Abstract

This research seeks to track the traces of ideological contention in text coverage of divorce sue case of Julia Perez over her husband Gaston Castanno at Seleb on News , MNC TV. This study uses a qualitative approach with Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) method of Norman Fairclough and focuses on three dimensions. Those are text, discursive practices and social praxis. Journalists, reporters, and editors have full authority over the word selection to use. At the text level, the researcher studied it using framing analysis of Robert N. Entman. On its news narration, Seleb on News MNC TV brought the issue of divorce Jupe over Gaston Castano to law sphere. Gaston Castano is positioned as the cause of the problem, Julia Perez (Jupe) is positioned as a hero as well as a victim. Moral claim of happiness deserves to be fought for. Problem solving proposed by Seleb on News in news frame is that Jupe has a right to be happy, Gaston deserves to be divorced. In discursive practice, the researcher tries to dismantle the ideology or interests that the depiction of women who sued for divorce because of the violence that occurred in the household is a form of news commodification as well as strategy of perpetuating patriarchal ideology. Julia Perez's divorce phrase is told in a dramatic and moving way, selling women's sadness and tears as merchandise while perpetuating patriarchal cultural practices by showing depictions sacrificing women as weak creatures.
