Abstract

ABSTRACT
Soeharto was a political leader who became a determinant factor in Indonesia for three
decades. On January 2016, Kompas.com published the special report to remembering
Soeharto that passed away eight years before. This research aims 1) to identify items of
memory about him that are considered still actual nowadays, 2) to find orientation of
memory about Soeharto, it’s just a kind of reconstruction the past –we call it
“retrospective memory”, or the news content were directed to do something in the future
–we call it “prospective memory”. To fulfill these purposes, 47 news samples are
researched by using framing analysis. The news had published on January 2016 and
January 2008 (as a comparation) in Kompas.com site. The study shows that 1)
informative memory about Soeharto is dominant –without positive or negative tone, and
2) most of all news tends to be constructed as retrospective memory.
Keywords : Soeharto, retrospective memory, prospective memory, online news

ABSTRAK
Soeharto adalah pemimpin politik yang menjadi faktor determinan bagi arah Indonesia
selama tiga dekade. Pada bulan Januari 2016, Kompas.com menurunkan liputan khusus
mengenang sewindu wafatnya Soeharto. Penelitian ini bermaksud untuk 1)
mengidentifikasi ragam memori yang ditekankan kembali dan dianggap masih aktual
tentang Soeharto, 2) menemukan orientasi memori, merekonstruksi kembali apa yang
telah terjadi di masa lalu (retrospektif) atau justru diarahkan untuk tujuan-tujuan masa
depan (prospektif). Untuk itu dilakukan analisis framing atas 47 berita yang
dipublikasikan melalui Kompas.com pada Januari 2016 dan Januari 2008 (sebagai
pembanding). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: 1) memori yang ditonjolkan sangat
bersifat informatif tanpa penekanan pada aspek positif atau negatif atas Soeharto, dan 2)
hampir semua pemberitaan terkait sewindu wafatnya Soeharto sangat bersifat
retrospektif.
