Abstract
Conceptually, Islamophobia is still a debating term. One of facility used for debating Islamophobia is in the media online (Calabrese, 2015). At the other word, it could be an arena where collective definition related to social problems such as Islamophobia could be formed and developed (Bosk & Hilgartner, 1998). Particularly in Indonesia, research on the discourse of Islamophobia in the media is still rare. Meanwhile, as a Muslim-majority country, having known the articulation of Islamophobia in the media is very important. It could be an alternative point of view to the perspective found in the non-Muslim majority countries. An analytical approach to dialogue and nominalization (Siblot, 2003) of the islamophobia concept is conducted in this research by considering the social events, social problems and actors that accompany the Islamophobia news for analyzing two national online media in Indonesia namely detik.com and kompas.com. This research has two main purposes, firstly, to understand the concept of Islamophobia as journalistic work. This is done by focusing on the articulation of the news content, which is the compiled news by a journalist. Second, to understand Islamophobia in a dialogical concept that can be found in the comments given by the readers at each journalistic news. In this case the reformulation and non-reformulation dynamics of Islamophobic articulation by readers based on journalistic news will be part of the analysis in this study.
