Abstract
As one of natural resources controlled by Indonesian government, petroleum price fluctuations
coverage by Indonesian mass media are often corresponding to its citizens’ protests.After series of
controversies regarding Jokowi, Indonesian president’s attempt to reduce government fund given to
stabilise oil price, Indonesian government hascurrently introduced Pertalite as a new type and more
economically reasonablepetroleum for consumers’ daily use. This research investigates hownew
petroleum type: Pertalite, are being introduced to the Internet user by two online media:
www.detik.com, a commercial online news portal and www.korantempo.co, an extension
ofsurveillance media and formerly terminated magazine in New Order Era. As many as 14 articles
from www.tempo.co and 70 articles from www.detik.comin April 2015 were studied using Robert N.
Entman’s Framing Analysis. The articles found from both online media were collected because it
contains the word “Pertalite”. The research found that there were tendencies expressed by both online
media to foster Pertalite consumption as a result of providing positive impression of Pertalite from
varied sources including government officials and automobile industries spokepersons, apart from
itslacking of potential consumers’ opinions. Despite their different media orientation www.detik.com
and www.tempo.co were both has tendency to encourage their reader to try using Pertalite by
hyperbolising the economic advantage of Pertalite, but failed to illustrate how Pertalite release is
related to Indonesian long term intention to foster energy security, as declared by Indonesian
government.
Keywords: Pertalite, framing analysis, www.detik.com, www.tempo.co
Introduction
As a formerly prominent country in OPEC (Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, it has
been claimed that Indonesia has transformed from a fuel exporting country into a fuel-defisit country
since 2003 (Rivani, 2012). The petroleum pricehas consistenly increased every year from 2003-2015,
due to world oil price fluctuation, regardless Indonesian government commitment to subsidy the price
instability (Listiyanto, 2008; Umar, 2012).
Petroleum consumption is a basic need for any society (Yustika, 2008; Rivani, 2014).The previous
statement is also supported by Indonesian government, who constitutes petroleum as one of natural
resources strictly regulated by the country officials. Changes of policy for petroleum price has also
been overseen by mass media institutions. Pros and cons related to the petroleum were informed by
the media to the society, regarding the institutions’ points of view. For example, some media framed
the increasing price was tormenting the society (Fitriyanti, 2013). It is observed that some Indonesian
prominent online media such as www.viva.co.id; www.okezone.com; www.detik.comhas started to
introduce Pertalite since 16 April 2015 while www.kompas.com; www.liputan6.com, and;
www.tempo.co implying their concern to the society on the next day. www.detik.com has had the

highest number of Pertalite published articles while www.tempo.cohad the lowest number of Pertalite
articles (see figure 1).
Fig. 1.Online media coverage
It is implied that main subject of press’ Pertalite introduction to Indonesian society was to replace
Indonesian mainpetroleum: Pertamina Petrol, whose price fluctuationwere always connected to
demonstration and protests (read

8300-dan-rencana-pemusnahan-premium-ron-88). However, some media has had introduced Pertalite
as the newest varian of petroleumfrom Indonesian Pertamina (Read:
http://bisnis.liputan6.com/read/2216389/ini-kisaran-harga-Pertalite-produk-bbm-baru-pertamina). On
most media reports, the Pertalite was claimed to be advantageous to the consumers, although it is
more expensive than Petrol. In other words, majority of the online media appear to be in favor of the
Indonesian government policy, regardless their media orientation.Therefore, it is interesting to analyse
how two different online media: the profit-oriented www.detik.com and the fault-finder
www.tempo.co compose their articles on Pertalite introduction to the Internet users.
Research Question
In order to describe how Indonesian online media www.detik.com and www.tempo.coframe Pertalite
introduction to the society, researchers are formulating the research question as follow: How does
www.detik.comand www.tempo.coframe their message while introducing Pertalite in Indonesia?
Objective
This research would tried to analyse how online news are presented by two different Indonesian
online media institutions: www.detik.com and www.tempo.co.
Interconnection of Online Journalism Practice, Mass Media Industry, and Society
As one of the oldest discipline in Communication Science, journalism practiceis often associated
withpeople’s live, the public sphere, and practice of democracy (Nerone, 2009, p.31).Nerone (2009)
also added that mass media institutionshave served the society by being a gatekeeper of social
discourses. In other words, print media institutions enable individualsto connect with the rest of

society and also promote a government to disseminate policies by distribute credible information to
their readers, although it is claimed that media biashas never set off because the institution always
taking stance on the information published. Therefore, media content could be perceived as an
outcome of power negotiation (Entman, in Nerone, 2009).
Robinson (2009, p.497) stated that mass media potrayals mirrors the society. How media frames their
messages is related to how the society responds the discussed issues. Accordingly, it is inferred that
media framing outlines both government concernand society standpoint. However, journalistic
practice seems to be biased. It could be perceived from the lack of objective and cover-both-side news
content. The media bias seems to has bigger chance on online media. Alysen et.al (2003) state that
online journalists are more likely to present similarnews content with other internet sources, because it
provides “news in a hurry” (p. 155).
Not only conventional printed media, but online media has also practicing media framing.
Considerably cheaper in production cost, in addition to the readership shift from paper-based print
media to paperless news, online media content has contrasting content and publication timing in
comparison to print media content. As a conventional printed media is periodically published in daily
basis, online media continously updated by the journalist or site administrator. Consequently it is
reknown that the content of online media is relatively shorter than conventional newspaper. Despite
the lack of information details, online media content which serves the societyhas repeatedly quoted by
conventional mass media such as television and radio, due to its speed and readership.
Developing Entman’s View of Media Framing Concept
The research adopts Entmant’s Framing analysis concept (Eriyanto, 2011), which asserts that
framing practiced by media institution as a way to accentuate the reality in order to fabricate an
eminencenews value. This perspective of media production acknowledge the abundance spectrum of
realitypoint of view, therefore it is assumed that writing news without a clear stance and selected
sources will reduce the news quality. In short, message selection in writing news story is unavoidable.
Media institution’s stance of certain social issues could be analysed from their published coverage.
Entmant (in Eriyanto, 2011) describes that two major conception in framing analysis are: (a) how
media institution select their information, and; (b) how media institution emphasize certain aspects by
word choice (see Table 1).

The fourth indicators stated above were developed into a coding sheet in order to find news
construction on how Pertalite were introduced as one of newest consumed petroleum which also
become solution to reduce number of driver using subsidied Pertamina Petrol and to give more stable
alternative petroleum than Pertamax.
Primary data which consist of 70 article from www.detik.com and 14 articles from
www.tempo.cowere found by searching any article from either search engine or the site search feature
during 1 to 30 April 2015.Not all news were used because the articles were selected because it
contain government policy on Pertalite. 3 articles fromwww.tempo.comay contain the word
“Pertalite” but does not correlatePertalite and Indonesian government policy.
Confirmed Online Media Tendency to Support Government Policy
The research adopts Entmant’s Framing analysis concept (Eriyanto, 2011), which asserts that
framing practiced by media institution as a way to accentuate the reality in order to fabricate an
eminent news. It is found that both media: www.tempo.co and www.detik.com, whilst varied in
sources and numbers of articles in April 2015, were exhibiting their work of providing credible news
coverage.
Www.tempo.co was chosen not only because it issued the less number of Pertalite-related articles
in April, but also its former reputation as an opposing mass media in Indonesia which main mission
was to be a whistle blower of official scandals, unfavorable government acts or unpopular policies
during Indonesian New Order era.On the other side, www.detik.comwas chosen because it provided
roughly four Pertalite-related news daily in April 2015. In comparison, www.tempo.co has had
published only 20% of total 70 news published by www.detik.com, barely one article on daily
basis.However, on 20 April 2015, there were three Pertalite-related news, which continued by two
news release from 21 to 23 April 2015.
In comparison to www.detik.com, 14 news on www.tempo.co were written by varied journalists
from varied events. In other words, the institution has been practicing different approach from
www.detik.com which developed several news stories from one reportage.For example, on 20 April
2015, three Pertalite-related news were written by three different journalistsmaterialised from
different sources. It is also implied that although bothwww.tempo.coand www.detik.comhave tried to
present quality news by quoting credible government officials as their credible source,
www.detik.comhas demonstrated its commercial orientation by generating several news articles from
one coverage or one event. As a result, news presented by www.detik.comwere tended to have similar
substance with varied titling.
Pertalite coverage from both media hadbegun with quotingcredible source. While
www.tempo.cowas generating news mainly from government officials such as Menteri
ESDM(Indonesian Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy) Sudirman Said, Vice President Jusuf
Kalla, Menteri BUMN (Ministry of Stated-Owned Corporate), Menko Sofyan Djalil, and a number of
member of House of Representatives whose statement were mostly related to positive sides of
Pertalite consumption in Indonesia, www.detik.com had also implied its support towards Pertalite
introduction in Indonesia, the media has positively quote mostly from Pertamina’s point of view,
while indicating negative perception from gas station officers, and none of the society.
News Thread off the Track
Both studied online mediahavebegun their Pertalite reportage by asserting that Pertalite was a new
variant of petroleum offered by Pertamina, in contrast with the government’s intention to replace
Petrol by issuing Pertalite. Although it is more expensive than Petrol, both www.detik.com and
www.tempo.cohave stressed their rationalisation that Pertalite consumption is economically

advantageousfor Indonesian society. In other words, by continously exaggerating advantages offered
by Pertalite through their online news contents, both www.detik.com and www.tempo.cohave
obscured Indonesian government’s long-term goal of replacingsubsidied Pertamina Petrol for daily
consumption.
Www.tempo.co is an extention of Tempo magazine which claimed itself “promoting fair and balanced
news coverage in attractive and humorous presentation (trnsl.)” on its corporate profile page of the
website. On its website, it is stated that Tempo had been terminated twice in 1982 and 1994, because
of its overly sharp critics towards New Order era government. Although its stated tendency to criticise
government, it seems that www.tempo.co has exhibited its support towards Pertalite introduction in
Indonesia. This might confirm Alysen (2003) statement that online news has more oversimplified
content than conventional printed media.
The highlighted commercial side of Pertalite and minor explicit narrative ongovernment stance to
reduce subsidied Petrol presented by both online media had concealed government’s long-
termobjective on stabilising petroleum security in Indonesia. In other words, hyperbolised and
repeated pressing on economic advantage of Pertalite presented by www.detik.com and
www.tempo.coresulted in biased news contents.To sum up, despite their contrasting media
orientation, www.detik.com and www.tempo.cohas demonstrated their support towards Pertalite
introduction by Indonesian government.
Conclusion
It is found that both media supports government’s act by giving positive impression or economic
advantages of Pertalite from varied sources including government officials and automobile industries
spokepersons, but lack of potential consumers’ opinions. It is also claimed that both www.detik.com
and www.tempo.cohad been exaggerating that Pertalite will completely subtitute Petrol at the
beginning of their coverage. In other words, problems defined by both media has been bent Pertalite
introduction from energy security act to the emerging of new commercial fuel type.Conclusion drawn
is that despite their different orientation, www.detik.com and www.tempo.co are both tended to
encourage the society to try using Pertalite by hyperbolising the economic advantage of Pertalite, but
failed to illustrate how Pertalite release is related to Indonesian long term intention to foster energy
security, as declared by Indonesian government.
