Abstract
This study aims to dismantle the ideology and interests that have been frozen in the language behind the divorce of the artist Julia Perez on the Seleb On News program, MNC TV. This study uses a qualitative approach with Norman Faircloughs Critical Discourse Analysis method with three dimensions which are the main focus points, namely texts, discursive practices and social practice. The results of the study: through the text of the editorial news Seleb On News MNC TV has made the issue of women a commodity. Artist Julia Perezs divorce suit was told dramatically and moving. Seleb On News sells the sadness and tears of women for their business interests while preserving the ideology of patriarchy by portraying a woman as a weak creature. Conclusion: journalists have full power over the choice of words and facts that they will use when constructing an event. There are prices in the news. The interests of media organizations cannot be avoided when constructing a reality. Seleb On News carries out several actions that ultimately provide benefits to media companies / organizations.
