Abstract

Two main candidates in the 2016 U.S. presidential election were Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. In this election, news about foreign intervention, especially Russia, was so massive. One of the forms of foreign intervention that can be analyzed is by dismantling an edition of Time Magazine that is published exactly a month prior to electoral vote. This edition presented Vladimir Putin on its cover. This selection was certainly without agenda. To decode the meaning behind it, the author used an analysis of Tata Pembermaknaan by Barthes (1990). The author analyzed the cover through a visual analysis of cultural studies approach. This method analyzed reader exclusivity perspective, an image of aging Putin, and relationship between the U.S. presidential election and visual color and typeface on the cover. The research concluded that representation of Putin in Time indicates a partiality of American media towards Russia even though on the other side there is contestation towards Russian power represented by Putin.
