Keywords:

Abstract
Protest news is a key site for the discursive construction of civic participation, shaping public understandings of legitimacy, dissent, and democratic engagement. This research paper examines how politicians, critics, and protesters are represented in protest news discourse and how these representations contribute to ideological meaning-making. Drawing on media discourse studies and Appraisal Theory, it proposes a framework for analyzing how evaluation, attribution, and role allocation legitimize or delegitimize different forms of public participation. The paper argues that politicians are commonly positioned as institutional authorities and agents of resolution, reinforcing discourses of order and governance. Critics function as interpretive authorities who mediate audience understanding, although their visibility is shaped by editorial and ideological priorities. Protesters, by contrast, occupy the most contested discursive position, as lexical and evaluative choices may construct them either as democratic actors or as sources of disruption. By foregrounding the relational representation of social actors, this paper highlights how routine news language helps define the boundaries of legitimacy, participation, and citizenship, offering a theoretically grounded contribution to critical discourse and media studies.
