“…Most media reports about women as inferior (Subandy 1998). Geertsema argued that in era of increasing globalization, women are continued to be underrepresented and stereotyped in national, international, and global media (Geertsema 2009). The questions about media and feminism were attracting to scholars (Courtney et al 2020;Mahadeen 2015;Mattoscio and Mac-Donald 2018;Mendes and Silva 2011).…”

“…The relations of women, feminism and media have been explored in several studies, how women activists and feminist organizations produce, develop, and share resources online (Courtney et al 2020;Gajjala et al 2010;Geertsema 2009;Mahadeen 2015;Mattoscio and MacDonald 2018;Mustafa-Awad et al, 2021) and in particular research on Arab women, Arab Spring, and Media (Al-Rawi 2014; Dashti and Mesbah 2016;Debbagh 2012;Eltantawy 2013;Jackson 2018;Jarbou 2018;Kaye-Essien and Ismail 2020;Newsom and Lengel 2012;Radsch and Khamis 2013;Rahbani 2010).

Arab women and the patriarchal culture are two things that cannot be separated. The influence of globalization and the rate of information and the Arab Spring revolution have such a profound impact on the identity of Arab women. The issue of discrimination and emancipation as a manifestation of the effort to re-actualize the identity of Arab women is widely reported in the media that we can see its progress day by day. This study shows how the media represents the identity of Arab women in Midan Al-Jazeera, Al-Ittihad, and mawdoo3 which contain problems in the social life of Arab women. As for the social reality of Arab society, women are positioned as individuals who can begin to actualize themselves. The data were analyzed by combining the concept of critical discourse analysis approach by Norman Fairclough and Teun A. Van Dijk who divided the analysis into three dimensions: text (micro), practical discourse (meso), and sociocultural (macro). The results show that the articles in Arab Media represent the re-actualization of Arab female identity using a specific discursive strategy in each of the articles. Through the texts in the article, Arab women are represented as free individuals, regardless of the role of wife and mother, and to have an active contribution to the social and autonomous sphere. It is under the conservative Arab government agenda toward a more moderate country in the twenty-first century.
