Critical Discourse Analysis of News Coverage on the Arrangement of Parco nazionale di Komodo <\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The proposed arrangement of Parco nazionale di Komodo<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 intended to transform it into a premium tourist destination<\/em> \u2014 generated public controversy and wide media attention in Indonesia. Critics argued that the plan could disrupt the natural habitat<\/em> E ecosystem of the Komodo dragon<\/em> and complicate conservation efforts, while supporters emphasized economic and tourism benefits. The resulting media coverage on this debate reveals contrasting narratives and ideological positioning in Indonesian online news. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sfondo<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Komodo National Park, known for its endemic Draghi di Komodo<\/a> and marine biodiversity, has long balanced tourism development<\/em> with conservation priorities. Plans introduced by the Indonesian government to \u201carrange\u201d or restructure parts of the park for higher-end tourism sparked contention among locals, conservationists, and national stakeholders. A now-viral photo showing Komodo dragons blocking trucks<\/em> symbolized the tensions and drew further attention on social media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This setting provided the basis for a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA)<\/em> of how two influential Indonesian online news portals \u2014 Tribunnews.com<\/strong> E Detik.com<\/strong> <\/a>\u2014 reported on this issue. The study employed qualitative CDA methods to explore how each media outlet constructed<\/em> the discourse, including which voices and perspectives were prioritized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research Method and Approach<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Using critical discourse analysis<\/em>, the researchers analyzed the content of articles from both online media sources that discussed the park\u2019s arrangement controversy. This approach examines not just the facts presented, but how language choices, framing, and narrative structures can signal ideological positioning<\/em> and influence reader interpretation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
