The method used is descriptive qualitative with a content analysis approach, utilizing data triangulation through in-depth interviews and participatory observation. The results indicate that the effectiveness of information delivery relies heavily on the alignment between visual aspects and verbal narratives through the integration of Joe Lambert's seven elements of digital storytelling. The use of a Dramatic Question as a visual-verbal hook at the beginning of the video and the optimization of voice-over are proven effective in increasing the watch retention of young audiences. Furthermore, the AIDA-based script structure equipped with English bilingual subtitles successfully drives two-way interaction among the digital public, as evidenced by an increase in comments and content shares metrics. The conclusion of this research confirms that transforming communication styles from conventional bureaucracy to interactive methods through a smartphone-based mobile journalism approach has a tangible implication on strengthening transparency, public trust, and supporting local economic potential promotion in cyberspace.
