Mukt Shabd Journal, 2022
In India, not much has been learned about gender and the media in the past 20 years. Even though women in India are a big part of building the country, the media has not discussed this critical change. This study looks at how women are shown in the news sections of the Amar Ujjala and Dainik Jagran newspapers to find out how they are portrayed. It shows what kinds of stories have women in them and what roles they play in those stories. The study also compares the stories that female journalists cover to those that male journalists cover and looks for patterns. There is also attention paid to the female voice in the print media, both in terms of women as news sources and as news topics. A quantitative content analysis was used to find the information for this study. The content analysis was done on articles from Amar ujjala and Dainik Jagran newspapers. It was based on research questions about how often women and men appear in news stories and what roles women play when they are on the news. The study showed a big difference between men and women in how hard news stories are covered. The study also shows that there is not much effort put into showing women, and there is a clear imbalance in how news stories are given to journalists. These results align with what is already known in the academic world, both globally and locally. Because there has not been much research done on this topic in India, this study is the only one of its kind. Its results are helpful for print media and help fill a gap in the literature.
THE PORTRAYAL OF INDONESIAN WOMAN IN WASHINGTON POST THROUGH THE DISCOURSE STRUCTURE ANALYSIS
In analyzing the portrayal of Indonesian woman in Washington Post, the writer used the Discourse Structure by Van Dijk. Discourse structure actually part of The Critical Discourse Analysis from Van Dijk. According to Van Dijk (1998), Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is a field that is concerned with studying and analyzing written and spoken texts to reveal the discursive sources of power, dominance, inequality, and bias. It actually focuses on language and the social context. This theory also consists of three part such as; textual analysis, cognitive analysis, and social-cognition analysis. But here, this study only focuses on the textual analysis because the writer just wants to reveal about the portrayal of Indonesian woman in Washington Post. It’s not about the representation so that it’s no need to analyze about the social context. Textual analysis is about the discourse structure, here Van Dijk divided the analysis into three level; Macrostructure, Superstructure, and Microstructure. First, Macrostructure level, it deals with the topic of the text in general. Second, Superstructure level, it’s about the framework or schema of the text. Third, Microstructure level, it concerned with the meaning of the text.
Women related News: A Comparative Study of the Portrayal by National and Local Print Media
International Journal of Advance Study and Research Work, 2019
The role of media has today stretched far beyond the supply of information because of the outreach and technological sophistication. The media as a chronicler of events, an informer, an educator, a transformative space and a tool to change society has the capacity to make a very positive contribution towards social change. By gradually shaping public opinion, personal beliefs and even people's self-perceptions, media influences the process of socialization and shapes ideology and thinking. The ongoing revolution in the field of media had opened up new avenues for accelerating the development and upliftment of women. In the past few years, there has been an improved and enhanced coverage of issues related to women in print media, especially newspapers. News related to them, have started to periodically occupy key slots like editorials, features, news, etc. But portrayal through media reinforces reality as well as stereotypes. It is believed that women in news are more likely to be featured in stories of sexual harassment, domestic violence, and crime and atrocities, rather than in stories about their professional abilities or expertise. Therefore, it has become necessary to know the nature of the portrayal of women and women issues in print media, so that women related issues are adequately represented in media. This research paper tried to analyze the print media coverage of two National newspapers and two Local Newspapers of Kashmir, regarding women to known the amount of coverage given to women and women related issues and the nature of such coverage. The research study found out that the women-related issues get negligible coverage in both local and national level newspapers; it is 0.8% in local newspapers and 2% in national newspapers. This insignificant coverage is dominated mostly by news stories related to Domestic Violence, Sexual Harassment, Suicide and Crime against Women. Introduction Media is the fastest and most popular access to information for the masses in the world today. With the rapid development of communication and the infrastructural development in recent years, media had provided the masses with a lot more access to information. Media determines the public discourse and therefore shapes our political, cultural, and economic priorities. It also determines and shapes the roles of men and women in our society (Joshi, et. al., 2006). It is a mirror to society and acts as an advocate of people. It provides a truthful, comprehensive and intelligent account of the events, by observing the events, transmitting facts about the events and acting as an interpreter of these events. Media through its increased influence over the masses is able to shape ideas, values, behavior, and concepts of the public. This information being delivered is both positive and negative. Of various fields covered by media, coverage, and portrayal of women in media is the focus of special attention in contemporary times, due to progress made by the women in almost all fields of life and also due to the decades of research, advocacy and political lobbying at the international level. All these have compelled the media to portray an enhanced and progressive image of women and women issues.

Women, Media, and Power in Indonesia
2021
This book demonstrates the crucial link between gender and structures of power in democratic Indonesia, and the role of the online news media in regulating this relationship of power. Using critical discourse analysis (CDA) as a theoretical framework, and social actor analysis as the methodological approach, this book examines the discursive representation of three prominent female Indonesian political figures in the mainstream Indonesian online news media in a period of social-political transition. It presents newfound linguistic evidence in the form of discourse strategies that reflect the women's dynamic relationship with power. More broadly, the critical analysis of the news discourse becomes a way of uncovering and evaluating implicit barriers and opportunities affecting women's political participation in Indonesia and other Asian political contexts, Indonesia's process of democratisation, and the influential role of the online news media in shaping and reflecting political discourse.

The 4th ICSSED, International Conference of Social Science and Education
This study aims to analyze the portrayal of women through the subject-object position and the position of the reader. This study applied a qualitative method with the Critical Discourse Analysis (AWK) approach developed by Sara Mills. The result of this study indicates that through the subject-object position, VICE Indonesia illustrates women as parties who are often marginalized in polygamy. Additionally, women are considered economically helpless figures and only depend on men. Women are also considered as sources of defamation and sin for men.

Women must get educated as high as possible and have a better knowledge of religion. Meanwhile, according to the viewpoint of the readers, VICE Indonesia generally wants to make the readers as if they appear as women. Whereas, through direct greeting, there are two ways, namely mediation and cultural codes.
