Abstract
The coverage of the Covid 19 vaccine on Kompas.com is the object of this research. The purpose of this study is to find out, analyze, and reveal how the political discourse in the news of the Covid 19 Vaccine and how post-commodification of information occurs through the news of the Covid 19 vaccine on Kompas.com. The technique used is documentation. This research is an interpretive qualitative research with a critical paradigm with Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis. Discourse analysis in this theory is carried out at three levels, namely text, discursive practice, and sociocultural practice. The results showed that the political discourse that developed in the news of the Covid 19 vaccine on Kompas.com was in the practice of media commodification. Political discourse in the news of the Covid-19 vaccine is represented as an identity battle between related parties, especially in government circles. The news on the Covid 19 vaccine, narrated by Kompas.com, is very political to gain recognition, support, and representation of media ideology by turning news into a millennial industry, ammunition for political competition and political partisan identity within the government.
