Corruption is a big problem in Indonesia, and it is always reporting on media. One of them is illegal retribution in school. This research discusses the transitivity of news text regarding the wild levy at school. The aim is to describe the meaning of the material process through the verb of transitivity in reporting illegal retribution at school. The method used is a descriptive- qualitative method with a critical discourse analysis approach by Norman Fairclough. Data on this research are transitive sentences, and the source of the data is the news text of illegal retribution at school, which takes from the online media of beritakotamakassar. fajar.co.id., and makassar.tribunnews.com with ten titles of news regarding the wild retribution at school published in March 2017. The results of this research indicate that in terms of transitivity, online media (beritakotamakassar.fajar.co.id and makassar.tribunnews.com) use meaningful material processes of actions, circumstances, events, and mental processes (behaviors) in reporting case of the illegal retribution at school. This transitivity reveals that these two online media use more active verbs rather than passive verbs, which indicate that media are more likely to mention actors rather than to hide subjects, in particular on the dominant actor or subject. Dominant subjects are shown or highlighted by using active verbs, while dominated actors are displayed using passive verbs. The more dominant active verb used is the active verb, which states the meaning of action. It indicates that both media strongly support the steps or actions taken by Law Institutions (Kejari) in handling cases of illegal retribution in school.AbstrakKorupsi merupakan masalah besar di Indonesia sehingga tiada hari tanpa pemberitaannya di media.
