Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic disrupted the operational stability of businesses across sectors, forcing Public Relations Officers (PROs) to adapt and innovate rapidly to sustain organizational resilience. This study investigates PRO behavior within organizations ranging from micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to national-level institutions, focusing on how communication practitioners navigated crisis-induced uncertainty. Informants were purposively selected PROs who directly managed organizational communication during the pandemic, and data were gathered through in-depth interviews conducted between 2021 and 2022. The urgency of this study lies in the limited empirical documentation of PRO behavioral patterns across organizational scales during COVID-19, despite the pandemic serving as a stress test for crisis communication capacity. Using a postpositivist paradigm and qualitative case study approach, this research employed the Kübler-Ross Change Curve as an analytical indicator to map adaptive and innovative responses. Findings reveal seven behavioral phases: shock, denial, frustration, depression, experiment, innovation decision, and integration; supported by five strategic endeavors: alignment building, communication enhancement, motivation ignition, capability development, and knowledge sharing. The study offers conceptual novelty through the proposed 5C Formula for Adaptation and Innovation, in which changing the paradigm and creating new habits represent adaptive stages. At the same time, creative approaches, channel optimization, and collaborative agreements constitute the innovation stages. This formula contributes an integrative framework for understanding PRO crisis behavior and offers practical guidance for future organizational communication strategies in prolonged disruptive conditions.

Abstract

The Directorate General of Marine and Fisheries Resources Surveillance (Direktorat Jenderal Pengawasan Sumber Daya Kelautan dan Perikanan [PSDKP]) implements the Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) policy to monitor fishing vessel movements in real time and prevent illegal fishing activities. However, the implementation of this policy has frequently received negative media coverage, ranging from technical issues to complaints from fishing industry stakeholders, potentially affecting public trust in the institution’s credibility. This study aims to examine the media relations strategy of the Directorate General of PSDKP in responding to negative media coverage related to the Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) policy. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Based on the Excellence Theory perspective, the findings indicate that the Directorate General of PSDKP implemented a media relations strategy through relationship management, strategy development, and network building. In addition, to support its media relations strategy, the Directorate General of PSDKP utilized an owned-media publication strategy through infographic content published on the organization’s official website. However, in its implementation, the organization needs to develop more targeted activities to strengthen media engagement and stakeholder involvement.

Tari Nandak Kang Nong merupakan salah satu kesenian yang memiliki keterkaitan dengan Kang Nong dan menjadi bagian dari identitas budaya Kota Tangerang. Di tengah perubahan minat masyarakat dan perkembangan media digital, pelestarian tari tradisional memerlukan strategi komunikasi yang tidak hanya mempertahankan keberadaan tarian, tetapi juga memperluas pengenalan dan keterlibatan publik. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi dari pihak yang terlibat dalam promosi pariwisata, Kang Nong, serta masyarakat. Excellence Theory ditempatkan sebagai grand theory untuk melihat fungsi komunikasi dalam membangun hubungan antara organisasi/program dengan publik. Model PENCILS digunakan sebagai middle-range theory untuk menganalisis aktivitas komunikasi melalui Publications, Events, News, Community Involvement, Identity Media, Lobbying and Negotiation, serta Social Responsibility. Konsep pelestarian budaya digunakan sebagai applied theory/konsep pendukung untuk melihat penerapan strategi komunikasi dalam menjaga keberlanjutan Tari Nandak Kang Nong. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Lomba Tari Nandak Kang Nong menjadi ruang komunikasi budaya yang mempertemukan Kang Nong, Tari Nandak Kang Nong, dan masyarakat secara langsung, kemudian diperkuat melalui publikasi digital dan keterlibatan berbagai pihak.
