Pemberitaan tentang PE (16 tahun) yang dituduh ‘khalwat’ oleh Wilayatul Hisbah (polisi syariah) menarik perhatian peneliti. Ruang lingkup larangan khalwat/mesum adalah segala kegiatan, perbuatan dan keadaan yang mengarah kepada perbuatan zina. Ini termuat dalam Pasal 2 Qanun Aceh No 14 Tahun 2003 tentang Larangan Berbuat Mesum. Informasi penangkapan PE pun diberitakan oleh media. Berita tersebut mengatakan bahwa PE adalah pelacur dan pelaku mesum. Keesokan hari PE ditemukan bunuh diri. Selang dua hari kemudian ditemukan surat yang berisikan tulisan tangan PE. Surat tersebut berisikan peryataan PE yang menyatakan bahwa ia tidak jual diri seperti yang dituduhkan Dinas Syariat Islam Aceh. Tesis ini ingin mengetahui konstruksi pemberitaan PE di media dan hubungan antara pemberitaan dengan bunuh diri. Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian kualitatif, dengan menggunakan analis wacana kritis. Data penelitian adalah media yang memberitakan tentang PE. Penulis juga melakukan wawancara dengan keluarga PE yakni Ayah dan Makcik PE. Selain itu wawancara dengan pengelola media. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada konstruksi negatif pada saat PE ditangkap oleh WH. Ada stigma kepada PE serta pelanggaran Kode Etik Jurnalistik. Namun pada saat PE ditemukan bunuh diri, stigma kepada PE semakin berkurang. Selain itu, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa konstruksi negatif berita membuat PE menjadi malu sehingga bunuh diri.
