Tirto.id media, as one of the leading news platforms, seeks to apply the concept of constructive journalism in its reporting. This study aims to determine the extent to which Tirto.id implements the elements of constructive journalism in the news related to the case. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach to reveal the application of constructive journalism in the news of "police shooting police" in Tirto.id media. The objects of this research are 21 news articles published between July 11, 2022 and August 17, 2022. The constructive journalism theory used includes five elements: solutions, future orientation, depolarization, constructive interviewing, and Rosling. The results showed that out of 42 downloaded news articles, 21 analyzed news articles successfully applied at least two elements of constructive journalism.
