Abstract

In the digital era, mass media not only conveys information but also shapes public opinion through word choice, language style, and news construction. In the entertainment sector, this role is particularly strong as media also influence celebrities’ public image. This study examines how Detik.com constructs the image of South Korean actors in its entertainment section, focusing on Kim Soo Hyun and the late Kim Sae Ron, using Van Dijk’s critical discourse analysis alongside concepts of mass communication, media construction, and public figure image. Through a qualitative approach, the research describes the process of image formation through text structure, journalists’ social cognition, and the digital social context. Findings show that Detik.com produces news in a circular manner by repeating narratives, reactivating prior contexts, and using hyperlinks, so that an actor’s image emerges from the overall text series. Journalist’s social cognition, including ideology, experience, popular culture knowledge, and fanbase connections, influences news writing. Digital contexts such as issue virality, public moral sensitivity, and shifting knowledge authority lead media to cite unofficial sources. The study also identifies gender bias, with female figures bearing greater moral responsibility. Overall, media do not merely inform but actively shape actors’ images and public meaning.

Abstract

Music functions not only as a form of entertainment but also as a symbolic medium through which emotional messages are communicated and individuals’ self-understanding is shaped. One prominent theme in contemporary popular music is self-love, as exemplified in Answer: Love Myself by BTS. This study aims to explore how BTS fans, known as ARMY, interpret and internalize the self-love message conveyed in the song’s lyrics. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the study examines the subjective experiences of six active BTS fans. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and complemented by expert insights from a psychologist to enrich the interpretive analysis. The findings reveal that the interpretation of the song’s self-love message is shaped by participants’ cognitive schemas, prior emotional experiences, and the social support they receive from the ARMY community. The lyrics are perceived as affirming, emotionally warm, non-patronizing, and accepting, thereby reducing listeners’ psychological defensiveness and enabling deeper emotional engagement. The process of internalization occurs through self-reflection, heightened self-awareness, and the integration of the song’s meaning into individuals’ self-concept. This study underscores the significant role of music as an effective symbolic and emotional medium in fostering self-love and emotional resilience among adolescents and young adults. It further contributes to broader discussions on the communicative and therapeutic potential of popular music in supporting psychological well-being and identity development. Musik berperan sebagai medium simbolik yang mampu menyampaikan pesan emosional dan membentuk pemaknaan individu terhadap diri sendiri. Salah satu pesan yang menonjol dalam musik populer adalah self-love, seperti yang terdapat dalam lagu “Answer: Love Myself” oleh BTS. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami bagaimana penggemar BTS, yang dikenal sebagai ARMY, memaknai pesan self-love yang disampaikan dalam lirik lagu tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif fenomenologi dengan melibatkan enam informan yang merupakan penggemar BTS aktif. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dan diperkuat dengan analisis narasumber ahli dari seorang psikolog. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemaknaan pesan self-love dipengaruhi oleh skema kognitif, pengalaman emosional masa lalu, serta dukungan sosial dari komunitas ARMY. Lirik lagu dipersepsikan sebagai pesan yang positif, hangat, tidak menggurui, dan menerima, sehingga membantu menurunkan mekanisme defensif pendengarnya. Pesan tersebut kemudian diinternalisasi melalui refleksi diri, peningkatan kesadaran diri, serta integrasi makna ke dalam konsep diri individu. Studi ini menegaskan peran musik sebagai medium efektif dalam memfasilitasi pengembangan self-love pada remaja dan dewasa muda.

Abstract

The development of social media has created new ways for audiences to interpret the image of women, particularly through content presented by public figures. Cinta Laura, as a prominent public figure, consistently delivers inspirational content on Instagram and YouTube that represents strong women. This study aims to explore and describe how audiences interpret Cinta Laura's strong female image across these platforms. Drawing on Stuart Hall’s audience reception theory, concepts of representation, image, and digital communication, the study emphasizes the active role of audiences in constructing the meanings of media messages. A qualitative descriptive approach using a phenomenological method was employed to examine audiences’ subjective experiences and interpretations, with data collected through in-depth interviews with six followers of the Instagram account @claurakiehl and subscribers to the YouTube channel Puella. Findings indicate that audiences interpret Cinta Laura’s strong female image through three positions of meaning: dominant, negotiated, and oppositional readings. Audiences perceive Cinta Laura as intelligent, independent, and principled, while also adjusting these meanings in light of personal experiences and social contexts. Some content is considered overly idealistic, highlighting that interpretations of a strong female image are subjective, dynamic, and influenced by audience backgrounds. Perkembangan media sosial telah menciptakan cara baru bagi audiens untuk memahami citra perempuan, terutama melalui konten yang disajikan oleh figur publik. Cinta Laura, sebagai salah satu figur publik, secara konsisten menyajikan konten inspiratif di Instagram dan YouTube yang merepresentasikan perempuan tangguh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi dan mendeskripsikan bagaimana audiens menafsirkan citra perempuan tangguh yang ditampilkan oleh Cinta Laura melalui kedua platform tersebut. Mengacu pada teori audience reception Stuart Hall, konsep representasi, citra, dan komunikasi digital, penelitian ini menekankan peran aktif audiens dalam membentuk makna pesan media. Pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan metode fenomenologi digunakan untuk menggali pengalaman dan pemaknaan subjektif audiens, dengan data yang dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam terhadap enam pengikut Instagram @claurakiehl dan subscriber YouTube Puella. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa audiens menafsirkan citra perempuan tangguh Cinta Laura melalui tiga posisi pemaknaan, yakni dominant, negotiated, dan oppositional reading. Audiens melihat Cinta Laura sebagai sosok cerdas, mandiri, dan berprinsip, tetapi juga menyesuaikan makna tersebut dengan pengalaman pribadi dan konteks sosial masing-masing. Beberapa konten dianggap terlalu idealis, menegaskan bahwa pemaknaan citra perempuan tangguh bersifat subjektif, dinamis, dan dipengaruhi oleh latar belakang audiens.

Abstract

The development of digital media has encouraged Generation Z to utilize various communication platforms as a means of self-disclosure and privacy management in their interactions. This study aims to understand how Generation Z engages in self-disclosure through Instagram Close Friends and WhatsApp Groups, as well as the reasons behind their preference for these two media. This study uses the theoretical foundations of Computer Mediated Communication (CMC), Communication Privacy Management (CPM), and Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) to analyze individuals' considerations in choosing digital communication media. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, with data collection through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation of seven main informants and one expert informant. The results show that the choice of communication media is not random, but is influenced by communication goals, perceptions of privacy security, feature characteristics, and norms of use within the group. Instagram Close Friends is used to selectively share personal stories without the demand for a response, while WhatsApp Group is used for quick two-way conversations, discussions, and direct emotional support. These findings confirm that the compatibility between the nature of the message and the capabilities of the medium is a major factor in Generation Z's self-disclosure preferences. Perkembangan media digital mendorong Generasi Z untuk memanfaatkan berbagai platform komunikasi sebagai sarana self-disclosure sekaligus pengelolaan privasi dalam berinteraksi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami bagaimana Generasi Z melakukan self-disclosure melalui fitur Instagram Close Friends dan WhatsApp Group serta alasan yang melatarbelakangi preferensi terhadap kedua media tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan landasan teori Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC), Communication Privacy Management (CPM), dan Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) untuk menganalisis pertimbangan individu dalam memilih media komunikasi digital. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan metode fenomenologi. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan dokumentasi terhadap tujuh informan utama serta satu informan ahli. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemilihan media komunikasi tidak bersifat acak, melainkan dipengaruhi oleh tujuan komunikasi, persepsi terhadap keamanan privasi, karakteristik fitur, serta norma penggunaan dalam kelompok. Instagram Close Friends dimanfaatkan untuk membagikan cerita personal secara selektif tanpa tuntutan respons langsung, sementara WhatsApp Group digunakan untuk percakapan dua arah yang cepat, diskusi, serta dukungan emosional secara langsung. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa kecocokan antara karakteristik pesan dan kemampuan media menjadi faktor utama dalam preferensi self-disclosure Generasi Z.

Self-identity is a concept of self-recognition, seeking purpose, and upholding personal values and beliefs. Self-identity is fundamental in the formation of identity, particularly during the teenage years. The teenage stage is a developmental period marked by instability in the search for identity. Teenagers absorb various sources and information from the internet, such as Korean dramas. This study aims to analyze the formation of teenage self-identity through Korean dramas using symbolic interaction theory as the primary framework. The research employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. The findings indicate that understanding the messages in the Korean drama Love Next Door through its narrative and character interactions has the potential to foster self-confidence, openness in communication, empathy, and flexibility among teenagers in planning their future and shaping their self-identity. This is evident in how teenagers comprehend the drama's messages and apply them in daily life, including decision-making and building social relationships in society.

Abstract

The family is the primary space for shaping social roles, including the position of the firstborn, which in many Indonesian cultures is often understood as the bearer of the greatest responsibility. Representations of this role frequently appear in mass media, including films. This study aims to examine how the firstborn as the pillar of the family is represented in the film Bila Esok Ibu Tiada using Roland Barthes’ semiotic analysis. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with Barthes’ semiotic textual analysis. The concepts and theories used include film as a mass communication medium, representation, and social roles. The findings show that the film represents the firstborn as a central figure who holds leadership responsibilities, makes decisions, and maintains family stability. The film also portrays the firstborn’s sacrifices as a form of devotion aligned with Indonesian cultural values that place collective interests above individual needs. In addition, the film reveals unequal distribution of roles and the social and emotional pressures that are often overlooked. Thus, these representations reflect dominant cultural constructions within Indonesian society rather than universal social realities.     Keluarga merupakan ruang utama dalam pembentukan peran sosial, termasuk posisi anak sulung yang dalam sebagian budaya Indonesia sering dipahami sebagai pemegang tanggung jawab terbesar. Representasi mengenai peran tersebut beberapa kali muncul dalam media massa, salah satunya film. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui bagaimana anak sulung sebagai pilar keluarga direpresentasikan dalam film Bila Esok Ibu Tiada dengan analisis semiotika Roland Barthes. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan metode analisis teks yaitu semiotika Roland Barthes. Konsep dan teori yang digunakan adalah film sebagai media massa, representasi, dan peran sosial. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa film merepresentasikan anak sulung sebagai figur sentral yang memegang peran kepemimpinan, pengambil keputusan, dan penjaga stabilitas keluarga. Film juga merepresentasikan pengorbanan anak sulung sebagai bentuk pengabdian yang selaras dengan nilai budaya Indonesia yang menempatkan kepentingan bersama di atas kepentingan pribadi. Selain itu, tampak ketidakadilan pembagian peran serta tekanan sosial dan emosional yang sering tidak disadari. Dengan demikian, representasi tersebut mencerminkan konstruksi budaya yang dominan di masyarakat Indonesia, daripada realitas sosial secara keseluruhan.

Abstract

Online dating among Generation Z shows that many relationships begin in virtual spaces, yet their continuation depends on interpersonal relationship quality and trust. This study describes interpersonal relationship development and trust-building processes within the relationship dynamics of Generation Z Bumble users. It draws on DeVito and Knapp’s stages of interpersonal relationship development and Octaviolan and Ardi’s concepts of virtual communication and trust-building stages. Using a qualitative case study approach, the findings indicate that relationships typically progress from light conversations that create positive emotions to routine communication, moving to other platforms, increased self-disclosure, and face-to-face meetings. However, relationships may decline when expectations do not align with real experiences. Trust is built through identity verification, consistent communication, and direct interaction, but can easily collapse when dishonesty or mismatches in self-presentation occur. Relationship dynamics are often fluctuating connections may strengthen quickly yet also loosen rapidly due to the availability of alternative partners. Overall, interpersonal relationships and trust building act as the central drivers of relationship dynamics on Bumble, shaping the direction, intensity, and sustainability of relationships, whether they develop, stagnate, or end. Fenomena penggunaan aplikasi online dating di kalangan Generasi Z menunjukkan bahwa banyak hubungan dimulai di ruang virtual, namun keberlanjutannya tergantung pada kualitas relasi interpersonal dan kepercayaan yang terbangun. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan relasi interpersonal dan proses trust building dalam dinamika hubungan Generasi Z pengguna Bumble. Penelitian menggunakan konsep tahapan perkembangan relasi interpersonal menurut DeVito dan Knapp, serta konsep komunikasi virtual dan tahapan trust building Octaviolan dan Ardi sebagai landasan teoritis. Peneliti menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa relasi interpersonal berkembang dari obrolan ringan yang memunculkan emosi positif, berlanjut pada komunikasi rutin, perpindahan platform, peningkatan keterbukaan diri, hingga pertemuan tatap muka, lalu dapat menurun ketika ekspektasi tidak sesuai kenyataan. Trust building dibangun melalui verifikasi identitas, konsistensi komunikasi, dan pengalaman interaksi langsung, namun mudah runtuh ketika muncul kebohongan atau ketidaksesuaian citra diri. Dinamika hubungan tampak fluktuatif, cepat menguat namun juga cepat merenggang karena banyaknya alternatif pasangan. Secara keseluruhan, relasi interpersonal dan trust building menjadi poros utama yang menggerakkan dinamika hubungan di Bumble karena keduanya menentukan arah, intensitas, serta keberlanjutan hubungan, baik itu berkembang, stagnan, atau berakhir.
