Abstract

This article departs from the fact that the media is free because what is reported is not always part of reality. The mass media that constructs a realistic variety of forms is not often out of context. Not surprisingly, every day continuously can be witnessed through recordings that are exactly the same differently by the media. One of the media reports that lately often appears is natural disasters in Indonesia that involve women as victims. The preaching of women as victims of natural disasters from the substance of disaster mitigation itself. Presentation of news about disaster mitigation is more than the alertness of men as disaster mitigation volunteers. Also, women are only positioned as victims who must immediately get help and care because they are weak. Reporting on disaster mitigation in Indonesia has not shown strong and real gender responsiveness.
