Abstract

This study explored the significant impact of disinformation spread through social media, focusing on the documentary "The Social Dilemma" by Jeff Orlowski. The film provided a critical lens to examine how social media algorithms amplified false narratives. Using a qualitative content analysis approach, the research highlighted key themes related to disinformation, such as political polarization in the U.S., the flat earth theory, the #Pizzagate conspiracy, Covid-19 misinformation, and the incitement of hate speech in Myanmar. The findings revealed that algorithms designed to maximize user engagement often prioritized sensational and misleading content, exacerbating the spread of false information. This fueled social tensions and undermined public health and democratic processes. The study emphasized the urgent need for increased public awareness of disinformation's effects and called on social media platforms to take responsibility for reducing its spread.

Abstract

This paper is written as input for managers of higher education in Communication Studies in regards to the phenomenon of new digital communication technology development, as well as communication theory and research in Indonesia. While many communication scientists outside Indonesia have been talking about the importance of unifying the realms of mass and interpersonal communication theories in the era of digital technology, the teaching of communication theory in Indonesia has not accommodated such convergence. This has resulted in the absence of new/digital communication technologies in the existing communication research. Using the historical perspectives and previous works of communication scientists, a new perspective in the teaching of communication theory can be formulated, one that unifies the boundaries between mass and interpersonal communication. In addition, communication research that considers the presence of new communication technologies should also be pursued.

Abstract

Background: Perkembangan teknologi kecerdasan buatan (AI) telah melahirkan bentuk komunikasi baru antara manusia dan mesin, yaitu Human-Machine Communication (HMC). Meskipun mahasiswa sebagai digital native aktif menggunakan teknologi AI, mereka masih minim pemahaman kritis terhadap aspek etika, teknis, dan sosial dalam komunikasi dengan mesin. Metode: Kegiatan pengabdian ini menerapkan pendekatan edukatif-kolaboratif dalam tiga tahap: identifikasi kebutuhan mitra, kajian literatur, dan validasi konsep oleh pakar lintas disiplin. Hasil: Kegiatan ini menghasilkan standar kompetensi dasar HMC yang mencakup empat domain utama—kognitif, teknis, afektif-etik, dan sosial-humanistik—dengan indikator capaian terukur dari level dasar hingga lanjutan. Standar ini bermanfaat untuk membekali mahasiswa dengan literasi HMC yang adaptif, kritis, dan etis, serta dapat dijadikan acuan dalam kurikulum komunikasi digital di perguruan tinggi. Kesimpulan: Penyusunan standar ini merupakan kontribusi nyata dalam mendukung kesiapan mahasiswa menghadapi tantangan komunikasi berbasis AI, sekaligus memperkuat pendidikan karakter dan literasi digital di lingkungan akademik.

Abstract

This study engagement aimed to understand the self-disclosure experiences of adolescents living with HIV/AIDS at Yayasan Lentera Surakarta and to strengthen community-based psychosocial support. The program was conducted from May to July 2025 through group discussions and in-depth interviews with 10 adolescent participants, using a phenomenological method. The materials were delivered through dialogic and reflective approaches to encourage openness. Findings revealed that disclosure is highly personal, influenced by past trauma, social support, and self-acceptance. A safe environment like Lentera fosters adolescents' confidence to disclose their status. These results have important implications for developing empathetic and contextual disclosure support interventions.

Abstract

This study explores how the Public Relations Division of Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta, as an Islamic higher education institution, adapts its branding messages on social media to reach and build a positive image among Gene Z. The study focuses on the BHP UMS , internal stakeholders, and an analysis of UMS’s social media content from January 2023 to May 2025. The method employed is a case study with a qualitative descriptive approach. The findings reveal that UMS Public Relations adapts the university’s branding messages through strategies involving content, symbols, language, and formats that align with the characteristics and trends of Gen Z, without neglecting institutional values rooted in Al-Islam and Kemuhammadiyahan. This contributes to UMS’s positive image. These findings have significant implications for strengthening Public Relations’ communication adaptation strategies in university branding toward Gen Z, without disregarding institutional values.

Abstract

This study examines how Okezone.com and Medcom.id construct reality in their reporting on ASO policies using Robert N. Entman's framing analysis. A qualitative descriptive method was used, focusing on eight news articles (four from each outlet). This study analyzes how the media defines the implementation of ASO policies, diagnoses the causes, makes moral judgments, and proposes solutions. The findings point to a different framing strategy: Medcom.id, which is connected to Surya Paloh, the chairman of the NasDem Party, supports the policy through sources connected to the government. On the contrary, Hery Tanoesoedibjo's Okezone.com criticized the ASO policy so that it affected negative framing and the selection of critical sources. These different approaches describe how the construction of media reality is shaped by external factors and ideological influences. Understanding these dynamics encourages critical news consumption and awareness of media bias in shaping public opinion.
