This study reveals how the media shapes public opinion through the representation of social actors in disaster reporting. It reveals Kompas.com's tendency to highlight the role of government officials in disaster management. The purpose of this research is to analyze Van Leeuwen's inclusion theory in Kompas.com news with the theme Cianjur Earthquake. The library technique was used to collect data for this research. Articles used as research data were collected and cut and then given an identity. The data card format was used to identify the data. In this study, researchers used qualitative descriptive data analysis techniques. The data collected from observations were analyzed gradually using three stages, including data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data presentation is done using tables along with narratives about the explanation of the data that has been found. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that there are three categories of Van Leeuwen's inclusion theory found, including objectivation-abstraction, determination-indetermination, and assimilation-individualization. Thus, findings of this study revealed that in writing news about the Cianjur Earthquake, news writers highlighted government officials. This aims to raise the image of the government as a social actor who cares about earthquake victims and is ready to handle them.References
