The results of this study are that www.tribunnews.com has done the practice of symbolic violence. This practice is characterized by the style of the arrangement of words that seem dramatic, systematic, accompanied by pictures of the condition of the victim and the victim's family tend to be terrible and repetitive. In addition, photographs and daily lives of victims during their life were also revealed in detail. The condition of the house and family during grieving is also told dramatically.
