The primary purpose of this research is to explore the level of objectivity by journalists in their reporting. The journalist’s objectivity can be determined through the utilization of engagement, one of the appraisal systems developed by Martin and Rose (2007). Engagement, namely the source of attitude, deals with the source of the discourse by scheming the resources and the writer or speaker’s opinion through two main types of engagement, heterogloss and monogloss. Heterogloss and monogloss serve as great tools for evaluating the data analysis. The data that the researchers collected is from BBC News about Obama’s opinion on Muslim rights in India. Qualitative methodology is used for this research. The researchers read the online newspaper and separated each sentence to be grouped according to those two types. The findings showed that almost the entire data is classified as heterogloss. It can be concluded that the majority of the article’s contents are from external sources. The journalist focused and took on the figures’ opinions on the issue.
