Abstract

Newspaper is a representation of what happened in a society. It ideally informs the truth without any intervention and subjectivity from any party. This research is aimed at identifying Indonesia and Malaysia perspectives on flag incident printed in the booklet of Sea Games 2017. Malaysian government as the host for the annual event was responsible on what happened, but most Indonesian is still questioning about the background the fatal incident. The top-rank online newspaper articles from both countries were used as the instruments in revealing the stand point of the countries from mass media by using the discourse framework from Fairclough (1989). The online news is believed to have faster publication in today’s digital and technological era, thus the researcher focuses on the news published short after the issue was acknowledged. A critical discourse analysis (CDA) was administered by focusing on the vocabulary used in the news and by considering the cultural background between these two nations. It is expected that the findings of this study would represent the real intended messages and implied ideology from the parties involved. Thus, it highlights the relationship between those Southeast Asia Nations.
