CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF MICHEL FOUCAULT'S MODEL IN JAVA POS NEWSPAPERS: KOMNAS HAM INVESTIGATES THE WADAS VILLAGE INCIDENT

Abstract

This research aims to analyze discourse using Michel Foucault's model in the Jawa Pos newspaper which discusses the National Human Rights Commission Investigating the Wadas Village Incident. Discourse analysis is used as an approach to understanding the construction of discourse in mass media or news information and its influence on society's social views. In this research, Michel Foucault's concept of discourse analysis is the main theoretical basis. The discourse analysis method is carried out by paying attention to five important aspects, namely representation, misrepresentation, marginalization, and delegitimization. Text analysis involves analysis using a descriptive approach to outline Foucault's discourse analysis related to the phenomenon in the Jawa Pos newspaper with the title Komnas HAM Investigates the Wadas Village Incident. The results of this research provide a deeper understanding of how the discourse in the news text is constructed and influences the social views of readers. Apart from that, this research also provides an understanding of the role of mass media in conveying information and public opinion on this issue. Thus, this research contributes to the field of Michel Foucault's critical discourse analysis and applies this approach in the context of reporting by the National Human Rights Commission Investigating the Wadas Village Incident.
