- Abstract
The background of this research is that the large number of news spreading in the mass media is potential in influencing the mindset of its readers. The text has the power to lead readers’ opinions to follow the writer’s mindset. This study is aimed at creating a mind mapping pattern in responding to news text information on religion themes. The research method applied in this study is the descriptive analysis method. Research data is in the form of interview transcript. The subject of this study is the students of the Indonesian Language and Literature department, 10 students in total. Data are collected through interview and note-taking. The analysis is made upon data reduction, presentation and conclusion. Broadly speaking, the results of the study indicate that there are two arguments developed: the respondents’ agreement and disagreement with the information conveyed in the news. That is due to the existence of indicators that require respondents to understand the implied meaning of the text and to apply the concepts in the reading itself. Based on these phenomena, it can be concluded that the need for critical reading in responding to the information read is crucial in filtering the truth of the news.
