Abstract

The development of online media in the digital era has driven significant changes in journalistic practices, including the use of journalistic language. This study aims to describe and analyze the implementation of journalistic language in the writing of soft news articles on the Tribunnews Bogor website. The research approach employed is qualitative, using an analytical method based on Sumadirian's (2016) theory, which emphasizes simplicity, accuracy, word economy, and emotional appeal. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with journalists who also serve as editors at Tribunnews Bogor, as well as through non-participatory observation. The results of the study show that the soft news writing process at Tribunnews Bogor is carried out systematically, starting from the selection of topics that contain elements of human interest, novelty, and proximity, to the presentation of news in a narrative style. The use of journalistic language is reflected in simple, straightforward, and efficient sentence structures, as well as in the selection of communicative and easily understood diction. In addition, the application of the journalistic elements of 5W+1H, the use of direct quotations, and the choice of a human-centered perspective are key characteristics of soft news writing in Tribunnews Bogor. Key words: Journalistic Language, Soft News, Tribunnews Bogor

Abstract

This study examines how followers derive meaning from religious influencer content and its significance in their daily lives. The research aims to identify the role of religious influencers in shaping religious practices and follower behavior. The subjects of this study are followers of religious influencers on social media, with data collection conducted through in-depth interviews and content analysis. The results indicate that religious influencers, such as Ustaz Hanan Attaki, serve as modern conduits for religious teachings, leading to the formation of new religious practices among their followers. Despite their substantial influence, the appeal of merchandise associated with these influencers remains limited. It can be concluded that religious influencers have a significant impact on shaping religious understanding and practices among their followers.

Abstract

Purpose: This study explores the underlying motivations of male digital users in Indonesia for using social media platforms, particularly focusing on the interplay between entertainment, religious learning, social connection, information-seeking, and self-expression. The research aims to understand how cultural and religious contexts influence digital engagement among this demographic group. Methodology/approach: A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed, involving in-depth interviews with 25 male social media users aged 18–30. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically using an inductive method. Techniques such as member checking and peer debriefing were applied to enhance credibility. Results/findings: The findings reveal five overlapping motivations: (1) entertainment as emotional regulation and habit-forming behavior; (2) religious learning as spiritual reinforcement and identity expression; (3) social connection through online brotherhood and niche communities; (4) information-seeking driven by curiosity and personal growth; and (5) self-expression as a means of moral signaling and personal branding. These motivations are mediated by gender norms, religious values, and platform affordances. Conclusions: Male digital users strategically utilize social media to fulfill emotional, spiritual, social, intellectual, and expressive needs. This behavior highlights the integration of technology with masculine identity and Islamic values in a digital context. Limitations: The study is limited to urban settings in Java and focuses on a specific age group. It does not include platform usage logs or cross-platform comparisons. Contribution: This research contributes to media and communication studies by offering a culturally grounded understanding of male digital behavior, expanding on Uses and Gratifications Theory (UGT), Self-Determination Theory (SDT), and Social Identity Theory (SIT) in non-Western contexts.
