The subject of this research is news discourse during Covid-19, while the object of this research is epistemic violence in news discourse during Covid-19. The news sources for this research are classified based on online media news texts which contain the production of knowledge discourse and regulations for handling Covid-19 which have the potential for epistemic violence.
