This article critically examines the news of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the press. This article tries to examine how the COVID-19 news is used for political and ideological purposes. To achieve this goal, an analysis was carried out on the Kompas.com Online Media newspaper on 11 June 2020 and 05 September 2020. The Van Dijk news scheme framework is used to analyze reports selected from selected topics of Covid 19. Van Dijk's news scheme is very important to analyze every news (report) whether the news is taken from news channels or newspapers and whether broadcast or printed. Based on data analysis, the article found that COVID-19 news had been politicized and used for ideological purposes. The article recommends that a pandemic should not be politicized by either the media or any party, but we must work together so that the government and media personnel are able to work effectively and deal with this long-running pandemic.

The concept of maritime (maritime) is frequently discussed among the Indonesian people, a fact that may be attributed to the emphasis that has been given to maritime issues by President Joko Widodo since his candidacy. This article applies Faircloughian approach to critical discourse analysis (CDA) to understand the coverage of ‘maritime’ in Indonesian online media. This paradigm has been selected because the media does not simply act as a neutral medium through its publication and coverage; rather, media have specific ideologies, which can be described and analyzed through critical discourse analysis. This approach focuses on three aspects when analyzing written discourses: representations, relations, and identities. Representation refers to specific words and grammatical structures to construct reality; relations refer to the connections between the subjects as depicted in the discourse; and identity refers to reporters’ positions in their coverage of online media, including their biases. In general, relations and identities in Indonesian online media coverage have been oriented towards the government and society. The government has been constructed ambiguously by online media, but depictions of government have tended to be positive, with a focus on the success of its maritime programs.

This study examines the metaphors used in the British press to characterize the payday loan industry in order to develop our understanding of organizational delegitimation. Drawing on critical discourse analysis and theories of moral panic, we show how the metaphors used in the press framed the industry as a ‘moral problem’. The study identified four root metaphors that were used to undertake moral problematization: predators and parasites, orientation, warfare and pathology. We show how these metaphors played a key role in the construction of a moral panic through two framing functions: first by constructing images of the damage and danger caused by the firms and second by attributing agency in such a way that moral responsibility was assigned to the organizations. We also extend the discussion of our findings to explore the ideological dimensions of the moral panic. We develop a critical analysis that points to the potential scapegoating role of the discourse, which served as a convenient moral crusade for the government and other neo-liberal supporters to pursue, while detracting attention away from the underlying socio-economic context, including austerity policies, the decline in real wages and the deregulation of the finance sector. From this critical perspective, payday loan companies can be seen as a ‘folk devil’ through which society’s fears about finance capitalism are articulated, creating disproportionate exaggeration and alarm, while the system as a whole can remain intact.

This research examines online media related to the cases of Indonesian celebrities using critical discourse analysis approach. It aims to explain the textual strategies used by online media upon reporting the cases. The textual strategy focuses on the selection of certain vocabulary and the use of specific grammar. The data are collected through reading and note taking techniques on news texts in the online media, liputan6.com and kapanlagi.com, with certain topics such as: the divorce of Marshanda, Asmirandah interfaith marriage, and the case of celebrity prostitution. The current descriptive qualitative research employs critical discourse analysis proposed by van Dijk which generally believes that media always contains interests and partisanships. Therefore, they tend to provide positive picture of themselves/groups (positive self-presentation) and negative images about others (negative other-presentation).The picture can be analyzed through the way the media use the diction and build certain sentences inside the news. The result shows that media uses the vocabulary such as mothers who have an affair, women who cannot be emulated, presumptuous women, a liar man, no longer Muslim, etc. when reporting on the case of Marshanda’s divorce and Asmirandah’s interfaith marriage. Furthermore, the researcher finds the use of passivation, abstraction, categorization, identification and anonymity strategies in grammar.

The emergence of pornography cases that had gone viral on social media with the tagline "V Garut" shocked the public because the act was committed by a woman and several men. The female suspect claimed that this act was done because of coercion and pressure that the male suspect had put on her. The research aims to explain the level of text, social cognition and social context of the pornography news of "V Garut" on the online media of TribunJabar.id. The research used a qualitative descriptive method with the theoretical approach of critical discourse analysis by Teun A. Van Dijk. Data collection techniques used observation, interviews, and documentation. The research object was related to the news of "V Garut" on the online media TribunJabar.id with two informants. The results of research at the text level in the elements of macrostructures, superstructures and microstructures explain the existence of a discourse indicating an unfavourable situation such as violence and marginalization on the role of "V Garut". Journalists’ social cognition tends to judge this case as “unique” phenomenon, not focusing on a social issue that must be addressed in society. Based on the analysis of the social context of this news, it can be seen that there is a powerful practice of the media and the authority’s access in reporting the “V Garut” case. Keywords: Critical discourse analysis, pornography, social cognition, social context, text.

Makalah ini merupakan hasil penelitian analisis wacana kritis terhadap pemberitaan yang berkait wacana Aksi 212 di media Koran Sindo dan Media Indonesia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui representasi Aksi 212 di kedua media tersebut. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan teori AWK Fairclough. Hasil  analisis teks menunjukkan Koran Sindo telah merepresentasikan Aksi 212 ke dalam makna dan citra yang positif. Sementara itu, Media Indonesia dalam merepresentasikan Aksi 212 dibawah dominasi representasi Joko Widodo sebagai presiden yang mendapatkan apresiasi dari berbagai kalangan atas kehadirannya di Aksi 212. Pada tataran interpretasi teks Koran Sindo lebih berpihak kepada Aksi 212 dibanding Media Indonesia. Hal itu sangat terlihat dari judul berita yang disiarkan. Koran Sindo memberikan judul “Aksi Supermassa, Superdamai” sedangkan koran Media Indonesia berjudul  “Presiden Banjir Pujian Datangi Peserta Aksi”. Pada tataran eksplanasi dapat disimpulkan representasi tersebut sejalan dengan konteks sosiokultural-politik yang melatarbelakangi dua media tersebut. Koran Sindo yang dipimpin Hary Tanoesudibjo dikenal dekat dengan Islam, hal itu sebagai upaya meraih dukungan muslim untuk bisnis media dan partai Perindo. Sementara itu, Media Indonesia yang tidak terlepas dari sosiopolitik Surya Paloh adalah pendukung pemerintah termasuk pendukung gubernur Ahok yang diduga (dikatakan diduga karena pada saat itu Ahok belum terbukti secara hukum menistakan agama Islam) menistakan agama Islam. (This paper is the result of critical discourse analysis research on news related to the discourse of  212 Action in Sindo and Media Indonesia newspapers. The purpose of this study  is to find out the representation of 212 Action in both media. The method used is qualitative with the Fairclough AWK theory. The results of the text analysis show that Koran Sindo has represented  212 Action in a positive meaning and image. Meanwhile, Media Indonesia represents  212 Action under the domination of Joko Widodo's representation as president who gets appreciation from various circles for his presence in  212 Action. At the level of text interpretation, Sindo newspaper is more in favor of  212 Action than Media Indonesia. This is very evident from the title of the news broadcast: the Sindo newspaper gave the title "Supermassa Action, Superdamai" while the Media Indonesia newspaper entitled "The President Praised for  Visiting Participants in Action". At the level of explanation, it can be concluded that the representation is in line with the socio-cultural-political context underlying the two media. The Sindo newspaper, led by Hary Tanoesudibjo, is known to be close to Islam, as an effort to gain Muslim support for the media business and the Perindo party. Meanwhile, Media Indonesia, which is inseparable from the sociopolitics of Surya Paloh, is a supporter of the government, including supporters of the Ahok, governor who is suspected of defaming Islam.)

The government's decision regarding the dissolution and termination of all FPI activities raises pro and contra among the media and the public. The dissolution of FPI was decided by means of a decree signed by six ministers and heads of state institutions. This study aims to describe and dismantle the discourse of the news text on the decision to dissolve FPI using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The research method used is Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis through understanding text and context. There are five steps that are used as a reference. First, focus on social irregularities in its semiotic aspects. Second, identify barriers to address the social irregularities. Third, consider whether social order requires social irregularity. Fourth, identify possible ways to overcome these obstacles. Fifth, reflect critically from those four points. The results showed that kompas.com put FPI as the wrong position and the government's decision to dissolve FPI through an SKB was right. It is clear that kompas.com sided with the government. Kompas.com follows part of the flow of public votes in its news about FPI as a business strategy. The positioning of kompas.com was carried out because the government's decision to dissolve FPI caused pro and contra among the media and the public.

Abstract: This study examines how the relationship between gender language and ideology is constructed in media texts, and aims to interrogate a small number of articles taken from the most widely read online editions of national newspapers in Indonesia regarding online media reporting on the harassment of women in the "Ikan Asin" case. The focuses of this research are 1) how the women are displayed in the text. 2) How media displays texts, discursive practices that include the production and consumption of texts, and social practices. 3) What are the differences between the Mills and Fairlough critical discourse analysis models? The results of the study are that women are displayed positively even though the case they experience is negative. Text production is closely related to the ideology of journalists and the media as well as the audiences who consume the text. Both Mills and Fairclough's critical discourse analysis models have similarities and differences in analyzing texts. Key Words: Critical Discourse Analysis, Mills, Fairclough, Ikan Asin.

This article aims to describe complexity of news texts on discourse Desa Tangguh Bencana (Destana) in Yogyakarta and Surabaya which are contained in online media throughout the process of handling the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. This article use the critical discourse analysis (CDA) from Teun A van Dijk’s model (1988) to analyze the structure of news report which consists of two main categories: summary and story. The summary aspect is reduced to an analysis of headlines and leads. The story is revealed to analysis of the situation and comments. The result of analysis found that had been a shift in Destana discourse in 2 (two) online media (merdeka.com, and medcom.id3). The discourse shitfting comes  from an informative discourse to an investigative discourse during May – November 2020. Another finding was that there was a pattern of the use of issues and discourses that remain the same as a 'stage' for the appearance of the political elite. They have been using Destana's humanist discourse to become politically charged  with the shift in the word 'Desa' into 'Kampung'.
