Abstract

In early 2020, the world was shocked by the case of Reynhard Sinaga, an Indonesian citizen who had committed a crime that earned him the nickname of the biggest sex predator in British history. This study examines the critical discourse analysis proposed by Van Dijk. The data is taken from online news texts reported by CNN Indonesia with a focus on the Reynhard Sinaga case. The data is taken as many as six news stories with different headlines. The results of the study found that CNN Indonesia in reporting news is informative and factual without taking sides with any party. Five of the six news stories have the same topic. News writing tends to use a deductive pattern, namely from general to specific descriptions.
