Abstract

The acceleration of digital transformation has reshaped how institutions communicate with the public. To remain relevant, both governmental and private organizations must adapt to these shifts—so too must the Indonesian National Police (POLRI). Through the strategic use of social media, particularly Platform X (Twitter), POLRI seeks to cultivate closeness with a public that is increasingly critical, responsive, and participatory. This study investigates how POLRI has transformed its communication strategy to construct a coherent public narrative on Platform X. It focuses on three dimensions: the evolution of work models, new collaboration patterns between the Public Relations Division of POLRI and external digital partners, and the strategic management of hashtags as part of an integrated digital-communication approach. Employing a descriptive-qualitative method, data were collected through interviews with policy-level officials, field implementers, and external partners. The findings reveal a paradigm shift from one-way, hierarchical communication toward an open, two-way participatory dialogue that allows the public to offer feedback, criticism, and direct engagement. This shift is not merely technical but reflects an institutional reconfiguration of strategic communication practices within an algorithm-driven platform environment. By explicitly linking empirical findings with Strategic Communication Theory, this study contributes to the understanding of how public institutions negotiate legitimacy, authority, and visibility within platform-based communication ecosystems. The study concludes that the success of POLRI’s online communication rests not only on message quality but also on institutional synergy, adaptability to algorithmic change, and the capacity to maintain meaningful dialogue with citizens. Strategic communication, when integrated with digital innovation, enables the institution to strengthen trust and legitimacy in the era of participatory media. This study recommends that POLRI enhance its strategic digital communication capacity through algorithm literacy, data-driven engagement, sustained collaboration with external partners, and the development of ethical guidelines to strengthen public trust and institutional legitimacy in digital platforms.

Abstract

This study focuses on the interpersonal communication strategies employed by trainers in motivating gym members to achieve their fitness goals at Fit Hub Manyar Kertoadjo, Surabaya. The background of this research highlights the importance of communication in the fitness industry, where the success of training programs is not only determined by technical aspects but also by the trainer’s ability to build effective interpersonal relationships with members. The objective of this study is to analyze the forms of interpersonal communication messages used by trainers and their influence on members’ motivation in pursuing fitness programs. This research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, using in-depth interviews and documentation as data collection techniques, involving experienced trainers and active members of Fit Hub Manyar Kertoadjo. The findings indicate that trainers apply both verbal and nonverbal communication strategies tailored to the characteristics of each member, utilize digital media such as WhatsApp and Instagram to maintain communication continuity, and implement the principles of openness, empathy, supportiveness, positivity, and equality. These strategies have proven effective in enhancing motivation, building self-confidence, and strengthening the emotional bond between trainers and members. Therefore, it can be concluded that effective interpersonal communication from trainers plays a significant role in maintaining members’ training consistency, increasing motivation, and accelerating the achievement of fitness goals. This research is expected to serve as a reference for the development of trainers’ communication skills to support the success of fitness programs in Indonesia.
