However, some content from this game is known to be inappropriate for children to play. The problem is these types of inappropriate games are actually in great demands and visited by users. Therefore, this study aims to examine and explore how users are commodified on the Roblox online game platform. This study uses constructive paradigm, qualitative methodology, with the case study method. A qualitative approach is used to explain cases of the commodification of users on the Roblox online game platform through observation and in-depth interview techniques. The population of this study is the Roblox online game platform and the types of games contained in it. The results of the research show that Roblox has commodified users. In the Roblox online game platform, users can be categorized from two sides: as audiences or game connoisseurs, and also as workers or creators of the Roblox game itself. In terms of commodification, Roblox turns users into workers with inadequate wages. Users are also used to provide ratings which can then be sold to advertisers. Several types of Roblox online games contain elements of violence, pornography, and blasphemy that are visited by many users. In fact, Roblox is played mostly by children. Based on the results of the study, the researchers suggest that the Roblox online game platform does not commodify users for mere profit. In addition, parents must supervise their children when playing games, provide education, and choose games that are age-appropriate.

Abstract

This study analyzes audience reception of the controversy surrounding the “Laura” movie, which is based on the true story of influencer Laura Anna. The film portrays Laura’s struggle against injustice after experiencing a tragic accident that changed her life. Laura had a free intimate lifestyle with her boyfriend and posted her night parties’ life. However, one night she had an accident when she was coming home with her boyfriend and both of them were drunk. The film sparked various public opinions, both supportive and critical, particularly regarding Laura’s life before the accident. This research uses a descriptive qualitative research approach and Stuart Hall’s reception theory. This study examines how audiences interpret the messages in Laura through three positions: hegemonic dominant, negotiated, and oppositional. Reception analysis is used as a method to describe how the audience receives and interprets media texts. The findings reveal that one audience member falls into the hegemonic dominant position, stating that Laura is an inspirational story and disregarding the controversy. Three participants are in the negotiated position, acknowledging that the film’s message remains clear despite the surrounding controversy. One participant takes an oppositional stance, holding views that contradict the film’s intended message. The audience believes that the film Laura was brought to the big screen merely as an exploitation of tragedy rather than a work conveying the struggle of Laura. The audience thinks that the film is too dramatic and does not provide a clear solution to the issues raised. Keywords: Audience Reception, Stuart Hall, Indonesian Film, “Laura”, Controversy

Pernyataan Presiden Prancis Emmanuel Macron mengenai karikatur Nabi Muhammad SAW telah memicu kemarahan umat Islam, termasuk di Indonesia.

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji praktik hegemoni yang dilakukan oleh Grup Trans Media, yaitu situs media online Detik.com dalam isu boikot produk Prancis, dilihat melalui pendekatan teori ekonomi politik media Vincent Mosco. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi acuan bagi media, khususnya Grup Trans Media dalam menyajikan berita agar lebih berimbang. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah Critical Discourse Analysis model Norman Fairclough. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa praktik penyajian berita di Detik.com menunjukkan representasi ideologi media dengan cara menonjolkan bagian-bagian tentang boikot produk Prancis yang bersinggungan dengan umat Islam. Berita mengenai isu boikot produk Prancis disajikan dengan cara tertentu sehingga menjadi menarik bagi masyarakat Indonesia yang mayoritas beragama Islam.
