The attack on the Indonesian National Police Headquarter by Zakiah Aini (ZA) turns out to create public stigma and opinion that ZA is a terrorist. This is probably due to discriminative media reporting, i.e., when the perpetrators are identified as Muslim, the event tends to be associated with terrorism. Meanwhile, when the attackers are not identified as Muslim, the event is constructed as an attack and is not associated with terrorism. Regarding the Indonesian national police HQ attack, some media projected the issue by labeling the attacker ZA as a 'terrorist'. Such construction triggers comments from several observers. While some observers view the incident as a part of terrorism, others do not. This study applied a qualitative descriptive approach by employing Robert N. Entman's framing analysis. Republika.co.id and Kompas.com were selected as the object of the study. This study found that both online media construct the attack on police HQ differently. Republika.co.id construct the event as a gunfire issue and attempts not to associate the event with terrorism. On the other hand, Kompas.com views the attack on police HQ as a terrorist event. This study confirms that media ideology influences the journalists' view in constructing an event.

The news of the attack on the Indonesian National Police Headquarters (Police Headquarters) in online media caused controversial comments among terrorism observers. This is related to the protrusion of issues constructed by the media regarding the attachment of the "terrorist" label to the perpetrator of the attack on Zakiah Aini. Some observers said that the attack was an act of terrorism, but there were also observers who commented that the attack should not be speculated too quickly into an act of terrorism. The researcher uses a descriptive qualitative method with a framing approach to the analysis of the Robert N. Entman model on the online media Tribunnews.com and Republika.co.id which reports on the attack on the Indonesian National Police Headquarters by Zakiah Aini. The purpose of the study was to analyze the framing that was built in the Tribunnews.com and Republika.co.id media related to the news of the attack at the Police Headquarters and was expected to be a control for the two online media studied, especially in terms of media subjectivity. The results showed that the frames built by the two online media were very different. The frame built by Tribunnews.com is ideological stigmatic terrorism, namely the action was carried out because of an ideology under the pretext of jihad, while Republika.co.id led to shooting incidents. This study shows that the ideology brought by each media contributes to the construction of news.
