Framing Analysis of Human Trafficking (TPPO) News Coverage to Cambodia on Kompas.com and Detik.com
Main Article Content
Abstract
News coverage of the Human Trafficking (TPPO) case involving Cambodia as a destination country became one of the most extensive humanitarian issues in Indonesian online media throughout 2025, as data from the National Police's Criminal Information Center (Pusat Informasi Kriminal Nasional Polri) recorded 1,301 cases with Cambodia as the most frequent destination country. This study analyzes the framing of the Cambodia TPPO case in Kompas.com and Detik.com during the period of January to December 2025 using the Pan and Kosicki framing model, employing a constructivist qualitative approach applied to 20 thematically paired news units. The objectivity of the comparison is reinforced through Westerståhl's Objectivity Norms, the completeness of the 5W+1H elements, and connotative-denotative analysis across the four framing structures—syntactic, script, thematic, and rhetorical. The findings indicate that Kompas.com consistently framed the Cambodia TPPO case as a humanitarian crisis, positioning victims and their families as the central subjects of the narrative, employing emotionally charged diction, and using visuals that fostered public empathy. In contrast, Detik.com framed the same issue as a matter of law enforcement and state institutional performance, emphasizing the role of security forces, official statements, and diction that conveyed assertiveness of action.
