Abstract

This study examines how digital media reshape democratic quality in Indonesia by transforming information flows, public opinion formation, civic participation, and government accountability within the digital public sphere. Rather than treating these dimensions separately, this research adopted the concept of democratic quality to capture the broader systemic impact of digital communication on contemporary democracy. This study combined bibliometric and qualitative approaches to provide both a macro-level mapping and an in-depth thematic interpretation. Bibliometric data were collected from the Scopus database covering the period 2020–2025, using PRISMA procedures, resulting in 56 core publications. VOSviewer was used to identify research clusters and intellectual trends, while NVivo 12 Plus supported qualitative thematic analysis. The findings indicate a dominant shift in global research from early concerns with digital participation and public engagement toward growing attention to algorithmic power, disinformation, polarisation, and platform governance. In the Indonesian context, digital media simultaneously expands democratic inclusion through increased participation and transparency, while also weakening deliberative quality due to misinformation, echo chambers, and low digital literacy. This study highlights that platform algorithms and information governance increasingly shape the trajectory of digital democracy. This research contributes to communication studies by offering an integrated framework for understanding how digital media restructure democratic quality in the evolving digital public sphere.

Abstract

This study examines how social media transforms communication patterns in digital society, shifting from traditional interaction to networked, participatory communication. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this research conducts a systematic literature review guided by the PRISMA framework and draws on data from Scopus-indexed publications. NVivo 12 Plus was employed to identify key themes and relationships across the literature. The findings reveal that social media functions not only as a communication tool but as a dynamic communication ecosystem that fosters participation, strengthens social connectivity, and reshapes digital culture. Dominant themes include communication, media, civic engagement, and digital literacy, indicating the growing influence of social media in structuring human interaction. The study also highlights critical challenges, including issues of privacy, ethics, and unequal digital literacy. Overall, this research contributes to the development of digital communication studies by providing a contextual understanding of social media’s role in Indonesia and offering insights for future policy and research on sustainable digital communication ecosystems.
