<![CDATA[National Strategic Project (PSN) policies often trigger escalations in agrarian conflicts with local communities' living spaces. This study aims to uncover the ideological undertones and power relations behind Kompas.com’s news article regarding the Indramayu fishpond farmers' protest in April 2026. This study employs a qualitative approach within a critical paradigm, utilizing Theo van Leeuwen’s sociosemantic model of critical discourse analysis. The findings demonstrate that Kompas.com utilizes the exclusion strategy of nominalization to obscure the actors behind the chaos to mitigate crisis sensitivity. Conversely, inclusion strategies are complexly deployed by Regent Lucky Hakim through personalization techniques to build a humanistic image, alongside institutional impersonalization and higher-authority functionalization to achieve agency deletion. Meanwhile, the fishpond farmers' group (KOMPI) is identified through their vulnerable lower-class status. This study concludes that Kompas.com's journalism tends to orient toward maintaining state authority and stability rather than balancing marginal discourses.
