Abstract

Poetry is not only an aesthetic medium, but also a means of communication capable of delivering social critique through symbolic language. This study aims to analyze the linguistic style in Emha Ainun Nadjib’s poem “God Is Already Very Popular” and how its stylistic elements construct messages of social and religious criticism. The dynamics of modern religiosity filled with symbolism, fanaticism, and the commodification of faith serve as an essential context reflected in Cak Nun’s work. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a stylistic analysis approach. The analysis was conducted through close reading of the poem, classification of stylistic devices, and interpretation of meaning based on the theoretical framework of social criticism and literary communication. The analysis consists of three stages: (1) identifying figures of speech and poetic structures, (2) categorizing linguistic styles related to communicative messages, and (3) interpreting the relationship between stylistic elements and the conveyed social criticism. The findings reveal that irony is used to highlight shallow religious practices, while metaphor and symbolism implicitly yet sharply portray social conditions. Simile is applied to make abstract concepts more communicative and concrete. Overall, the study demonstrates that Cak Nun’s poem represents a form of indirect social critique, as its messages are delivered implicitly through figurative language. Thus, this research emphasizes that poetic language functions as an effective communication instrument in conveying social criticism while encouraging readers’ spiritual reflection.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how two mainstream digital media outlets, Kompas.com and Liputan6.com, constructed the news agenda surrounding the death of an online motorcycle taxi (ojol) driver who was run over by a Brimob tactical vehicle during a demonstration riot in Jakarta in August 2025. The study employs the agenda-setting theory, using a qualitative approach and the content analysis method. Data were collected from online news articles published by both media outlets between August 28–31, 2025, that explicitly discussed the tragedy. The findings show that Kompas.com emphasized aspects of institutional responsibility and law enforcement accountability, while Liputan6.com focused more on humanitarian dimensions and social solidarity. These differences indicate that the process of media agenda formation is not neutral but is influenced by editorial orientation and audience characteristics. The study highlights the strategic role of the media in directing public attention toward issues of humanity and police violence in Indonesia
