Abstract

This study aims to analyse the public communication strategies implemented by the Rembang Regency General Elections Commission (KPU) during the implementation of the 2024 General Election Re-voting (PSU). As a corrective mechanism, PSU requires effective communication to maintain public trust and institutional legitimacy. This research employs a descriptive-interpretative qualitative approach, with the leadership of KPU Rembang, including the Chairperson and members as research subjects. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and official document studies, followed by a thematic analysis. The results indicate that KPU Rembang implemented a multi-channel, adaptive, educational, and transparent communication approach. The communication strategy was tailored to audience characteristics, utilising face-to-face interactions, print media, and digital platforms. Human resource preparation through training and polling station (TPS) simulations ensured that messages were delivered consistently and accurately. This approach reflects the principles of media richness, audience-centred communication, crisis communication, and institutional legitimacy, enabling the public to clearly understand the objectives and procedures of the re-voting process. The study also found that strong internal coordination and consistent socialisation materials enhanced communication effectiveness, despite challenges in reaching populations with low political literacy. These findings confirm that KPU’s public communication plays a crucial role in building community understanding, safeguarding public trust, and maintaining the integrity of the re-voting process.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze public perception regarding media coverage of food poisoning cases within the "Free Nutritious Meal" program and its impact on risk perception, trust levels, and public acceptance. Food poisoning issues widely reported across mass media and social media platforms have the potential to shape public views on food safety and the quality of program management. Adopting a quantitative approach with an explanative survey method, data were collected through questionnaires distributed to respondents exposed to related news coverage. Data analysis utilized descriptive statistics and linear regression to examine the relationships between news exposure, risk perception, public trust, and program acceptance. The results indicate that the intensity of news exposure significantly influences the formation of risk perception. Frequent access to information regarding poisoning cases leads to higher levels of concern regarding food safety. Increased risk perception is correlated with a decline in public trust, particularly when media reports emphasize negligence. However, individuals with high pre-existing trust in the government tend to remain supportive of the program, viewing the nutritional benefits as outweighing the reported risks. The findings also reveal that emotional factors and health issues involving children amplify risk perceptions. The media plays a vital role in constructing social reality and influencing the program's image. This study concludes that negative reporting affects not only safety perceptions but also policy legitimacy. Consequently, transparent, responsive, and evidence-based risk communication strategies are essential to maintain public trust and ensure the sustainability of the Free Nutritious Meal program.
