Meanwhile, Eramuslim.com highlights the ideology by defending Muslims as the victims. The study aims to find out the news construction about Eid in Tolikara presented in both media, as well as to find out the news framing by using the framing analysis method from Robert N. Entman. This method divides framing in two major dimensions, namely the selection of issues and protrusion of certain aspects of reality. The protrusion is the process of making the information more meaningful, more interesting, meaningful, or more remembered by the audience. The data is collected by using the technique of documentation and literature review. The documentation method aims to explore the data systematically and objectively as well as to obtain information to support the analysis and the data interpretation. Meanwhile, the literature review is used to collect the materials and literature sources such as seminars proceeding, books, articles, and other online sites.
