Abstract: In 2020, Thailand’s anti-government protest attracted considerable public interest. Media representation of the protest and key people who are involved can shape how people perceived individuals or occurrences. This research was carried out to study how the prominent social actors–police and protesters–are represented by two news outlets, Prachatai English and Bangkok Post. Because the protest movement was new at that time, all available online news articles regarding the protest movement were manually collected. This generated two corpora: Prachatai English Corpus (PCT) and Bangkok Post Corpus (BKP) composed of 136 and 364 news articles respectively. Using a corpus-based approach to discourse analysis, the results of collocational analysis and a close examination of concordances revealed that both news outlets described the police and protesters differently. Dissimilaritiesin portrayals can be argued to derive from the differing ideologies held by the news outlets in which Prachatai English seems to support the protest while Bangkok Post does not. The concept of ideological square was adopted in the discussion to display the bias in media representation.
