Abstract

This research analyzes Tempo’s coverage of corruption at PT Timah Tbk using Norman Fairclough’s approach, involving three dimensions: text, discursive practice, and socio-cultural practice. The study examines Tempo’s article titled “Profile of PT Timah, a State-Owned Subsidiary Involved in the Timah Corruption Case”. The research finds that Tempo portrays PT Timah as a large and complex company with wide-ranging impacts. Tempo positions itself as a reliable source of information and creates news through in-depth investigation aimed at critical readers. Tempo’s reporting not only reflects but also shapes public opinion on the importance of combating corruption and reforming state-owned enterprise governance in Indonesia’s socio-political context. The findings show that Tempo plays a significant role in shaping public opinion and promoting transparency and accountability in state-owned enterprise management. This helps us understand how the media influences the process of combating corruption in Indonesia.
