Abstract
Yogyakarta Special Region as one of the provinces in Indonesia has a special system of governance that is different from other regions. The governor of Yogyakarta is not elected by the people, but is determined by the Regional People’s Representative Assembly based on who serves as the King of the Yogyakarta Palace. This phenomenon becomes interesting when there are differences of opinion among the community and the internal Yogyakarta Palace regarding the acceptance of women leaders. Conflicts began to emerge when Sultan Hamengkubuwono X issued Sabdatama and Sabdaraja (King Speech) which were interpreted as ways for the Sultan to smooth the path of his daughter as heir to the throne. Sultan’s younger siblings were the ones who opposed the female king to reign in Yogyakarta. This paper seeks to uncover how the local media Kedaulatan Rakyat produces discourse on internal conflicts of the Yogyakarta palace involving Sri Sultan HB X with his brothers and sisters. The research method is a critical discourse analysis of Norman Fairclough’s model to analyze news texts related to the internal conflicts of the Yogyakarta Palace from Kedaulatan Rakyat Daily. From the research, found that Kedaulatan Rakyat Daily produced discourses of internal conflict in the Yogyakarta palace by representing the ideology and interests of Sultan HB X’s younger siblings. This local daily newspaper also did commodification the discourse of internal conflict in the Yogyakarta palace as an event that should be produced and distributed to the public.
