Abstract

This article examines the phenomenon of media misogyny occurring in the context of online news in Indonesia. A survey indicates that Indonesian society tends to choose online news as the primary source of information, allowing people to easily contribute to and consume various information. Nevertheless, news media has significant freedom to produce news without strict limitations. The consequence is the potential for the public to become victims of crimes when they are portrayed as subjects in reporting, particularly in relation to the phenomenon of media misogyny. The focus of this research is to explain how media misogyny is manifested in online reporting using a qualitative approach, involving interviews with journalists and editors, as well as an analysis of the resulting news. The theory used in this analysis is Radical Feminism. The research findings show violations of the Journalistic Code of Ethics, gender inequality manifested in the lack of women's participation in the online news production process, and the impact on the production of news that is gender-biased and misogynistic.
