-This study aims to describe the
dimensions of the text, discourse practices,
and sociocultural in the reporting of LGBT
groups in the online media Tirto.id. This
research was conducted by utilizing the
concept of Norman Fairclough's critical
discourse. The method of data collection is
carried out by noting parts of the text that are
thought to contain text dimensions, discourse,
and sociocultural practices. The analysis
results show that in the reporting of the LGBT
groups, “Upaya DPR Singkirkan Kelompok
LGBT: Wajib Lapor & Rehabilitasi” in Tirto.id,
there is an identity construction formed and
displayed from the news text. The news about
LGBT presented by Tirto.id, shows the
inclination of this online media towards
LGBT, especially in human rights. Through
this news, the editors built the ideology that
LGBT always gets discrimination from certain
groups. Then, on the one hand, the editors also
want to make room for LGBT groups to voice
their movements that have been considered to
be conducted in private. The news produced
by Tirto.id is always based on empirical facts.
The issues raised by Tirto.id can be said to be
bold and are not raised by the mainstream
media (media that are pro against certain
interest groups).
