Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate how Indonesian presidential candidates are represented in The Jakarta Post and Jakarta Globe after the 2nd and the 4thpresidential debate and to find out the hidden ideology based on the representation of each candidates in the news. The data were collected from eight articles taken from The Jakarta Post and Jakarta Globe website published in February, March, and April 2019. In doing the analysis, the researchers employs van Leeuwen’s (2008) socio-semantic approach as the analytical tool supported by transitivity system proposed by Halliday (2014) and online sentiment analysis. The result points out that both presidential candidates are represented in inclusion, specifically in activation and represented as active participants in the news article. However, the results reveal that Jokowi is represented through positive processes more than Prabowo in the news articles. The result further shows the values of both news outlets in regards to the presidential election. It is expected that the findings will contribute to give more insights into how Indonesian news outlet reporting each candidate, so that people canbe more critical when reading news.
