“…Hence, their political agenda can be fulfilled by controlling people's minds (Van Dijk, 2015) in viewing reality. Therefore, there has been a wide consensus among media researchers (Dastgeer & Gade, 2016;He & Zhou, 2015;Teo, 2000;Van Dijk, 2015) that news discourse is never value-free, even though newsmakers are always proclaiming that they prioritize the objectivity and impartiality rather than the political and ideological agenda of influential people in reporting news about an event (He & Zhou, 2015). From this evidence, it can be understood that news does not only provide factual information about an event but it is also employed as a vehicle to accomplish a particular social action to exert a representation of the powerful people to society to accomplish their hidden and sometimes illicit agenda.…”

“…To understand the representation of the 212 rallies in this newspaper, critical analysis is needed to understand the meaning communicated by this type of discourse regarding these rallies. Without giving a critical thought, we, the recipients of news discourse, are never able to realize the representation in the newspaper (He & Zhou, 2015). In sum, critical thinking should be conducted to understand the context of the 212 mass rallies reported in any newspaper.…”

For decades, newspapers have become a daily need for people across the globe to update information. There is a tendency of the people to believe in the news published in newspapers, for media is considered neutral. In Indonesia, 212 rallies are the events that were widely reported as headlines for weeks by national and international newspapers. This study showcases the brief portrait of The Jakarta Post representations on the 212 rallies by its use of linguistic properties, to see whether The Jakarta Post is impartial in delivering the news. This study employs Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) strategies and applies the analytical tools drawn from Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG). The data were taken from sixteen 212 rallies related news, including seven headlines, collected from The Jakarta Post archives. The result of this study reveals that by using transitivity and conceptual metaphor, The Jakarta Post tends to stand on the side of the one being protested, and oppose the rallies. This finding suggests newspaper readers to read the information in newspapers more critically, to understand the use of lexicon as well as the structure of sentences to conclude the right interpretation of the news and to realize the representation. By doing so, newspaper readers will not simply accept the news they read.

“…Thus, according to numerous political, economic and social factors, different beliefs, perceptions, values are reflected in news reports, which immediately give readers a partial view of the world (Fowler, 2013). So the world of news is not the real world, but a world skewed and judged (He & Zhou, 2015). News produced by the media already has connotations of ideological bias towards an objective.…”

On April 16, 2014, a ferry named Sewol was on its way from Incheon to Jeju Island in South Korea, with 476 people on board. Most of the passengers were high school juniors on a school trip. After a sudden turn off at the southeastern coast, the ferry listed and subsequently drifted in the sea for nearly three hours. The ferry captain instructed the passengers to stay in their cabins until a rescue team reached while he and some other crew members abandoned the ship without informing others to escape. Consequently, only 172 people got off the Sewol ferry before it totally capsized and sank. In the months of rescue and search, the remains of 295 passengers and crew members were recovered from the shipwreck at the cost of the lives of two divers. Nine victims are still unaccounted for. This study aims to examine the framing of the Sewol ferry tragedy by three South Korean newspapers, which undertook different political orientations. The findings indicated that the newspapers reported the tragedy with different intensity and prominence, while employing different news sources. Responsibility was found to be the most salient frame in the coverage by the three newspapers. In addition, this study also found that the newspapers were mostly employing neutral valence in reporting the Sewol ferry tragedy.

Discourse representation deals with language structures which has crucial role not only for the text, but also for social practices. Newspaper is one of the real implementations of discourse representation because newspaper comprises several components in discourse representation. Newspaper in every country is made based on its language and every newspaper has difference and similarity in terms of discourse representation. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the contrastive analysis of discourse representation in Indonesia newspaper and English newspaper reports. The subjects of this study were KOMPAS as representative of Indonesia newspaper and Jakarta Post as representative of English newspaper. This present study applied descriptive qualitative design which focused on representing verbs and modes of discourse representation (direct and indirect discourse). The findings of this study were that both newspapers have differences and similarities even though the difference was not quite dominant. The similarity of these newspapers could be seen from the use of reporting verbs and indirect discourse which were more dominant than the other parts in discourse representation. The difference could be seen also from representing verbs and modes of discourse representation. Although, reporting verbs are majority parts in Indonesia newspaper and English newspaper, but several words in Indonesia had the same translation into English. Manner of speaking verbs, mental verbs were still rare found in Indonesia newspaper. In Indonesia newspaper had only direct and indirect discourse, while in English newspaper had direct, indirect, free direct discourse, and indirect discourse in headline. In short, these newspapers have contrastive analysis in terms of discourse representation.
