Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui bagaimana kaum difabel direpresentasikan dalam dimensi teks, praktik wacana, dan praktik sosiokultural dalam majalah National Geographic Indonesia (NGI) dan Voice+.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan dalam dimensi teks, kaum difabel direpresentasikan NGI sebagai kaum yang kreatif dan mandiri dalam beraktivitas keseharian, sementara Voice+ merepresentasikan mereka sebagai kaum yang memiliki prestasi di bidang perubahan sosial. Pada dimensi praktik wacana, NGI memunculkan wacana hak asasi manusia penyandang difabel, sementara Voice+ mewacanakan keunggulan penyandang difabel. Pada dimensi sosiokultural, adanya kesadaran masyarakat inklusif dalam negara demokratis menjadi faktor sosial yang memengaruhi NGI dan Voice+. Namun, minimnya pemahaman mendalam membuat Voice+ terjebak stereotip heroisme ketika melihat kaum difabel.
Simpulan penelitian ini, kaum difabel direpresentasikan sebagai manusia kreatif, mandiri dan sama dengan orang non-difabel dalam teks NGI, sementara Voice+ merepresentasikan mereka sebagai manusia berprestasi. Di lain pihak,
NGI dan Voice+ juga melihat kaum difabel tidak mendapat perhatian serius dari
pemerintah.
Saran peneliti adalah agar wartawan NGI dan Voice+ dapat menulis berita dengan lebih akurat, berimbang, komprehensif, dan sadar akan pandangan “normal atau tidak normal” dalam melihat penyandang difabel.
