between January 18, 2019 and February 12, 2019.
The academic research found that
1. The form of meaning creation through headlines and news content issues through two discourses, namely, “Person” and “Action” discourse as follows
1.1 The Thairath online media emphasis on the presentation of the
discourses regarding the people in the group of the cause of the crime 32.14% accounted for in the headlines and the type of “government personnel” the most, accounting for 34.17% in news content issues. While Isara News Agency places the most importance on the “monks” discourse 63.64% in the headlines and 33.50% in the news content.
1.2 Thai Rath online media and Isara News Agency give the most importance to the presentation through the discourse on “action”, that is, Thai Rath online media accounted for 43.33% and Isara News Agency accounted for 20.69% in the headlines and actions of “government personnel”, that is, the Thairath online media accounted for 58.42% and Isara News Agency accounting for 49.55%
on news content issues.
2. Different types of media have set the framework for violence news. There is no totally difference in the meaning of the incident. But different in
presentation weight. The Thai Rath online media mainly uses the framework to define events through framing in the political direction between the state and the anti-state. Defining awareness of national interests and responding to the ruling class with the aim of reducing physical violence but does not lead to conflict reduction. While the Isara News Agency lays out content aimed at reducing the conflicts that are causing violence, including humanitarian, peace and public participation by creating a framework to balance and negotiating the dominance of the ruling class.
