ANALISIS WACANA KRITIS PADA TAJUK (ANTI) KORUPSI DI SURAT KABAR BERBAHASA INDONESIA

This study aims to describe newspaper attitudes towards and views of corruption
cases in Indonesia, manifested in (anti-)corruption editorials. Newspaper attitudes are
manifested through two frames, namely the one criticizing corruption news and the
other supporting corruption news. The data were collected through a literature review
and a recording method. They were analyzed by the correspondence and participatory
methods. The findings are as follows. First, by criticizing corruption news, Koran Tempo
in its two editorials indicates a disagreement over corruption news. The disagreement is
caused by several weird facts in the court and the defense for the corruption investigator
who, quite the contrary, was sent to prison. Second, with a frame of supporting corruption
news, Kompas, Republika, Koran Tempo, Jawa Pos, and Suara Merdeka have attitudes and
views indicating agreement to support corruption news in newspapers. The support
refers to efforts to eradicate corruption that can be manifested in the arrest of a suspect
in corruption, the court, and the verdict on a suspect in corruption.
