law. The dataset for this study consists of a specialised corpus of indonesian news articles that feature various terms referring to disabled individuals. These news stories are sourced from eight prominent indonesian online news sites, each controlled by different media organisations. The analytical framework for this research integrates baker and mcenery’s (2015a, 2015b) cads framework, van leeuwen’s (2008) social actor network, and news media models of disability (clogston, 1990, 1994; haller, 1995, 2010). The analysis of the portrayal of disabled people between 2011 and 2020 reveals that they are predominantly depicted as passive beneficiaries and objects of representation.
