As the research material was published during June 2017. The results showed that there was a difference between the two media in reporting the issue of Full Day School. The difference is seen in the way they categorize the issue, Republika.co.id tend to support the rejection of FDS because it eliminates the moral education and character of students. In its reporting this media tends to support FDS rejection not necessarily applied to all schools in Indonesia. To reinforce the rejection, this media quotes many informants from the Ulama, PBNU, and other figures who assess the many weaknesses of FDS. The refusal argument based on FDS eliminates the opportunity of pupils to study religion as a basis for moral formation and human character. While MediaIndonesia.com tends to answer and eliminate public concerns about negative aspects of FDS. Media Indonesia.com urges people not to worry about the FDS program The arguments presented by Kemendikbud and Kemenag will work together on the lack of moral education and character in FDS. The figures used as sources are figures who tend to agree and support the implementation of FDS. The media should serve the curiosity of the community by presenting factual events that are assembled with explanations. The media should be impartial by taking a neutral and objective stance in presenting the event.
