Abstract :
This study aims to critically analyze (1) text structure, (2) social cognition, and (3) social context of the Bali Nine news on Suara Merdeka website (www.suaramerdeka.com). The method used in this research is a descriptive qualitative method. It can be concluded that first, these news texts are able to explain the structure text well, such as the description of the background and the details of the overall texts. Second, in the social cognition dimension mostly the journalists report news about the various ways and the struggle that are done by the death row inmates and the Australian government to cancel the execution, but those ways always lead to failure. In writing the news, the journalists do not exaggerate or speak badly about The Australian Government, but the journalists implicitly want to highlight that The Indonesian Government is the one who has a full power to decide whether to carry out the execution or not and The Australian Government should just follow The Indonesian?s law. Third, the discourse about Bali Nine built in society (social context) raises the pros and cons. Not all people support the government action in executing the two death penalty convicts in drug cases.
