Abstract

Pemberitaan media tidak selalu berjalan selaras dengan tujuan suatu gerakan sosial. Literatur terdahulu menekankan adanya dikotomi antara media alternatif dan media arus utama. Paradigma protes menjelaskan bahwa media arus utama cenderung membingkai gerakan sosial secara negatif, sementara media alternatif lebih berpihak pada gerakan. Namun, perkembangan gerakan sosial di ranah digital menunjukkan relasi yang kompleks antara media dan gerakan sosial. Kecenderungan peliputan gerakan tidak lagi dapat dipahami dalam kerangka yang dikotomis. Berangkat dari konteks tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelusuri fungsi jurnalisme yang dijalankan media dalam peliputan gerakan sosial yang bergerak di ranah digital melalui studi kasus gerakan #Percumalaporpolisi. Analisis dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode framing model Pan dan Kosicki terhadap tiga berita dari Project Multatuli sebagai media alternatif, serta lima berita dari Tirto.id dan delapan berita Kompas.com sebagai representasi media arus utama. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Project Multatuli menjalankan fungsi advocative-radical dan analytical-deliberative, Tirto.id menampilan fungsi analytical-deliberative dan critical-monitorial, sementara Kompas.com cenderung pada fungsi collaborative-facilitative dan informational-instructive. Keberagaman fungsi ini menegaskan bahwa relasi media dan gerakan sosial pada ranah digital tidak dapat lagi direduksi pada posisi bertentangan antara positif dan negatif, melainkan harus dipahami melalui keragaman fungsi jurnalisme yang dijalankan dalam konteks ekosistem gerakan sosial di ranah digital.
