Abstract

This study proposes a conceptual framework to analyze digital crisis communication strategies during large-scale telecommunications service outages, using the 2026 Telkomsel network disruption as an empirical illustration. As societal dependence on digital connectivity intensifies, network failures represent significant organizational crises that threaten corporate reputation and stakeholder trust. By synthesizing Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT) and the Social-Mediated Crisis Communication (SMCC) model, this research identifies the causal mechanisms between crisis response strategies, digital communication, and transparency. In the proposed model, crisis response strategy serves as the independent variable, while digital communication acts as a mediating mechanism that shapes how stakeholders interpret organizational messages. Transparency is positioned as a critical moderating factor that reinforces the relationship between response strategies and stakeholder trust, which ultimately determines long-term corporate reputation. The study develops five propositions suggesting that proactive, transparent, and digitally mediated responses are essential for mitigating reputational damage in a high-velocity digital ecosystem. While providing a strategic roadmap for public relations practitioners in the telecommunications sector, this research also calls for future empirical validation through quantitative and comparative studies to test the robustness of the conceptual links across different industrial and cultural contexts.

Abstract

This study develops a conceptual framework explaining how community relations strategies contribute to building a social license to operate (SLO) through an agroforestry-based community empowerment program implemented by PT Tirta Investama (Danone-Aqua). The rapid growth of Indonesia’s bottled water industry has raised concerns regarding environmental impacts and unequal access to water resources. Consequently, companies in natural resource-based sectors must not only comply with formal regulations but also secure social acceptance from local communities. This study adopts a conceptual approach using a systematic literature review, integrating perspectives from public relations (PR), stakeholder theory, legitimacy theory, and SLO. Data were collected from scientific journals, academic books, institutional reports, and company documents related to community relations and sustainability practices. The analysis employs concept mapping and theoretical synthesis to examine relationships among community engagement, dialogic communication, trust building, social legitimacy, and public acceptance. The findings indicate that community relations strategies emphasizing two-way communication, transparency, and active participation enhance community involvement, strengthen trust, and foster social legitimacy. Agroforestry-based empowerment programs function as collaborative mechanisms that generate shared value for both companies and communities. Thus, community relations serve not only as a communication strategy for reputation building but also as a critical mechanism for obtaining and sustaining SLO, ultimately supporting long-term operational sustainability.

Abstract

The reputational crisis facing multinational corporations in Indonesia following MUI Fatwa No. 83 of 2023 represents a complex ideological challenge. This research analyzes the significant boycott pressures experienced by PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk, triggered by perceived geopolitical affiliations regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict. Utilizing qualitative content analysis grounded in Image Restoration Theory, this study examines how defensive narratives were constructed in official press releases to sustain brand resilience. The findings indicate that Unilever implemented strategic communication patterns centered on localization, specifically emphasizing local ownership, domestic operations, and halal certification. Furthermore, the company utilized transcendence strategies by highlighting its commitment to humanitarian aid in Gaza through official agencies. Theoretically, crisis communication effectiveness in religious markets depends heavily on aligning corporate narratives with the legitimacy of local religious authorities. This article serves as a practical guide for Public Relations practitioners in navigating sociopolitical crises while maintaining corporate legitimacy.

Abstract

The growing demand for authenticity in corporate communication has shifted public relations from organization-centered messaging toward founder-driven narratives that emphasize personal values as strategic organizational assets. This study investigates how founder personal branding strengthens corporate reputation through the alignment of individual and organizational values, using Paragon Corp and its founder, Nurhayati Subakat, as a qualitative case study. Situated within the highly competitive and value-oriented halal cosmetics industry, the research examines how the founder’s values of spirituality, humility, integrity, and care are embedded in the company’s organizational culture and stakeholder engagement practices. The study adopts a qualitative case study design supported by document analysis, public communication materials, and secondary data. The analysis is guided by the Values-Driven Persona framework and Person–Organization Fit (P–O Fit) theory to explain how founder identity is transformed into organizational legitimacy and reputational capital. The findings demonstrate that the alignment between Nurhayati Subakat’s personal values and the “Paragon Way” corporate culture creates a coherent organizational identity that enhances stakeholder trust, brand authenticity, and corporate credibility. This value alignment also functions as a reputational safeguard by reducing stakeholder skepticism and fostering long-term emotional commitment, particularly within collectivist cultural contexts. The study contributes to the literature on founder-led branding by proposing value alignment as a fundamental mechanism linking founder personal branding with sustainable corporate reputation. Future research should validate this conceptual framework across different industries and cultural settings using quantitative and comparative approaches.

Abstract

This study explores the strategic role of public relations (PR) within PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, conceptualizing it as an integral management function that drives market value and corporate resilience. Amidst the rapid digitalization and geopolitical uncertainties of 2025–2026, the research investigates how PR manages the intersection of digital sovereignty, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) integration, and market authority. Utilizing a conceptual research approach through a systematic literature review, this study synthesizes Excellence Theory and Stakeholder Theory to develop an Integrated PR-Management (IPM) model. The findings demonstrate that PR at Telkom acts as a strategic architect by transforming technical infrastructure initiatives such as the launch of the Satelit Merah Putih 2 and decarbonization efforts into authoritative narratives that enhance investor trust and secure regulatory legitimacy. Furthermore, the study highlights that effective PR communication, validated by external accolades like the PR Indonesia Awards, is essential for navigating B2B markets and mitigating reputational risks. The analysis emphasizes that digital reputation is a critical intangible asset, and the alignment of PR Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) with core business metrics is vital for long-term sustainability. The proposed IPM framework offers a roadmap for state-owned enterprises to navigate technological disruptions by bridging technical operational excellence with persuasive strategic communication. Consequently, this research underscores the necessity of reforming traditional siloed communication structures into AI-integrated, fluid units to maintain competitiveness in the 2026 digital era.

Abstract

This research explores the critical shift in crisis communication management within State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), focusing on PT Pertamina (Persero) during the 2025 fuel contamination crisis. The study aims to bridge the gap between Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT) and the unique socio-political burdens faced by state entities by proposing a new framework, the "Radical Accountability" model. Utilizing a qualitative conceptual approach, the methodology employs integrative literature synthesis and narrative case deconstruction. Data from secondary sources, including official corporate reports, social media discourse on TikTok and X, and reputable academic journals, were triangulated to identify systemic patterns of communication failure and the "transparency paradox" inherent in highly regulated industries. Findings reveal that moral integrity crises in SOEs trigger extreme public anger and "ontological insecurity" that conventional technical accidental models cannot resolve. The analysis identifies a structural conflict where bureaucratic rigidity and state secrecy collide with the public's demand for instant digital accountability. To address this, the proposed "Integrity Recovery Model" offers a three-phase strategic response: immediate symbolic action, systematic legal accountability, and the restoration of public sovereignty. This article extends SCCT by integrating energy sovereignty and moral integrity as core reputational assets. It shifts the role of Public Relations from reactive image management to evidence-based trust facilitation, providing a strategic blueprint for SOEs to navigate digital firestorms in the post-truth era by aligning communication narratives with tangible judicial interventions.

Abstract

The digital communication ecosystem is undergoing a fundamental shift from link-based search systems to generative, answer-based information synthesis, creating a “zero-click” phenomenon that threatens the economic sustainability of traditional media. This conceptual research formulates a new strategic framework termed “Symbiotic Media Relations” to mitigate systemic risks for both public relations (PR) practitioners and digital media entities. Employing an integrative review approach and conceptual mapping, this study synthesizes academic literature and industry trends from 2024 to 2026, including an analysis of Indonesia’s Presidential Regulation No. 32 of 2024. The findings indicate that traditional visibility metrics, such as page views and raw impressions, have become obsolete in an era where AI-generated summaries satisfy audience cognitive needs directly. Consequently, this research proposes a reconstruction of the value exchange between PR and media, shifting from transactional publicity to a “Symbiotic Data Supply Chain.” This model suggests that PR practitioners must act as primary information infrastructure providers, supplying high-quality, structured data to enhance media content authority within generative AI architectures. The study introduces “Brand Citation Authority” (BCA) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) as essential competencies for maintaining narrative integrity and brand attribution. By fostering reciprocity and data transparency, the proposed framework ensures the financial resilience of high-quality journalism while securing corporate information authority. Ultimately, this research provides a strategic roadmap for navigating the automated information landscape, emphasizing that the survival of independent journalism is an ethical responsibility and a vital interest for the public relations industry in 2026.

Abstract

This study examines the conceptual role of Public Relations (PR) in managing organizational reputation and public trust, with a particular focus on State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) in the digital era. Rapid developments in information technology have increased the risk of reputational crises, requiring organizations to adopt transparent and responsive communication strategies. Using a conceptual paper approach and a structured literature review, this research synthesizes various theoretical frameworks, including Situational Crisis Communication Theory and the organization-public relationship model. The analysis indicates that PR functions as a strategic managerial pillar that builds "reputational capital" through consistent two-way communication, which acts as a buffer during organizational crises. Furthermore, the study explores how effective crisis communication strategies can mitigate public uncertainty and restore trust by maintaining social legitimacy. The resulting conceptual model provides a systematic framework for understanding the interplay between PR strategies, crisis management, and long-term reputation preservation. This research contributes to the theoretical expansion of organizational communication by addressing the research gap in the SOE context. It concludes that a proactive PR approach is essential for navigating the complex digital landscape and suggests that future empirical studies should validate this framework across diverse industrial sectors.
