Language Errors in the Text of the Kalimantan News Article News

Abstract

Language is one of the most important forms of human communication and influences human life and culture. This research aims to describe the language errors found on the Kalimantan News news portal. In the current digital era, the ease of access to information through online media requires the use of correct language and according to the rules so that the message can be conveyed clearly to readers. However, various language errors are still found in online media, especially in the aspects of spelling, the use of capital letters, prefixes, punctuation, and typo errors. This study uses a literature review method by collecting and analyzing various relevant literature sources such as books, journals, articles, and online news. The data that has been collected is then used to compile a theoretical foundation. The results of the study show that the Kalimantan News portal still contains many errors in these aspects that can interfere with readers' understanding. These findings are expected to be evaluation material for online media managers in order to improve the quality of language in news writing so that the information conveyed is easier to understand and does not cause ambiguity.
