Abstrak

British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), sebuah media berita internasional utama yang berbasis di Inggris, memiliki pengaruh besar terhadap aliran informasi global. Sebagai sebuah korporasi yang berada di bawah piagam kerajaan Inggris, liputan BBC tentang IMF-Bank Dunia dan inisiatif ‘Belt and Road’ China menimbulkan pertanyaan mengenai ketidakberpihakan. Dinamika politik global telah memicu persaingan antara Barat dan China dalam hal pengaruh ekonomi, terutama melalui pinjaman dari IMF-Bank Dunia dan inisiatif ‘Belt and Road.’ Dengan menggunakan model pembingkaian Robert M. Entman, artikel ini menganalisis sepuluh artikel BBC untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana pinjaman-pinjaman ini dibingkai, dan mengungkapkan kecenderungan untuk menggambarkan IMF-Bank Dunia secara positif dan melaporkan inisiatif ‘Belt and Road’ secara negatif. Pola-pola ini sejalan dengan identitas BBC sebagai sebuah korporasi resmi Inggris di tengah persaingan geopolitik ini.
