Abstract
This research is intended to conduct a critical analysis of the news production process in the newsroom of the private television broadcasting company, Rajawali Citra Televisi Indonesia (RCTI). The research objective is to analyze the ideological discourse of news program Seputar Indonesia during the 2014 presidential election campaign. This type of research is qualitative. The research method is content analysis with Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis approach.. Based on the results of descriptive analysis at the text level, interpretive analysis at the level of discourse practice, and explanative analysis at the level of sociocultural practice, this research shows that the ideology of the news program Seputar Indonesia, theoretically and based on the recognition of key informants as the owner's representation, can be ascertained that the discourse news ideology Seputar Indonesia in the 2014 presidential election campaign is the Social Responsibility press that does not represent the public interest. In practice, the news editorial follows the interests of capital owners who seem to side with one of the presidential-vice presidential candidates, namely Prabowo-Hatta. In addition, RCTI also does not seem to give freedom of space for journalists of Seputar Indonesia to have a different attitude from the policies of media owners if the topic of coverage involves the owner's political economy interests.
