Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pandemic in the world as a terminal disease, different lexical items have been adopted by Nigerian News Editors in rendering news reports on the pandemic. Certainly, power and significance are embedded in these news reports and these headlines help to reveal hidden sociocultural ideologies. Thus, the present study investigates selected Covid-19 newspaper headlines in order to ascertain how newspaper headlines have been used to illuminate hidden sociocultural ideologies. The study adopts Fairclough's (1995) theory of Critical Discourse Analysis as a sociocultural practice where emphasis is made on the three dimensions (3Ds) of discourse analysis namely description, interpretation and explanation.Covid-19 newspaper headlines selected from five Nigerian Newspapers namely the Guardian, Daily Trust, Nation, Tribune and Punch newspapers are analysed thematically in a bid to ascertain how the choice of words by the editors have been used to reveal hidden ideologies. A critical analysis of the headlines reveals a covert underlying social and cultural motivation for the readers’ consumption. The study further shows that covid-19 newspaper headlines perform myriads of functions from the perspective of the readers as they have implications on the social, political, economic and religious life of the readers. It can be concluded that these headlines reshape the readers’ mind-set.

The Covid-19 pandemic requires everyone to live in the excitement of the digital world. The critical quality of citizens is shown as the real quality of citizens who are immersed in demagogue-style misleading opinions. The process of digitalization emerges sudden popularity, that the figure of Tirta, who graduated from medical faculty and now run his digital shoe entrepreneurship, has more influential statement than a doctor who is serious about pursuing his job. The effect of Tirta's speech in the digital world is more impactful than the voice of experts. This study aims to 1) describe the presence of a new type of consensus in the digital world that was born during the pandemic, 2) re-analyze the demagogical potential in a democracy consisted in Kompas.com using the democratic perspective by Jacques Rancière. This research used Norman Fairclough's critical discourse analysis method. The data were taken from the online news entitled Cerita Dokter Tirta, Influencer yang Terjun Langsung Lindungi Tenaga Medis dari Covid-19 (The Story of Doctor Tirta, an Influencer Who Directly Involve to Protect Medical Workers from Covid-19). The data were analyzed by applying three-dimensional stages, namely micro, meso, and macro. The results show that Covid-19 has changed social relations only through digital media and produce a demagogic nuance. The society becomes disconnected from their social reality.
