Abstract
The direct regional election of 2017 is one of the democracy parties celebrated by the people of Special Capital Region of Jakarta. As the capital of the country, this regional election brings special meaning for the people, communities, and parties participating in this election to become the highest sovereign of this region. Philosophically, it will be easier to win the next national election when a certain party becomes the sovereign of this Special Capital Region of Jakarta. In this case, news media has a very important role in providing good and useful information to the people and the community. The independence of media is expected to provide balanced, neutral information because it may greatly determine the quality of the ongoing regional election. As the opposite, there is also a possibility in which media is used as a tool to build political power. That is why there is a new phenomenon in which many media owners are involved and even actively participated in politics in Indonesia. The dynamics of the current communication technology development is started to be taken seriously by the media owners. They realize that it is not enough just to build media power that leads into conventional media only since it is no longer strategic. Therefore, they emphasize more on using online media to develop their media business. One of the advantages of using online media is that it can provide the new propaganda faster. In addition, as the media is having its power to build the public opinion, they got the power to directly lead the stakeholders to certain political interests. In this study, news report on Media Indonesia.com published in November and December was used as the object of study in order to identify the case of regional election in Jakarta. This study used a qualitative approach by developing a Critical Discourse Analysis Model of Teun A. Van Dijk Model. The objective of this study is to analyze and to describe the reporting scheme of political-related matter of regional direct election in Special Capital Region of Jakarta. The results of this study showed that in the scheme for the production of textual discourse, the cognition and the context are intervened by an ideology as its own dimension.
Highlights
IntroductionSome Nigerian scholars have argued severally that private mission universities are glorified secondary schools (Kanabe, 2015; Michael, 2015) owing largely to the policies of these universities which are contrary to conventional tertiary institutions
In the past and in recent times, studies have explored several areas of student safety and development, most especially in developed nations where priority is placed on student affairs administration, but such efforts are yet to be examined in the literature emanating from Nigeria despite several criticism against the policies of the Nigerian private mission universities which seems to have been specially packaged to ensure student safety and development
Contrary to the belief of many critics on the violation of fundamental human rights, the study has shown nothing like violation but the existence of stringent policies to safeguard students‟ safety and development
Summary
Some Nigerian scholars have argued severally that private mission universities are glorified secondary schools (Kanabe, 2015; Michael, 2015) owing largely to the policies of these universities which are contrary to conventional tertiary institutions. The escalation of social problems such as violent demonstration, cultism, sexual harassment, examination misconduct, corruption, industrial strike and other in the public universities have resulted in disruption of normal academic calendar and poor quality of education. These among others prompted the emergence of private universities to rescue the nation‟s educational system from lethargies (AfNews, 2012; Michael, 2015; Nigeria, 2012; Okafor and Duru, 2010; Yusuf, 2017). The paper is divided into three sections namely: Introduction, literature review and concluding remarks
