Abstract

The issue of women and migrant workers is still a sub-issue in media. Their representation is often unpleasant. The media are often trapped in discriminatory exploitation tendencies. A media program that tries to raise the issue of women and migrant workers is the Narasi People, Penjemput Jenazah TKI. This study aims to find out how Narasi TV represents women activists and their roles. The research uses a critical paradigm with a descriptive qualitative approach and critical discourse analysis of Sara Mills to see the position of the object and subject, and the position of the reader. The results indicate that women activists are positioned as subjects. Readers in the text are placed in the position of women as subjects. Narasi TV represents female figures realistically and fights the classic stereotype of women in media. First, women are shown as the main sources on social issues. Second, women are representatives some minority groups that are not the main priority of media. Third, women are shown as empowered figures in social change. Feminism ideology appears in discourses that seek to represent women in a realistic and fair manner as a discourse that challenges the majority discourse of media.
