Abstract

This study examines two mass media coverage in the Netherlands about the polarization through religious driven-issues. The purpose of this study is to explain the textual strategies and discursive strategies used by Dutch media dutchnews.nl and nltimes.nl between the range of December 1, 2016, to March 15, 2017, prior to parliamentary elections. The research data was collected through the reading-record technique with a qualitative descriptive approach using van Dijk’s critical paradigm. The results of data analysis revealed that the textual strategies used include the use of activation/passivation, abstraction, categorization, and lexicalization. Meanwhile, related to the discursive strategy, the media show the tendency to portray anti-Islam and anti-immigrant in the Dutch context positively.
