This study aims to find out how online media frames news about agrarian conflicts in Wadas Village, Purworejo, which occurred in February 2022. This case has become a national spotlight because it involves the rejection of the andesite stone mining plan for the construction of the Bener Dam, which is considered to threaten the sustainability of the environment and the social life of the community. Through the approach of Robert N. Entman's model framing analysis, this study seeks to identify the differences in the construction of reality formed by Vice ID and Detik.com in presenting the issue. This study uses aqualitative method with descriptive content analysis, where data is obtained through news documentation from both media in the period from February to March 2022. The results of the study show that Vice ID tends to frame the agrarian conflict of Wadas byhighlighting the narrative of power inequality and partiality to citizens, while Detik.com emphasizes informative aspects bypresenting the government's viewpoint proportionally. These differences in frames show the difference in ideological orientation and editorial policy between alternative media and mainstream media. These findings reinforce the view that the media does not just convey information, but also shapes public perception through the way they construct social reality.
