Abstract

This study examines the role of the Cirebon Police Public Relations Department in building public trust through the use of social media, particularly Instagram, as a means of public communication in the digital era. The research background is based on the importance of public trust in the police institution in carrying out its duties. Using the communication management theory of Cultip, Centre, and Broom, this study examines four stages of communication: problem identification, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with data collected through observation, documentation, and interviews, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The results show that the Cirebon Police Public Relations Department consistently utilizes Instagram as a two-way interactive medium to convey information, educate the public, correct hoaxes, and build a positive image. Content such as the "Friday Curhat" program, morning roll call, and night patrols serve as strategic tools for creating transparency, participation, and emotional closeness with the community. Public sentiment analysis showed a majority of responses were positive (80%), neutral (20%), and no negative comments, indicating the success of this communication strategy in strengthening public trust. This research confirms that integrating social media with communication management strategies can support the effectiveness of police duties and enhance the institution's legitimacy in the eyes of the public.

Abstract

Press freedom, as a pillar of democracy, continues to face serious threats through practices of intimidation against journalists, both physical and digital. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to examine academic literature and reports from international institutions for the period 2021–2025 regarding the forms of threats, impacts, and strategies for protecting journalists. The study results show that intimidation occurs in the form of physical threats, symbolic terror, and digital attacks such as doxing, sexual harassment, online mobs, and hacking. These threats result in psychological trauma, self-censorship, and a decline in the quality of investigative reporting, thus eroding press freedom and, consequently, democracy. Collective coping strategies in newsrooms have proven helpful, while technological innovations based on automated detection offer preventative measures, although they still require transparency and strong regulations. In the Indonesian context, journalists face a combination of physical, digital, and symbolic threats, highlighting the high vulnerability of independent media. Thus, multidimensional protection through strong legal regulations, collective solidarity, and technological support is needed to enable the press to fulfill its function as a pillar of democracy.
