Abstract

This article critically reassesses the relevance of Thomas Lickona's character education theory in explaining civic character within the post-truth digital environment. As digital platforms increasingly shape how citizens access information, form opinions, and engage in public life, civic character is no longer formed solely through traditional institutions but through algorithmically mediated, affective, and epistemically unstable environments. A significant research gap exists in that prior applications of Lickona's framework have not adequately examined its explanatory adequacy in post-truth digital contexts, nor proposed systematic reconstructions grounded in digital civic theory. Using qualitative library research and critical-conceptual analysis, this study examined scholarly literature across civic education, media studies, and digital political communication. Data were collected through purposive literature selection and analyzed through four interrelated stages: conceptual identification, thematic comparison, critical interpretation, and conceptual reconstruction. Conceptual triangulation was employed to enhance analytical rigor. The analysis finds that Lickona's triadic model moral knowing, moral feeling, and moral action remains normatively valuable as an ethical foundation for civic character, particularly in fostering civic discernment, empathy, and responsibility. However, the theory is analytically insufficient for addressing the socio-technical realities of post-truth citizenship, including algorithmic mediation, affective virality, and epistemic instability. This article proposes a reconstructed framework of digital civic character that extends Lickona's theory through (1) critical digital discernment, (2) digital civic empathy, (3) responsible digital civic engagement, and (4) algorithmic awareness. The study contributes to the theoretical renewal of character education for democratic life in digital society.

Abstract

This study investigates the development of digital populism in political communication research through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and a bibliometric analysis of the Scopus database. Using the PRISMA screening framework, 18 relevant journal articles published between 2015 and 2025 were identified, suggesting that although research in this field remains limited, it has shown a notable increase, particularly after 2021. The findings indicate that the concept of digital populism has evolved from an initial focus on online activism and networked resistance to a more comprehensive framework that explains how populist messages are strategically created, distributed, and amplified through digital platforms and their underlying logics. Bibliometric mapping reveals key thematic clusters of digital populism, nationalism, and populism, with discourse analysis as the dominant methodological approach. Furthermore, the synthesis highlights five defining characteristics of digital populism: people-centrism, emotional communication, political visualisation, virality, and direct participation. Despite these insights, the literature remains heavily concentrated in Western contexts, with limited contributions from Asia and the Global South. Accordingly, future studies should broaden data sources and pursue comparative research across diverse sociopolitical contexts to enhance theoretical and empirical understanding.
