Abstract

This study aims to reveal how reflection on empowering civic communities serves as a forum for strengthening civic engagement, particularly in the realms of political voice and civic activity. Civic engagement is a significant aspect of the discourse on cultivating smart and good citizen, especially given the technological advances that can optimize widely recognized and accessible digital platforms. This study employs a phenomenological method with a qualitative approach to explore the reflections of civic communities on enhancing civic engagement. Data collection involves interviews and documentation studies, with data analysis conducted using Atlas.ti. The results indicate that strengthening civic engagement through civic communities is grounded in the community's vision and movement patterns, particularly by leveraging digital platforms. For instance, the Bareng Warga Community uses change.org to conduct online petitions as a form of political voice, while the Nusa Bumi Lestari Community utilizes kitabisa.com for crowdfunding as a form of civic activity. Additionally, the collaboration and networking among civic communities play a crucial role in reinforcing civic engagement, enabling citizens to be dedicated and committed to achieving the common good.

Abstract

This research focuses on the phenomenon of student political literacy formed through the consumption of digital content, particularly those published by the NarasiNewsroom account on the X platform (formerly Twitter). In this context, political literacy is interpreted through three main dimensions: political awareness, political knowledge, and political participation. The study employs a qualitative approach with a case study method conducted at the Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI). Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies, which were subsequently analyzed using NVivo 15 software for qualitative data analysis. The findings reveal that NarasiNewsroom plays a significant role in shaping students’ political awareness and knowledge through information dissemination strategies that are trend-sensitive, data-driven, and communicative in nature. The content produced is effective in attracting student attention, sparking digital dialogue, and fostering critical thinking related to political issues. Nevertheless, while the content contributes to increased awareness and understanding, its influence on actual political participation remains limited. Many students remain passive, particularly in real-world political engagement outside of social media platforms. This limitation is attributed to external factors such as the academic environment’s lack of encouragement for political expression and the absence of formal political education spaces within the campus setting. Therefore, while NarasiNewsroom has proven to be a strategic digital actor in building the foundation of political literacy among the youth, the study underscores the necessity for collaborative efforts between digital media, educational institutions, and the broader social environment to cultivate a holistic and sustainable political literacy ecosystem for future generations.

Abstract

This study investigates the development of digital populism in political communication research through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and a bibliometric analysis of the Scopus database. Using the PRISMA screening framework, 18 relevant journal articles published between 2015 and 2025 were identified, suggesting that although research in this field remains limited, it has shown a notable increase, particularly after 2021. The findings indicate that the concept of digital populism has evolved from an initial focus on online activism and networked resistance to a more comprehensive framework that explains how populist messages are strategically created, distributed, and amplified through digital platforms and their underlying logics. Bibliometric mapping reveals key thematic clusters of digital populism, nationalism, and populism, with discourse analysis as the dominant methodological approach. Furthermore, the synthesis highlights five defining characteristics of digital populism: people-centrism, emotional communication, political visualisation, virality, and direct participation. Despite these insights, the literature remains heavily concentrated in Western contexts, with limited contributions from Asia and the Global South. Accordingly, future studies should broaden data sources and pursue comparative research across diverse sociopolitical contexts to enhance theoretical and empirical understanding.

Abstract

In an era in which information flows freely across countless digital channels, understanding how mass media shapes young people's political consciousness has become increasingly vital. This study explores the intricate relationship between mass media—both traditional and digital—and political education among the youth, drawing from democratic theory and media literacy frameworks. Through a comprehensive examination of existing literature, we uncover a fascinating paradox: while today's young generation enjoys unprecedented access to political information and opportunities for civic discourse, they simultaneously face formidable challenges, including media manipulation, echo chambers, and a concerning erosion of trust in news institutions. Our findings reveal that the effectiveness of mass media as an educational tool is not straightforward. Rather, it is mediated by critical factors such as media literacy skills, socioeconomic contexts, and the quality of democratic institutions within which young people operate. In contexts where Indonesian youth navigate their political identities—from bustling cities to remote villages—these dynamics play out in unique ways that deserve careful attention. This research makes a compelling case that effective political education in the digital age requires more than just access to information. It demands integrated approaches that combine formal education, robust media literacy programs, and collaborative efforts among media organisations, educational institutions, and civic groups. The goal is not merely to create informed citizens, but to nurture a generation of young people who can think critically meaningfully in democratic life. As we stand at this critical juncture, the choices we make today about media systems, education, and democratic culture will shape the quality of citizenship for generations to come.
