Peace Journalism in the News Construction on the Taliban
Conflict in Afghanistan on the Online Media of Al-Jazeera
English, Al-Arabiya English, and Xinhua Net
When the United States and its NATO allies withdrew their
troops from Afghanistan after two decades in power, the Taliban
seized power from the ruling government. This takeover was
swift and took the international community by surprise. The
international media at that time made political developments in
Afghanistan as their main headlines. The media play a significant
role in conflict resolutions depending on the news frame used in
reporting. Unfortunately, there were some media whose general
image focused on flights, unrests, security crisis, chaos, and fear.
Based on this context, this study aims to analyze how the practice
of peace journalism and news framing of the Taliban conflict in
Afghanistan are implemented in Al-Jazeera English, Al-Arabiya
English, and Xinhua Net media.
This study uses a mix-method with the Theory of Peace
Journalism from Johan Galtung, with indicators of Peace
Journalism analysis from Seow Ting Lee & Crispin C. Maslog.
and also Robert M. Entman's Framing Theory.
Based on the findings, it can be concluded that when reporting
the conflicts in Afghanistan, the three media (Al-Jazeera English,
Al-Arabiya English, and Xinhua Net) have fulfilled every
element of the orientation of peace journalism which consists of
peace orientation, community orientation, truth orientation, and
settlement orientation. Based on the proportion results, Al-
Jazeera English media applies peace journalism as much as 42%,
Al-Arabiya English media as much as 5%, and Xinhua Net media
as much as 27%.

Jurnalisme Damai dalam Konstruksi Berita Konflik Taliban
di Afghanistan pada Media Daring Al-Jazeera English, Al-
Arabiya English, dan Xinhua Net
Setelah Amerika Serikat dan koalisi NATO menarik pasukan dari
Afghanistan selepas berkuasa selama dua dekade, gerakan
Taliban mengisi kekuasaan dari pemerintahan sebelumnya.
Pengambilalihan ini berlangsung cepat dan mengejutkan
komunitas internasional. Media-media international pada saat itu
menjadikan perkembangan politik di Afghanistann sebagai tajuk
utama. Padahal, media memainkan peran signifikan dalam
resolusi konflik tergantung pada bingkai berita yang digunakan
dalam pemberitaan. Namun, gambaran umum yang ditampilkan
oleh beberapa media adalah ketidakpastian, keresahan, krisis
keamanan, kekacauan, dan ketakutan.
Berdasarkan konteks tersebut, penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk
menganalisis bagaimana penerapan praktik jurnalisme damai
serta pembingkaian berita Konflik Taliban di Afghanistan pada
media Al-Jazeera English, Al-Arabiya English, dan Xinhua Net.
Penelitian ini menggunakan metode mix-method dengan Teori
Jurnalisme Damai dari Johan Galtung, dengan indikator analisis
Jurnalisme Damai dari Seow Ting Lee & Crispin C. Maslog, dan
juga Teori Framing Robert M. Entman.
Penemuan yang dapat disimpulkan adalah ketiga media Al-
Jazeera English, Al-Arabiya English, dan Xinhua Net dalam
memberitakan konflik Taliban di Afghanistan telah memenuhi
setiap unsur orientasi jurnalisme damai yang terdiri dari orientasi
perdamaian, orientasi masyarakat, orientasi kebenaran, dan
orientasi penyelesaian. Berdasarkan hasil persentasenya, media
Al-Jazeera English menerapkan jurnalisme damai sebanyak 42%,
media Al-Arabiya English sebanyak 5%, dan media Xinhua Net
sebanyak 27%.
