Abstract :

The fact that many politicians involved in corruption cases leads the media to publish a lot of news talking about them. This article aims to find out the way the journalists portray men and women politicians in The Jakarta Post’s news articles about corruption cases. Critical Discourse Analysis proposed by van Dijk was applied to analyze four articles related to Muhammad Nazaruddin, Andi Mallarangeng, Angelina Sondakh, and Wa Ode Nurhayati as the politicians involved in corruption cases. Based on the three levels of analysis on van Dijk’s CDA including textual, socio-cognition, and societal analysis, it can be concluded that the journalists portray men and women politicians in The Jakarta Post’s news articles about corruption cases differently. By putting the details of corruption cases in the very end of the news articles and using some terms related to power and high status as politicians, the journalist portrayed men politicians involved in corruption cases as a powerful, respected, and a high status corruptor. On the other hand, by putting the details about corruption cases early in the beginning of the news articles, using particular lexical choice, and providing additional information about personal matters such as the age and lifestyle, the journalist portray women politicians involved in corruption cases as less powerful and less respected corruptors. These portrayals are related to the concept of gender in Indonesia, which dominantly follows the concept of patriarchal culture, in which man stands on the higher position than woman.
