Abstract

The research problem addresses shifts in religious communication within the digital era, where scholars' identities are shaped not only by direct interaction but also by curated representations on social media platforms. This study examines how the Instagram account @officialdarsun constructs the identity of KH. Previous research by Ali Mustafa Yaqub focused on content, production, and audience. The central argument is that the construction of ulama identity posthumously is influenced by message selection, presentation strategies, and the negotiation of meaning between account managers and the public. The theoretical and conceptual framework is informed by Branston and Stafford's work in The Media Student's Book (2003: 265–279), which highlights the importance of analyzing content, production, audience, and academic perspectives in media research. The methodology adopts a constructivist paradigm and an interdisciplinary approach, integrating communication science, digital media studies, and da'wah-hadith. The research employs virtual ethnography, utilizing non-participatory observation, digital documentation, interviews, uploaded recordings, archive review, and literature review. Data analysis involves reduction, visual reading, narrative interpretation, and presentation of findings, with validity ensured through source triangulation. The findings indicate that directed curation, production strategies, and audience engagement are crucial in affirming Kiai Ali's scholarly authority in digital spaces and demonstrate how religious identity can persist through media construction. This research offers a significant contribution to the field of Islamic communication in the context of the rapidly evolving digital era.

Abstract

Romania’s integration into the European Union has faced growing challenges from populist and Eurosceptic groups that frame EU membership as a threat to sovereignty, economic security, and national identity. This study examined President Klaus Werner Iohannis’s political communication in defending Romania’s EU membership and formulated an integrative attribution-based communication model. Using a constructivist paradigm, the research applied a qualitative case-study method and a transdisciplinary approach combining political communication, political science, international relations, and media studies. Data were analyzed using Kelley’s covariation attribution theory, van Dijk’s discourse structure analysis, concepts of populism, and EU values. The findings showed that Iohannis consistently constructed a pro-EU and Euro-Atlantic narrative by emphasizing democracy, human rights, security, prosperity, and institutional cooperation. An analysis of 45 Twitter posts from July 2021 to January 2022 indicated that 40% focused on EU cooperation, 42% addressed bilateral, regional, and multilateral relations aligned with EU policies, 13% focused on the United States, and 4% concerned NATO. His communication reflected low consensus, high consistency, and low distinctiveness, indicating strong internal attribution. The study concluded that Strategic Political Communication Attribution could help explain how political leaders counter populist narratives while sustaining international integration agendas and reinforcing public support for Romania’s long-term European political orientation and stability.
