Abstract

This study examines the use of euphemism in crime news published on online media platforms, with a particular focus on Detik.com. The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the forms and functions of euphemism that journalists employ to present sensitive or potentially disturbing information in a more polite, neutral, and socially acceptable manner. The data were collected from crime-related news articles published in February 2025 through a reading and note-taking technique. The analysis involved three stages: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that euphemism appears in various forms, including abbreviations, loanwords, foreign terms, metaphors, and periphrasis. These linguistic strategies serve multiple functions: softening harsh expressions, concealing sensitive information, maintaining diplomacy, providing educational value, and reducing social anxiety. Overall, the study highlights the role of euphemism in shaping public perception of crime news and its importance in upholding journalistic ethics. The results are expected to contribute to a better understanding of how language use in the media influences communication, objectivity, and sensitivity in news reporting.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Teacher Professional Education Program (PPG) in improving the pedagogical and professional competence of teachers in the digital era. With the rapid advancement of technology, demands for educational quality and teacher competence are increasing. The PPG program, as a means to enhance teacher quality in Indonesia, is expected to contribute significantly to the development of pedagogical competence and teacher professionalism in addressing the challenges of digital education. This research employs a quantitative survey approach involving teachers who have participated in the PPG program across several regions. The results indicate a significant improvement in participants' pedagogical competence, including understanding technology-based learning approaches and managing digital classrooms. However, challenges remain in the application of technology in daily teaching, particularly regarding limited access and adequate training. In conclusion, the PPG program has proven effective in enhancing pedagogical and professional competence, though improvements in modules and intensive training are needed to meet the growing demands of digital learning.
