To be truthful, human being is incapable to grasp and see reality as it is. Knowing this incapability, human being is only capable to create the so-called “perceived reality,” that is, reality as already perceived. This perceived reality is the result of social construction of reality, built within the limited horizon of a person. This kind of social construction of reality is on display by the media, regarding the news about the fall of Kutai Kartanegara bridge. Keywords: realitas, konstruksi, masyarakat, individu, media
