Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 1
Abstract
This article discusses the position of women as victims of violence in two articles in Al-Jazeera newspaper. The purpose of this research is to explain how Al-Jazeera placed women as victims of violence in the news delivered. This research uses qualitative method with literature study. The results show that Al-Jazeera is a newspaper committed to accuracy, objectivity, neutrality and is attentive to achieve harmony with the Arab society and its cultural, social, and cultural components. According to the type of discourse in the news presented by Al-Jazeera, Al-Jazeera uses a lot of nonfiction discourse, referential discourse, expediative discourse, descriptive discourse, and conative discourse. In the both data, it is found that there is no misrepresentation or an unrighteous practice of describing a person, a group, and an opinion. All opinions are conveyed according to what exists, not exacerbated or twisted. Two examples of stories taken depict the women clearly and plainly. It can be concluded that Al-Jazeera has been fighting for women's rights. This corresponds to the mission of Al-Jazeera. In addition, Al-Jazeera is also careful in conveying the news. Cases are sought out and analysed from the causes, effects, and reactions of others. This corresponds to the source of knowledge used by Al-Jazeera, a site that provides opinions with the deepest dimensions beyond the news through analysis, scientific research, and the study of depth.
