Abstract

The 2019 election in Bengkulu city has ended. Still, it does not require that there may be aspects that need to be observed and studied scientifically, especially how the involvement of online media is in the popularity of a party, so this study seeks to analyze political news. Analysis of political news will focus on the aspect of emphasis on the whole news section by journalists and the completeness of the whole news through framing analysis of the Zhongdang Pan and Gerald M. Kosicki model. So that the formation of the political power in question can be observed in the results of an in-depth analysis of the strengths or weaknesses of the news management party about the Bengkulu City DPW PAN on Guidelinesbenngkulu.com; (1) Journalists emphasize the title, source credibility, photos and graphics, although the emphasis on photos and graphics is not too much. (2) completeness of the whole news; there are still many news sections that have not described the how-to section, so it seems shallow; there are some parts of the news paragraph that are not following the background information; all news does not include the location of the interview; the entire news section from the title, leads, content, to the closing of the news, is following the completeness of the overall news. All political news about the Bengkulu City DPW National Mandate Party is opinion news.
