This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive type. The level of news distribution about Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates in the mass media during the 2019 and 2024 general elections has quite significant differences. News distribution during the 2019 general election was only dominated by @VIVAcoid, while in the 2024 general election news distribution was dominated by @VIVAcoid and @officialinews_. Partisan media alignments in the 2019 general election are towards the candidate pair Joko Widodo and Ma'ruf Amin, while in the 2024 general election partisan media alignments are towards the political affiliation of each media. News on @VIVAcoid leads to candidate pair Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka, @mediaindonesia leads to candidate pair Anies Baswedan and Muhaimin Iskandar, and @officialinews_ leads to candidate pair Ganjar Pranowo and Moh. Mahfud MD. Media polarization during the 2019 and 2024 general elections gave rise to negative public sentiment.]]>
