Abstract

The beginning of this study was seen from the high cases of Covid-19 infection in health workers, especially dentists, WHO issued an appeal for dentists to carry out teledentistry for patients who wish to visit dental health clinics. However, due to the absence of integrated media for teledentistry, dentists use social media as teledentistry media, one of the most frequently used social media is Whatsapp. Whatsapp is a social media that is quite popular in Indonesia, besides this social media is quite easy to use by all social media users. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research method, using the theory of new media. The results of the analysis show that the reason dentists choose Whatsapp because it is easier to use when compared to other social media. The use of Whatsapp is considered very effective because dentists can convey all the information they want to convey to the public, especially their patients.

Abstract

The phenomenon of self-presentation is increasingly trending to reveal, develop identities, manipulate and customise individuals' self-images on social media. University students present themselves on TikTok through video uploads, music, and distributed using TikTok's highly personalised algorithms in group communication: watch history, re-watches, likes, comments, and post-view activity. We present the concept of online impression management through the lens of self-presentation theory as the practice of conveying self-impression and controlling personal information to represent one's self-image to be liked. This study uses a qualitative approach, uses phenomenological methods to find the meaning and interpretation of self-presentation through uploads on TikTok. They expressed personal information to their reference group and experimented based on different roles when constructing identity. Some strategies are used to give a positive impression to their friends. They projected different versions of themselves depending on self-category and group communication context when receiving positive feedback or likes.
