Abstract

This study aims to map the interconnections between actors, concepts and discourse affiliations in the formation of online media coverage related to Tom Lembong's decision on sugar imports. The DNA method enables relationships to be mapped between actors and discourse claims, thereby revealing the dynamics of the debate and the network structures and affiliations behind the coverage. The analysis covers 25 news articles from five national online media outlets. The findings reveal two dominant, opposing discourse coalitions: supporters and opponents of the decision. Supporters emphasise the narrative of legal violations in the sugar import policy, linking it to principles of justice, price stability and the economy. Opponents emphasise the absence of mens rea and link the decision to legal bias against public policy. The modularity of discourse groups plays an important role in shaping public opinion. Discourse networks generate various discourse clusters and produce other discourses that influence the actor network. The abundance of discourse concepts enables readers to comprehend and interpret news issues. Online media plays a significant role in shaping public perceptions of the issue. This study highlights the importance of expanding the scope of media coverage and the analysis period in order to describe more representative discourse dynamics.

Abstract

The low level of scientific publications in the academic environment is inseparable from limited interests and skills. Efforts are needed to strengthen insight, methodological knowledge, and skills. Students as an integral part in the development of knowledge, are expected to have high interest and motivation in conducting research. So far, the research produced by students has not shown a significant trend. Various causes of problems arise, starting from limitations in formulating ideas, preparing proposals, submitting proposals, determining publications and motivating students to carry out research. It is important for students who are members of the commissariat of the Islamic Student Association of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences of the University of North Sumatra to be given training in strengthening research knowledge and training in organizational development. The objectives of the training activities include; First, strengthening research insights and assisting in strengthening research problems. Second, training on how to prepare research proposals. Third, assistance and guidance in finding trusted sources of publications. Overall, this training was carried out using participatory techniques, participants were actively involved in all stages of training activities. The output of the service recommends that the participants of the activity carry out various research trainings, in order to improve their abilities, and maintain a high motivational rhythm from students in conducting research. Furthermore, coaching and mentoring for the greatest students in student organizations must be carried out on an ongoing basis.
