Content analysis research needs to be done carefully and systematically, because the results obtained can act as causes, preceding various processes, effects, and uses for specific interests. Some content analysis results are a picture of reality that can be used to describe a group or phenomenon. News objectivity is divided into three dimensions that represent, namely: public expectations (news about/comes from the public, government, politics, and media), professional opinion (types of informative news, entertainment, education), and journalistic ethics (news about Indonesia, non-Indonesia, and neutral). The score calculation results stated that the highest score for public expectations came from news from the media; the highest scores of professional opinion classify the types of informative news; and journalistic ethics state that the highest score is news about Indonesia. This research can be continued using other concepts such as news accuracy.
