This study uses media political economy theory in a critical paradigm, this study focuses on the structuration process that occurs in the Metro TV newsroom, Central Java-DIY. This study uses an intrinsic case study in a descriptive-qualitative approach. The results showed that there were internal and external interventions in the newsroom.
