Fenomena kekerasan terhadap TKW (Tenaga Kerja Wanita) terus muncul, termasuk kasus Ruyati yang dianggap fenomenal karena pemberitaan media sangat intensif. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan kasus Ruyati yang dibingkai dan disuarakan oleh media melalui para narasumber perempuan. Teori yang digunakan adalah standpoint theory dan konsep feminist media. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis framing Entman. Sumber data diperoleh dari pemberitaan koran Kompas, Media Indonesia, dan Republika, karena ketiganya memberitakan kasus Ruyati dan TKI lebih intensif dibandingkan dengan koran lain sejak tanggal 20 Juni sd 1 Juli 2011. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan; (1) Munculnya nada pesimis terhadap kinerja pemerintah dalam menyikapi kasus TKI; (2) Posisi perempuan sebagai narasumber jumlahnya lebih sedikit dibanding laki-laki. Secara kuantitatif, media massa belum menunjukkan pembelaan cukup berarti kepada TKW. Kaum perempuan yang biasanya menjadi korban kekerasan tidak diberi posisi berarti untuk menyuarakan kepentingannya; dan (3) Nada suara narasumber laki-laki menekankan pembenahan di bidang politik, hokum, dan ekonomi yang terkait dengan TKW, sedangkan kepedulian narasumber perempuan berfokus pada penyelamatan individu TKW seharusnya dilakukan melalui diplomasi tingkat tinggi.

Introduction: This study aims to show the misrepresentation of minority groups, specifically widowed women (hereinafter referred to as janda) in the era of convergence of media content (television as well as streaming and social media) in Indonesia. Media as the fourth pillar of democracy are supposed to inform and represent everything in a balanced and fair manner, instead of favoring the interests of the majority. The question we attempt to answer is: how the misrepresentation of janda on converged media content (FTVs) in a patriarchal society?Methods: This study applied feminist perspective in media convergence as well as the narrative analysis of Chatman.Findings: In general, the results of the study show that the convergence has not been in favor of janda, indicating that internet technology does not only strengthen the gender-biased values of media industry person in massively distributing FTVs (via streaming and social media) that threaten minorities, but also ignores the opposing feedback from netizens. As a result, the minority groups are increasingly muted. Reproduction of labelling of janda is a strategy of media owners to obtain maximum profits.Originality: We noted many studies on janda conducted from various scientific perspectives. However, studies that observe the depiction of janda in the media convergence in the perspective of communication studies are scarce. This study provides a discussion on the representation of janda in the vortex of capitalism in media convergence as the major novelty in this line of study.
