Abstract

This article reviews the debate and impact of Halle Bailey's selection as Ariel in the live-action film "The Little Mermaid" (2023) on racial representation and inclusivity in the Hollywood film industry. Motivated by the growing attention to the representation of minority groups in mass media, this analysis explores the hegemony of white culture and the way racial representation is manifested in film production. Based on Antonio Gramsci's theory of hegemony and the concept of representation, this study explores the public response to Bailey's casting, as well as its impact on traditional narratives and attempts to deconstruct existing power structures. Through an approach to cultural studies and racial-critical theory, this article aims to provide a deeper understanding of the dynamics of power and representation in mass media and highlight steps towards a more inclusive and equitable film industry. In conclusion, the selection of Halle Bailey as Ariel not only marks an important step in stimulating discussion about diversity in popular culture, but also a concrete step towards a more inclusive and representative film industry.

Abstract

Indonesia is a country with a high level of disaster vulnerability due to its geographical and geological conditions, making disaster communication a crucial factor in disaster risk reduction. The development of digital media has transformed disaster communication practices by enabling rapid information dissemination, wide reach, and interactive communication. However, these advantages are not always accompanied by accurate and consistent message management, which may lead to misinformation, public panic, and poor decision-making. This article aims to analyze the role of digital media in disaster communication, identify key challenges in digital disaster communication, and propose directions for developing more effective and trust-based communication strategies. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach through literature review, analysis of disaster-related documents, and case studies in Palu–Donggala, Lombok, and coastal Aceh. The findings indicate that weak coordination among communication actors, inconsistent official messaging, low public media literacy, and the dominance of informal information sources in digital spaces are the main factors undermining the effectiveness of disaster communication. These results highlight the need to manage

Abstract

The post-truth era is characterized by the erosion of the role of facts in shaping public opinion, which is increasingly replaced by personal emotions and beliefs. The younger generation, as the dominant users of social media, faces serious challenges in sorting out accurate information amid the dominance of emotional content, algorithms that create echo chambers, and digital social pressures. This study employs a descriptive-qualitative approach based on literature studies to identify the main challenges faced by the younger generation and formulate strategies to improve information literacy. The study's results show that low media literacy, digital fatigue, a crisis of trust in institutions, and the weak integration of media literacy in formal education all contribute to increased vulnerability to disinformation. Therefore, a systemic approach is needed through the collaboration of various parties to form a healthy information ecosystem and strengthen the resilience of the digital generation to information manipulation.
