The primary instrument in this research was the researcher and the secondary instrument were in the forms of data card and data sheets used to categorize the data into the process types, participant types and functions and circumstantial elements. The news reports were selected through the purposive sampling technique which then were classified and reduced according to the research question and literature review.

The result of the research reveals that the Material process dominates the process types in the news reports with 874 processes (46.64%) out of the total processes. This means that most of the realities found in the news reports are about actions, observable activities and visible events. Additionally, Actor and Goal become the most prominent participant functions in the news reports. Goal appears with the highest percentage (27%) followed by Actor in the second place (19.7%). The result shows that major clauses analyzed are mostly in the form of passive voice where the doer of the action is omitted. The domination of Non-Human participants with 1392 features in the news reports reveals that they play more roles in the realities than Human participants do. This also means that the realities mainly talk about the process or the events rather than the actor or doer in the action. Meanwhile, the occurrence of circumstantial element in the news reports reveals that the journalists try to present credible news reports to the readers by providing the event and fact together with the additional information in terms of circumstances. The circumstance is mostly in the form of Location with 565 features (60.36%) out of the total circumstances, showing that where and when the actions and happenings take place dominate the circumstantial elements accompanying the realities concerning the Interception of the Mavi Marmara issue derived from Al-Jazeera International (AJI) website.
