Sumario:The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic which spreadly affected many things including the environment caused many mass media like newspapers to publish the news about it. The purposes of the research are to present the word-formation processes of terms related to COVID-19 and environmental issues found in five articles in The Jakarta Post newspaper. It is descriptive-qualitative research. The word-formation processes were reviewed to describe how the terms related to Covid-19 and the forms of environmental issues. The data collected by the note-taking technique are analyzed morphologically. Results of the research showed that there are some types of word-formation processes such as borrowing, compounding, blending, clipping, acronym, derivation, and multiple processes. These are the sample data of borrowing: pandemic; compounding: lockdown; blending: oxide that comes from oxygene + acide; clipping: oxide that comes from ox- -ygene (back clipping) + ac- -ide (fore clipping); acronym: COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019); derivation: agricultural that comes from agriculture- + -al; and multiple processes: post-COVID. The most common word formation process found are borrowing and compounding.
