Abstract

The news media has an essential role in providing information and perspective on the issue presented, such as Covid-19, which has become a hot conversation these days. Many media bring their perspective on the hot issues of Covid-19 and make people more selective about the content. Compiling the content makes it possible to use the semantic study to know the elements of meaning in the news. This study aims to identify the social and affective meaning that occurs in New York Times online news using the theory of meaning by Geoffrey Leech. This study was structured using descriptive qualitative methods. The data is taken from the news about Covid-19 on the Asia-Pacific page of the New York Times.
