This article critically examines the discourse contained in online media, especially on the website for Indonesia's Ministry of Education and Culture, concerning the problems which were encountered by the education sector in Indonesia amid the COVID-19 pandemic from February 2020 to August 2023. Misinformation has increased due to the spread of information; thus, it is necessary to thoroughly analyze how the platform presents news on educational issues. This study employs the microstructure, superstructure, and macrostructure analyses of teacher writings addressing educational issues, based on Van Dijk's (2009) critical discourse analysis model. The microstructure analysis reveals the methods used by teachers to highlight a variety of learning difficulties while adding expressive components for nuanced teacher viewpoints. Simultaneously, examinations of the superstructure and macrostructure uncover a coherent and intentional pattern of arrangement in teacher-authored texts pertaining to learning difficulties for effective message delivery. This study underscores the pivotal role of teachers in implementing a well-organized structure to facilitate effective communication.

This study provides a critical discourse analysis (CDA) account of two online newspaper articles published on February 24, 2022, by The Moscow Times and The Washington Post. Specifically, attitude analysis was used to compare and contrast the two newspaper articles to highlight that both exploited all elements of the attitude subsystems to influence the opinions and attitudes of their respective readerships, albeit with opposing agendas. The results suggest that both online news articles expressed both positive and negative attitudes to the invasion of Ukraine, albeit in different ways. The Washington Post mainly focused on the negative aspects of the invasion and reported positively on the United States’ response to the Russian assault. In contrast, The Moscow Times reported on positive actions performed by both sides. Lastly, the study found that each online newspaper’s use of language to persuade its readers to accept its narrative of the events in Ukraine is significant in shaping the ideological perspectives of its readership.

Media can be a good representation of dominant ideologies in society. The analysis of such discourse can shed light on the mental and social structures of people in society. Adopting van Dijk’s (1995) layout of discourse ideology and his (2000) practical and general outline of ideological analysis, this study analyzes the Iranian movie A Separation, the winner of the 84th Annual Academy Award for the Best Foreign Language Film. The data are transcribed, modified and then translated into English. What is of particular interest to the authors is to examine the discourse of the movie based on van Dijk’s (1995) layout of discourse ideology which tries to approach ideology by ensuring the triangulation of society, cognition, and discourse. The authors are more interested in analyzing people’s simple daily ideological behaviors which are rooted in their cognition and dominate their social activities. Having mapped these specific terrains, the authors attempt an examination of the ideologies of the film on levels of meaning, forms, and action and interaction.
