Abstract. The editorial is the key to the newspaper, representing the editor's view of the actual event that is popular when it is published. This is an important current event, issue, editor's opinion, criticism, suggestion and hope for readers. Before writing an article, the editor assumes that readers have knowledge of the topic in the form of a pragmatic premise. An editor effectively writes an article based on an assumption that readers understand, explicitly or implicitly. However, explicit assumption is not easy for readers to understand, especially implicit assumption, which can become a problem because the editor does not realize that he is using sentences that are difficult for readers to understand. Based on this issue, pragmatic research can help readers understand the text of an article through its context, which is provided by considering who, where, when, and under what circumstances it occurs. Yule (1996) calls this ‘the study of contextual meaning.
