摘要:Large-scale Social Restrictions (LSR) are one of the policies of the Indonesian government in breaking the chain of spreading Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19). This policy is implemented at the provincial and district/city scales. One of local government that has implemented this policy is Surabaya Government. A news page belonging to the government reported that Surabaya Government had complied with what the provincial government instructed, namely implementing the LSR. The government reporting is a form of persuasive policy communication. Communication through online media is able to build public opinion. In the initial LSR reporting, there was no news about LSR monitoring in industrial estates. The purpose of this study is to analyze critically discourse on the news of LSR policies on the online portal of the Surabaya City Government. The data collected by researchers are primary and secondary data. The results of this study indicate that LSR news tends to be done to build a good image of the government only. However, this tends to ignore more comprehensive coverage. The government has also been too careful about releasing news about Covid-19 when it comes to industries.
