This study examines how a local and a national online news platform in Indonesia framed the same Islamic financial regulatory controversy. After a multi-day service outage at Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) in May 2023, the Aceh Regional People's Representative Council (DPRA) proposed revising Qanun Aceh No. 11 of 2018 on Islamic Financial Institutions (Qanun LKS), which limits banking in the province to Islamic institutions. Using Entman's (1993) four-element framing model, with agenda-setting and gatekeeping as supporting perspectives, we analysed 15 articles from Serambinews.com (local news platform, n = 9) and Detik.com (national news platform, n = 6) published between 11 and 25 May 2023, and interviewed four editors and journalists from the two news platforms. Articles were coded against two predefined frames, a sharia identity frame, which treats revision as a matter of the religious and legal distinctiveness of Aceh, and an economic pragmatism frame, which judges the qanun by its practical consequences for access to banking services and business continuity. Both news platforms reported the same triggering event and began from the same two official newsmakers, but the lead sources of nine of the 15 articles differed between them. Serambinews.com's lead sources were divided on revision, yet the sharia identity frame was carried by legislators, an ulama council and Islamic civil-society groups. Detik.com's lead sources were mostly state officials and the financial regulator, and five of its six articles fit the economic pragmatism frame. The findings suggest that media proximity, institutional identity and gatekeeping routines are important contextual factors associated with this framing divergence. Two news platforms, 15 articles and four self-reporting informants cannot establish causation or generalisation, so the pattern needs testing in comparative studies with more news platforms.
