Abstract

Social media marketing expands market reach through platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, while video marketing displays products more attractively on TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube to increase customer engagement. Social media analytics functions to analyze customer data, measure campaign effectiveness, and optimize promotional strategies to be more targeted. This research used a quantitative method with 100 samples from Medan Selayang District using the cluster sampling method. The research results show that social media marketing has a positive and significant effect on increasing sales (t-statistics 6.249 > 1.66, p-values ​​0.000), while video marketing has no significant effect (t-statistics 0.784 < 1.66, p-values ​​0.433). Social media analytics has a positive and significant influence (t-statistics 2.589 > 1.66, p-values ​​0.010). Adjusted R-Square of 0.482 shows that 48.2% of the variation in the increase in MSME sales is explained by these three variables, while 51.8% is influenced by other factors outside this research.

Abstract

The use of online dating applications such as Bumble is becoming increasingly popular among teenagers and young adults, offering convenience in building social relationships. However, these applications also have the potential to encourage deviant behavior that can impact users' social and psychological well-being. This study aims to analyze the influence of Bumble usage on deviant behavior among teenagers at Universitas Medan Area using a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews. The findings indicate that, besides being used to find romantic partners, Bumble is also utilized for entertainment and expanding social networks. However, several forms of deviant behavior were identified, including identity manipulation, emotional exploitation, and an increased risk of casual relationships. Additionally, excessive reliance on online communication may reduce face-to-face social interaction skills. These findings highlight the importance of digital literacy and stricter policies from app developers to minimize negative impacts. This study contributes to the fields of communication and sociology while providing insights for educators, parents, and app developers in understanding the dynamics of teenage social interactions in the digital era.

Abstract

The social media phenomenon has transformed the way humans communicate. Algorithms, inherent in each platform, play a crucial role in shaping the information users receive, often prioritizing content that triggers emotional responses. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of communication in the social media era through the diverse interactions between language, emotion, and algorithms. Using a descriptive narrative literature review approach, this study examines how language evolves on social media, the role of emotion in content virality, and how algorithms reinforce emotional polarization. The results show that language on social media tends to be more concise, visual, and emotionally expressive, with a predominant use of emojis, abbreviations, and hyperbolic style. Emotions, particularly strong ones such as anger or emotion, have been shown to be key drivers of content virality, which are then amplified by algorithms to increase user engagement. This interaction creates a cycle in which algorithms select emotional language, generate viral content, and in turn, encourage users to imitate that communication style, forming a new digital communication culture. The conclusion of this study is that language, emotion, and algorithms mutually reinforce each other in shaping the way digital communication is perceived, with significant implications for digital literacy and communication ethics. Therefore, the development of more ethical and socially conscious algorithms is necessary to create a healthier digital space.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of political figures on the victory of the Golongan Karya (Golkar) Party in the 2024 Legislative Election in North Sumatra Province. The research focuses on the role of Musa Rajekshah (Bang Ijeck) as Chairman of the North Sumatra Golkar Regional Leadership Council (DPD), who is considered successful in mobilizing public support through social capital, a positive public image, and effective political communication strategies. The research employed a quantitative method with a multiple linear regression approach, involving 400 respondents selected through a multistage stratified purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed through validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests, followed by hypothesis testing. The results indicate that political figures have a positive and significant influence on voting decisions, with a coefficient value of 0.414, a t-value of 8.861, a significance level of 0.000, and a contribution of 61% (R²=0.610). These findings confirm that local political figures can be a key factor in winning elections, even without the support of national figures or the dominance of money politics practices. The practical implication of this study is the importance for political parties to maintain and develop the image of figures with integrity, capacity, and emotional closeness to the community, accompanied by adaptive communication strategies for various voter segments.

Abstract

Background: The development of social media as a digital public space has changed the way individuals express opinions, including in the form of criticism. However, not all criticisms submitted meet the rules of communication ethics, thus giving rise to the phenomenon of offensive and unconstructive comments. Aims: This study aims to find out how Communication Science students of the University of Medan Area perceive the ethics of criticism on Instagram social media, especially on @Medantalk accounts which are often a public discussion space. Methods: This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with interview and observation methods. Informants were selected by purposive sampling from active students who use Instagram. The data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive analysis techniques. Result: The results of the study show that most students have a negative perception of the practice of criticism on social media today. They assessed that many comments were not delivered politely, were not objective, and often contained hate speech. Conclusion: This perception shows the need to increase ethics-based digital literacy among students. In addition, learning digital communication ethics needs to be strengthened so that social media can become a healthy and constructive space for criticism.
