Background: Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), as longstanding institutions of moral and spiritual education in Indonesia, have recently faced public scrutiny following the building collapse at Pondok Pesantren Al-Khoziny and the controversial portrayal of pesantren activities in the Xpose Uncensored aired on Trans7, prompting this study to analyze how the media construct the image of pesantren through Robert N. Entman’s framing perspective. Methods: This study applies a qualitative descriptive design using Robert N. Entman’s framing analysis model (define problems, diagnose causes, make moral judgment, and treatment recommendation) to examine news texts from BBC News Indonesia, TVOne News, and the Xpose Uncensored program on Trans7, with data analyzed through Miles and Huberman’s stages of data collection, reduction, display, and conclusion drawing, supported by relevant literature as secondary sources. Findings: The main findings of this study indicate that the three media outlets construct the image of pesantren through different frames in accordance with their respective editorial perspectives. BBC News Indonesia emphasizes the tension between the narrative of “destiny” and demands for accountability, leading to the perception that pesantren are prone to using religious statements to obscure potential negligence. TVOne News frames pesantren as institutions that are administratively and technically negligent in construction governance, thus portraying the building collapse as evidence of failed development management. Meanwhile, Trans7, through its Xpose Uncensored program, constructs an image of pesantren characterized by strong social hierarchies and unequal power relations between kiai and santri, highlighting visuals and narratives of so-called “new-style feudalism". Conclusion: The three mass media outlets construct the image of pesantren in different ways through the selection of focus, narratives, and moral evaluations, resulting in framing that significantly influences public perceptions of pesantren. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this study lies in the integration of two contemporary event contexts and a cross-media analysis that comprehensively maps how the image of pesantren is constructed through current news coverage an approach that has rarely been explored in previous studies.
