INTRODUCTION
The development of information
technology leads to the emergence of a variety
of language use in accordance with the media
used. Information technology becomes a new
round of world order and the development of
human communication. According to Latief
and Ibrahim (1996) this communication
revolution if sorted can be started from the
stage of pre-spoken, spoken, written, print,
mass media to telematics. Schramm’s note in
Latief and Ibrahim (1996) mentions that the
development of telecommunications from
spoken to written language took at least 50
million years; from writing to printing took as
much as 5,000 years; and printing to audiovisual media (photography, telephone, sound
recordings, radio, television) took about 500
years.
The use of Indonesian language in the
mass media is increasingly widespread, even
forming its own genre, namely Indonesian
journalism. Variety of Indonesian journalism
is used by journalists to convey information in
the form of news to the readers. In fact, in
Indonesian journalism, there are variations,
such as newspaper journalism, magazine
journalism, tabloid journalism, television
journalism, radio journalism, and internet
journalism. These differences are more due to
the functions of the mass media in different
times, thus demanding the use of different
languages too. Sociolinguistically, the
language of journalism is a variation or variety
of Indonesian language formed because of
differences in delivery media of language,
namely print and electronic media. Therefore,
the language of journalism is understood as a
variety of mass communication languages
used by print and electronic media.
In the language of journalism we see
two important things, the first is picture of the
society’s progress in the language, especially
related to the language creativity. Journalism
language is the daily language of society
