Abstract

This study examines how algorithm-based dialogic communication operates in TikTok Live as a form of digital religious service at the Bulukerto Office of Religious Affairs (KUA). The research aims to analyze interaction patterns, the role of algorithmic mediation, and the adaptation of dialogic communication principles in platform-based environments. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with the TikTok Live host and non-participant observation of five live sessions. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring interaction structures. The findings reveal that communication does not occur randomly but follows a structured pattern consisting of three interconnected mechanisms: responsiveness, amplification, and selectivity. Responsiveness enables real-time interaction, amplification increases visibility through engagement signals, and selectivity filters which interactions receive attention. These mechanisms form an iterative communication system shaped by both human agency and algorithmic governance. This study contributes to the development of communication theory by integrating dialogic communication with algorithmic mediation into a conceptual model. Practically, the findings provide insights for public institutions in optimizing digital religious services within algorithm-driven platforms.

Abstract

This article examines the workings of symbolic power in local political communication in rural Indonesia, based on an ethnographic study in Bojonegoro Regency, East Java. Using Pierre Bourdieu’s framework of field, habitus, and forms of capital, economic, social, and cultural, the study explores how local actors accumulate and convert symbolic capital to sustain political legitimacy. Data were obtained through interviews, participant observation, and media discourse analysis, and thematically coded with NVIVO software. The findings show that social capital rooted in kinship and community networks, cultural capital expressed through religious knowledge and ritual participation, and economic capital manifested in patronage practices collectively shape perceptions of authority. Media platforms, both traditional and digital, reproduce these symbolic hierarchies by amplifying elite narratives and constraining alternative voices. The study contributes to the understanding of post-authoritarian democracy in Indonesia by revealing how symbolic power continues to structure political legitimacy beyond formal institutions. It argues for a more culturally embedded approach to democratic participation attentive to the interplay between communication, capital, and power.
