Nowadays, information delivery often relies on internet-based media, also known as online media. This study aims to examine how Boris Johnson's victory in the British Prime Minister election is reported through the electronic media Liputan6.com and to analyze the critical discourse meaning of its coverage in CNN Indonesia. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method and utilizes Fairclough's discourse analysis. Fairclough emphasizes "language as a social practice" and explores how media ideologically represent news stories in their texts. The findings indicate that critical discourse analysis highlights discourse as a form of interaction and demonstrates how spoken and written language function as social practices.
