ABSTRAKBersamaan dengan perkembangan kebebasan pers, pers Indonesia semakin mandiri dalam
menentukan kontennya sesuai kepentingan masing-masing redaksi. Hal ini sangat terlihat
dalam pemilihan presiden tahun 2014. Beberapa media massa melakukan pemberitaan sesuai
dengan kepentingan politik pihak yang mereka dukung. Sementara itu, Koran TEMPO
menjadi salah satu media cetak yang oleh beberapa pihak dituduh condong terhadap salah
satu calon presiden. Untuk memverifikasi informasi tersebut, penulis melakukan analisis
terhadap isi editorial koran TEMPO selama periode menjelang pemilihan presiden dari
tanggal 8 Mei sampai dengan 8 Juli 2014. Dari analisis tersebut penulis menyimpulkan
bahwa koran TEMPO tidak menunjukkan keberpihakan terhadap salah satu calon presiden
dilihat dari tidak adanya kalimat yang menunjukkan motif TEMPO mengunggulkan ataupun
mendiskreditkan salah satu calon presiden.
