Media texts, both electronic and print media, are of dynamic language type compared to academic texts. The dynamic use of the language is needed because of consideration: the effectiveness of the message, the variety of forms, the packaging of information, the diversity of the background of the audience. However, since the mass media is a financial capital-intensive business activity and its products are information, they may contribute economic and political benefits which are often their primary choice. The manifestation of media discourse can be divided into two elements: text alignments and message alignments. Text alignments are defined as lexical and grammatical choices that can be controlled semantically and pragmatically. For example, active and passive diathesis are clause structures that are determined by the role of the Subject, whether the Subject acts as the Actor or as the Patient / Receiver. When the subject acts as the doer who takes the action, then a clause is required to be active. Conversely, if the subject acts as a patient / recipient of the actions carried out by the offender, then a passive diathesis is used. The concept is based on syntactic description as a micro-linguistic paradigm. In fact, the text or discourse is not only built by the text itself, but also by the context as a macro-linguistic paradigm. The context in this case is interpreted as elements that are outside of the text and inside the text. The context outside the text can be in the form of political, economic, participant considerations so that it can influence the shape of the resulting text. Meanwhile, the context in the text includes the elements of the text that are pre-textual or post-textual to produce a complete message.
