Introduction Digital era which started in 1990-2000 (Permata Sari, 2. , has long been predicted by Marshal McLuhan, through his books The Gutenberg Galaxy: The Making of Typographic Man . , and Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man. McLuhan has provided a new perspective on Mass Communication, as well as the development of future ways of communicating. He predicted that the transition of technology from the era of mechanical technology to the era of electronic technology, also brings about a transition in the function of technology as an extension of human reach in a wider space. He called an extension of the human nervous system (McLuhan, 1. McLuhan stated that the medium is the massage. Media enters the mass era, meaning that we are currently living in a unique era in the history of human civilization, namely the era of mass media. Media has actually influenced the way humans think, feel and behave. The revolution of society into a mass society is due to the presence of mass media. The digital era, which began in the 1980s (Suwatno, 2. , is associated with the existence of the internet as a communication and information network, and Nuriyati Samatan / Jurnal Komunikasi Ikatan Sarjana Komunikasi Indonesia. Vol. , 2024, 146-167 now it becomes part of the life of the world community (CNBC Indonesia, 2. Internet is a connection between Personal Computer, either at home, company, or government institution. Internet is also a global information source utilizing a collection of computer networks as a medium (Unair Vokasi, 2. The internet makes people easy to access information (UNIB, 2. In addition, people can also use the internet for working, socializing, and shopping. Based on data from internet world stats. Indonesia has the third largest number of internet users in Asia, reaching 212. 9 million as of January The ease of accessing information leads to various trends in public interest through various news platforms, especially citizen journalism through various media platforms (Lindawati, 2. , which can then be followed by mainstream media coverage, or social media follows mainstream media coverage (Mudjianto & Dunan, 2. , due to the tendency of some people to verify social media information through mainstream media (KPU Bogor, 2. The news of the Ferdy Sambo case has been one of the most searched information since July 2022 as can be seen in the following data: Figure 1: Histogram Chart of Ferdy SamboAos Key Words Source: Google Trends Ferdy Sambo 2023 In Figure 1, it is known that the highest number of people accessing information about the Ferdy Sambo case is on August 14-20, 2022. The case where Ferdy Sambo, former Police Propam Cadre, allegedly committed premeditated murder of his adjutant. Brigadier J began to be widely discussed on online news media since July 9, 2022. In press conference. Polri initially stated that Ferdy Sambo's adjutant was killed in a firefight with fellow policemen. After going through a lot of trials, it was revealed that Brigadier J was deliberately killed and the mastermind of the murder was Ferdy Sambo, who was at that time the Police's Head of Profession and Security. From various confessions, the case surfaced following a complaint from Putri Candrawathi. Ferdy Sambo's wife, about harassment by Brigadier J when she was in Magelang (Tempo. co, 2. Ferdy Sambo was found guilty of plotting to murder Brigadier J. The judge sentenced Sambo to death.

Phenomena related to news on the internet media are very important to analyze. After a comprehensive comparison with several online news portals related to the news of the Ferdy Sambo case. Kompas. com consistently uploaded the news about it. In addition. Kompas is also known by the Indonesian people as one of the neutral and proportional media in reporting (Poentarie. Amir & Hasrum, 2. Analysis was conducted through Agenda Setting Theory, and uses Discourse Network Analysis (DNA) software version 1. 31, a JAVA-based software developed by Philip Liefeld . , by selecting online news on the Kompas. com website. The news items taken from October 17, 2022 to February 13, 2023, were selected based on the topic of Plotting the Murder of Brigadier J by Ferdy Sambo, until the final Court verdict for Ferdy Sambo. Theoretical Framework Agenda Setting Theory Agenda Setting theory was initiated in 1968 when a research on the US presidential election Nuriyati Samatan / Jurnal Komunikasi Ikatan Sarjana Komunikasi Indonesia. Vol. , 2024, 146-167 campaign took place (Ritonga, 2. The scientists who first tested this theory were Maxwell McCombs and Donald L. Shaw in 1973 with their first publication of AuThe Agenda Setting Function of the Mass MediaAy. It assumes that the media does not always succeed in telling public what they think, but it succeeds in telling them what to think about (Flora, 2. Therefore, media has the ability to select and direct people's attention to certain ideas or events. Media organizes what we should see and which figures we should support. Littlejohn . n Ritonga, 2. stated that Agenda Setting Theory is divided into three parts: . media agenda must have a format, meaning that this process will tell the problem of how the media agenda can first occur. the media agenda will influence the public agenda or the importance of certain issues to the public. This statement will show how much power the media has to influence the public agenda. , the public agenda will influence the policy agenda (Efendi, et al. , 2. McCombs . stated that audiences will consider a case is important if the mass media packages it through agenda setting. The Watergate case is a perfect example of the agenda-setting function through the mass media (McCombs & Shaw, 1. Until now. Agenda Setting Theory is associated with the power of the mass media in determining the agenda in the news, and in the end, it will influence the public agenda (Shabira, et al. , 2. The perspective of Agenda Setting Theory which emphasizes the news constructed by the media, has an influence on voters as in the research of Bernard R. Belerson. Paul Lazarsfeld and William N. McPhee . , and becomes a reference in deepening the construction of Agenda Setting Theory (McCombs & Shaw, 1. Tamburaka . , states that the mass media will accentuate the content, issue or topic by presenting it continuously to attract public attention until finally the public accepts the issue and considers it something important so that public opinion is formed through agenda setting. This is because the media tries to build public opinion through the agenda (Tamburaka, 2. Media also emphasizes the presentation of information based on ideological considerations (Agustina, 2. and does not fully present reality. Mass media also only focuses on certain issues and ignores the others that are considered not to have a profit impact for the company. Agenda setting is organized through three stages: First, the media selects news topics that will be presented to the public and then begins to process and present Second, the media agenda begins to be presented to the public as an effort to form public Third, the public are influenced and accept the media agenda by making it highlighted in every public opinion (Prabowo, 2. , and considered important by society (Littlejohn, 2. The idea of framing is a perspective that determines the parts to be emphasized by the media (Eriyanto. According to Dearing. , & Rogers . , media agenda has been determined by a period of time which is compiled on the basis of the interests of power in it on issues. Media agenda consists of several aspects such as actors, events, and opinions, formed by utilizing space and publications to be conveyed to the audience (Merheim, 1. McCombs & Shaw . stated that media agenda can be seen from various aspects such as the existence of politics or ideology in mass media companies that influence the formation of news. The news produced is a form of subjective interpretation of the mass media transmitted through its workers. Editors, journalists, and media managers have full control to form an agenda and frame an issue. It will have an impact on cognitive changes in society through the formation of thoughts, thus it shows that the mass media has a mental impact in organizing and organizing the lives of audiences (Morissan, 2. Budhirianto et al, . stated that agenda setting in the mass media covers three parts: . Media Agenda. Public Agenda. Policy Agenda. The Agenda Setting process in the audience is described by Albalawi and Sixsmith . as follows: Nuriyati Samatan / Jurnal Komunikasi Ikatan Sarjana Komunikasi Indonesia. Vol. , 2024, 146-167 Figure 2. Agenda Setting Process Source: Albalawi & Sixsmith . Figure 2 shows that agenda setting is done through the process of gate keepers from the media, meaning that there is selection and filtering of news and influential media. The next process is in individual personal experience and interpersonal communication. Media agenda provides reinforcement to the public agenda, and will eventually become a policy agenda, and in the context of a larger case, is a real-world indicator. Media Agenda. Media agenda is very important in determining the direction of people's opinions or thoughts through ongoing social construction. The media agenda includes three dimensions in its application, namely visibility, relevance and valence. Visibility is the quantity of news displayed to the audience. Relevance relates to the relationship between news content and public phenomena and community needs. Meanwhile, valence is the way news is delivered about an event (Cindoswari & Abidin, 2. Public Agenda. There are three dimensions that encompass the Public Agenda (Cindoswari & Abidin, 2. , first, familiarity which relates to audienceAos awareness of certain topics. personal prominence, which is the relationship between individual interests and other individuals. third, pleasure, which is the consideration that arises in the audience regarding whether or not to accept information. Policy Agenda. Budhirianto . stated that the policy agenda is the making of public policies that are considered important to the public. The policy agenda is part of the political agenda that is under the active and serious consideration of wise decision makers. Issues on the policy agenda are subject to substantive action on the part of policymakers, including the allocation and reallocation of government resources (Dekker, 2. Discourse Network Analysis. Discourse Network Analysis (DNA) is a technique to visualize discourse, either political or socio-cultural discourse into a network. DNA is a combination of category-based content analysis and social network analysis (Leifeld, 2. This method allows an individual to systematically identify discourse structures in various textual documents, such as newspaper articles, print media, or transcripts of debates in parliament. It is a JAVA-based software developed by Philip Leifeled from the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology. Leifeld and Haunss . stated that this discourse network model has been implemented into a software called Discourse Networking Analysis (DNA) . ereinafter DNA] which aims to provide categories and actors that can then be visualized into a structured network. Material and Methodology This type of research is Mix Method (Creswell & Clark, 2. , which is defined as a method that combines Quantitative and Qualitative Methods (Samatan, 2. , using a Sequential Transformative Strategy (Creswell & Clark, 2. The researcher uses a theoretical perspective to shape certain procedures in the research. The researcher may choose to use one of the two methods in Nuriyati Samatan / Jurnal Komunikasi Ikatan Sarjana Komunikasi Indonesia. Vol. , 2024, 146-167 the first stage, and the weight can be given to one of the two or distributed equally to each stage of the research (Creswell, in Samatan, 2.

Analysis Based on Agenda Setting Theory First, in terms of Media Agenda, the mainstream media reports information that is widely uploaded by social media, as stated in Astari's research . , which examines social media as a supporter of mass media in the rise of new media in the Agenda Setting process, in supporting the campaign process that occurs in almost all countries studied . ncluding: Norway. Malaysia and the United State. , showing information published on social media states that political campaigns . n the case of the United State. expand the scope of application of Agenda Setting theory and Issue Ownership Theory. The results found the potential of Twitter (X) to set the public agenda with or without news media as a support or information gateway (Permalee, 2. People prefer social media over mainstream media (AyoBandung. com, 2. , although Mudjianto and Dunan . , stated that social media still makes mainstream media a reference, for it still has very strict rules in the news process (Mudjianto and Dunan, 2. The analysis shows that Kompas. com has emphasized that the Ferdy Sambo case, which has become a cause for public concern made it keep up with the progress of the The case has become the media agenda, which is reinforced by the convergence between mainstream mass media and social media (Purba, 2. Second, in terms of the Public Agenda, in the research of McCombs and Shaw . , there is a relation between media agenda and public agenda. In the Ferdy Sambo case, some people followed the case (Caritau. com, 2. , like a serial soap opera, until Chief of the National Police (Polr. General Listyo Sigit Prabowo thanked the public for their support (Detik. com, 2. Various perspectives are seen in several essays on the Ferdy Sambo case, including those analyzed by Mutiah, et al . , on Personal Branding and the death sentence which is the maximum penalty imposed on Sambo for premeditated murder of his own man. The analysis presented by Purba . , stated that the public agenda was also strengthened through various information channels, when mainstream media such as Kompas. com, carried out news through social media channels, in this case the youtube channel. The Ferdy Sambo case is very popular on social media (Kompas. August 23, 2. The results of the LSIAos survey reported by Tempo. co on August 31, 2023, found that 77% of respondents followed the course of the Sambo case (LSI, in Tempo. co, 2. It means that the public follows the media agenda until it turns into the public agenda. Third is the policy agenda. Based on the results of the LSI survey. Djayadi Hanan found that 3% of those who knew the case, responded that the most proportionate punishment for the perpetrators, including Ferdy Sambo, was the death penalty, and 37% who knew the case answered that they wanted life imprisonment (LSI, in Tempo. August 31, 2. The judge found Sambo legally guilty of violating Article 340 subsidiary to Article 338 in conjunction with Article 55 Nuriyati Samatan / Jurnal Komunikasi Ikatan Sarjana Komunikasi Indonesia. Vol. , 2024, 146-167 Paragraph . to 1 of the Criminal Code. This verdict aligns with the will of most people, who want Ferdy Sambo to be sentenced to death, the heaviest punishment given for premeditated murder, of which Ferdy Sambo is proven guilty. This shows that there is a correlation among media agenda, public agenda and policy agenda. Although, in the cassation on August 8, 2023, the judge decided to accept the appeal of former Head of the Police Propam Division Ferdy Sambo, to reduce his sentence from death penalty to life imprisonment, and the cassation verdict became inkracht or legally binding (VOA.
