Abstract

ABSTRACT The Jakarta Post is one of the mass media that has long existed in Indonesia. The Jakarta Post produces all available information in English in Indonesia. At the end of 2021, there was quite a lot of discussion about #PercumaLaporPolisi. Many mass media made news about this hashtag, one of which is The Jakarta Post. This study used a descriptive qualitative method. To analyze the discourse released by The Jakarta Post, this study uses the theory of Critical Discourse Analysis by Teun Van Dijk. In this study, we will look for 3 dimensions of text described by Teun Van Dijk. Namely, text structure, social cognition, and social context. The result of this study was that elements were found in the text structure, such as macrostructure, superstructure, and microstructure. In social cognition, it was found that there were four schemas used by The Jakarta Post in making the news. Finally, social context. In the social context, two elements are found, namely power and access. In #PercumaLaporPolisi discourse on The Jakarta Post website, they as a journalism media that has power over access that influences The Jakarta Post discourse provide an emphasis to be more critical in responding to #PercumaLaporPolisi discourse. It can be concluded that The Jakarta Post explained its discourse neutrally in making its news. Where the Jakarta Post does not take sides with any sides, Jakarta Post explained the beginning of the problem to the response from the police and the public's desire for the police in the future. Keywords: Critical Discourse Analysis, The Jakarta Post, #PercumaLaporPolisi
