<![CDATA[This research employs critical discourse analysis of media to examine the news coverage of the Papua student riot in Surabaya. This study analyzes how media texts and narratives apply news coverage of the incident in the Papuan Student riots in Surabaya. This study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis as its analytical framework. Data collection methods include observation and documentation.

The media's tendency toward insinuative or provocative reporting has exacerbated anarchic conflicts in several regions, including Manokwari, Jayapura, Fakfak, and Sorong.]]>
