The six strategies are efforts to increase a positive image in society. However, the communication strategy implemented by the North Sumatra Province Communication and Information Service is still not effective enough to enhance a positive image. Some of the problems faced are budget constraints, professionalism and limited human resources, the function of the e-Government Service Division as manager of the @pemprovsumut Instagram admin which is not yet optimal, the competence of the leadership and members in understanding communication on social media is not yet good, and the lack of coordination and synergy between the e-Government Service Sector and the Public Information Management Sector in terms of providing up to date information.

Abstract

Innovation communication is an approach in development communication that aims to introduce an innovation to the community so that it creates a certain effect as something useful. One of the innovations created by the government is sorghum bioguma as an alternative commodity for the purpose of food diversification. This study aims to analyze the innovation communication model of sorghum bioguma; analyze the innovation communication channels of sorghum bioguma; and analyzing the adoption behavior of sorghum bioguma in Pasar VI Kwala Mencirim village, Sei Bingai sub-district, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra. The informants in this study were the Balai Pengkajian Teknologi Pertanian Sumatera Utara (BPTP Sumut) and farmers in Pasar VI Kwala Mencirim village. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. The theory used is Everett M Rogers' diffusion of innovation and Ban and Hawkins' Agricultural Extension. Data collection techniques were carried out by interviews, observation and documentation. The results of the study indicated: Communication of sorghum bioguma innovations carried out by BPTP Sumut through four activities namely carrying out coordination, involving farmer groups, making demonstration plots, and carrying out technical guidance. These four activities are a model of a centralized diffusion system, which means the spread of innovation is carried out linearly from the central government to farmers; The innovation communication channels used by BPTP Sumut are interpersonal, group, audio-visual, and social media communication channels. Interpersonal communication is the most effective channel in changing farmers' attitudes; Farmers in Pasar VI Kwala Mencirim adopt unsustainable. This decision was included in the type of active rejection, which means that the farmers had tried the sorghum bioguma innovation but then decided not to adopt it because there was no economic advantage.ABSTRAK Komunikasi inovasi merupakan satu pendekatan dalam komunikasi pembangunan yang bertujuan untuk mengenalkan suatu inovasi kepada masyarakat hingga menimbulkan efek tertentu sebagai sesuatu yang bermanfaat. Salah satu inovasi yang diciptakan pemerintah adalah sorgum bioguma sebagai komoditas alternatif untuk tujuan diversifikasi pangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis model komunikasi inovasi sorgum bioguma; menganalisis saluran komunikasi inovasi sorgum bioguma; dan menganalisis perilaku adopsi sorgum bioguma di desa Pasar VI Kwala Mencirim kecamatan Sei Bingai Kabupaten Langkat Sumatera Utara. Informan pada penelitian ini adalah Balai Pengkajian Teknologi Pertanian Sumatera Utara dan petani di desa Pasar VI Kwala Mencirim. Penelitian dilakukan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif. Teori yang digunakan adalah difusi inovasi milik Everett M Rogers dan Penyuluhan Pertanian milik Ban dan Hawkins. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menujukan: Komunikasi inovasi sorgum bioguma yang dilakukan BPTP Sumut melalui empat kegiatan yakni melaksanakan koordinasi, melibatkan kelompok tani, membuat demonstrasi plot, dan melaksanakan bimbingan teknis. Empat kegiatan tersebut merupakan model centralized diffusion system atau sistem difusi tersentralisasi yang berarti penyebaran inovasi dilakukan secara linear dari pemerintah pusat kepada petani; Saluran komunikasi inovasi yang digunakan BPTP Sumut adalah saluran komunikasi interpersonal, kelompok, audio visual, dan media sosial. Dari empat saluran tersebut, komunikasi interpersonal menjadi saluran yang paling efektif dalam mengubah sikap petani; Petani di desa Pasar VI Kwala Mencirim melakukan adopsi tidak berkelanjutan. Keputusan tersebut masuk dalam jenis penolakan aktif (active rejection) yang artinya petani telah mencoba inovasi sorgum bioguma tapi kemudian memutuskan untuk tidak mengadopsi karena tidak adanya keuntungan secara ekonomi.

Abstract

This study examines Restorasi Indonesia as a political vision articulated through the political communication strategy of Surya Paloh in the digital era, in response to the increasing mediatization of political discourse within Indonesia’s contemporary democratic landscape. The research addresses how the vision of national restoration is constructed, disseminated, and transformed through digital political communication practices to influence public perception and political engagement. Employing a qualitative approach, this study utilizes discourse analysis to investigate Surya Paloh’s communication strategies across digital platforms, including speeches, social media narratives, and mediated political messaging. The findings indicate that the articulation of Restorasi Indonesia operates not merely as an ideological construct but as a communicative framework that adapts to the dynamics of digital media through symbolic narratives, strategic framing, and audience-oriented messaging. This transformation reflects a shift from conventional political mobilization toward digitally mediated persuasion, enabling the political vision to maintain relevance in a rapidly evolving information ecosystem. The study argues that the effectiveness of Restorasi Indonesia as a political vision is closely linked to its communicative adaptability, where strategic digital engagement becomes central to shaping political legitimacy and sustaining ideological resonance in the public sphere.
