Coverage of the Islamic State of Indonesia (NII) Movement's Resurgence in tvOne's Fakta Program

This research is motivated by the resurgence of the Indonesian Islamic Soldier movement, also known as the Islamic State of Indonesia (NII), which has reportedly pledged dozens of teenagers in Garut Regency. The re-emergence of the NII issue has gained significant media attention, particularly on the tvOne channel through its special program “Fakta”. This study aims to analyze the textual presentation, discourse practices and sociocultural aspects of the news coverage in the “Fakta” program on tvOne. This research employs a qualitative method based on Norman Fairclough's critical discourse analysis. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, literature studies, and documentation studies. The research results of the text dimension of the sentence representation aspect show various actions which explain that there has been a pledge of 59 teenagers or youths in Garut caused by a movement on behalf of NII. News writers also show the form of events to explain the actual existence of the NII movement. The situational aspect of the program also shows that the coverage of the NII issue occurred after the phenomenon of the pledge of tens of teenagers in Garut and it became the media spotlight. Meanwhile, the social and cultural aspects suggest that the program was shaped by Indonesia’s multi-religious society, where public interest in religious and political issues is evident through the media’s extensive coverage of such topics.
