- Research on semantic change has gained a great deal of attention in recent years, particularly in the form of written language, such as printed and online media. For linguists, semantic change or also news as semantic shift has aroused interest and curiosity du to the fact that it is a means of showing the development of language use. My intention for this paper is then to describe the type of and its motivating factors for semantic change which focuses on some news articlesin the online newpapers Tempo, Sindo, Kompas, and Media indonesia). All the article selected are concerned with the 2018 regional elections (Pilkada), which has currently been discussed most so as to recieve attraction from public. Using descriptive qualitative methode, this study will apply the framework of Hollmann (2009a) about type of semantic change and of Chaer (2007) about the moments for semantic change. In colleecting the data, this study will use a documentation method a and use taking. The result showed that theree types of semantic change were practiced in the selected online newspapers, and metaphors were the most dominantly dound in the articles selected. Meanwhile, the factors that motivate the semantic change were dominated by the association with other words. The result of this study, however, cannot be generalized to all other online newspapers or media. Owing to this, it is suggested that furter research may be conducted in the more online newspapers or any other media. Keywords: semantic change, pilkada, regional election, online media
