Abstract

This study analyzes the media on political gestures as a bureaucratic discourse related to the decision to declare a presidential candidate for 2024 carried out by each political party. This type of research uses descriptive interpretive with a qualitative approach through discourse analysis of Teun A. Van Dijk consisting of macro and microstructures. The data source for this article was adopted in the news on the 2022 edition of Detik Finance media and the 2023 edition of Liputan 6, where 16 articles data will be analyzed using data collection techniques from library studies and literature studies regarding the representation of political ideology bureaucratic systems on digital media. The results and discussion in this article from the macrostructure itself is referred to as the concept of sentence structure in the introduction to the core of political discourse in the two news stories namely first, they tend to focus more on the principle decisions of political party policies that want to build the values and ideas of the nation to realize the life of the state and government. In contrast, the second news tends to focus more on the principle decision of the political bureaucracy policy which appointed Ganjar Pranowo to increase his assignment as a candidate for president of the Republic of Indonesia at the right historical and ideological moment on the Day of the struggle for women's emancipation. This is a form of message meaning that is different from an ideological point of view in political discourse in a news story. The microstructure can be seen in the expressions of political communicators, the meaning of messages in political discourse, and the arrangement of language in elaborating ideological sentences in news texts.
