Abstract

This study aims to examine the public communication of the Indonesian Government in handling the flash flood disaster in Sumatra, at the end of 2025. The theory used in this study is the Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT), developed by W. Timothy Coombs, with two assumptions, namely crisis response strategy, and crisis responsibility. The method used is a desk study, by tracing several keywords: government public communication; disaster management; flash flood; through searching Scopus Elsevier, Springer, Taylor & Francis journals, print and electronic media coverage during the Sumatra flash flood disaster, from November 24, 2025 to January 15, 2026, impacts, losses, recovery, and especially the stages in the Indonesian Government's handling of the Sumatra flash flood disaster. The results of the study indicate that the current Prabowo Government does not yet have a measurable, integrated and planned disaster management procedure. This has resulted in inadequate Public Communication, especially in disaster management such as that which occurred in Sumatra. SCCT analysis shows that the Prabowo administration is employing a recovery strategy through apologies, although the exact compensation and corrective actions are unclear. In terms of public communication, the Prabowo administration is still considered slow, uncoordinated, and lacks specific guidelines, particularly for disaster management, particularly the flash floods in Sumatra.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze family communication in conflict. This research uses Robert Bales' Theory, with 6 assumptions that serve as the guide in this study. The paradigm used is Phenomenology, to understand the experiences of each individual. This study analyzes 4 families in conflict, with 6 informants. To maintain family confidentiality, the informants are symbolized as: A, B, C, and D, consisting of a child and one parent. The families analyzed are those who were once married and have since divorced, but must continue to communicate due to the presence of children. The research was conducted through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research results show that each family has its own way of resolving communication conflicts. Family A is committed to maintaining communication between the child and the separated parents; families B and C experience poor communication situations, which affect the child's adaptation difficulties and various emotional disturbances. The research results show that 2 families experience problems in communication, evaluation, supervision, tension, and cohesion, 1 family experiences problems in communication, evaluation, and supervision, and 1 family can maintain communication, share in evaluation, supervision, and maintain cohesion for the sake of their child even though they have separated as a couple.

Abstract

This study investigates the evolving role of communication in shaping Indonesia’s mass demonstrations in 2019 and 2025, two pivotal episodes reflecting civic discontent and the transformation of the digital media landscape. Grounded in agenda-setting theory, framing theory, and Habermas’s public sphere theory, this research examines how digital communication has shifted from rational discourse to affective and algorithmic mediation. The study hypothesizes that changes in media ecology influence not only public mobilisation but also the legitimacy of civic movements. Employing a comparative digital ethnography, this research analyses online communication practices, visual narratives, and misinformation across platforms such as Twitter (2019) and TikTok/Instagram (2025). Data were collected from user-generated content, hashtags, and visual artefacts, followed by interpretive coding to explore evolving communication logics and the algorithmic amplification of affective messages. Findings reveal a transformation from the networked public sphere of 2019—dominated by text-based civic idealism—to the algorithmic public sphere of 2025, characterised by visual storytelling, emotional contagion, and platform-driven visibility. While digital networks expanded participatory opportunities, they simultaneously fostered misinformation, algorithmic manipulation, and emotional polarisation. These dynamics illustrate how classical communication theories require integration with affective and algorithmic dimensions to explain contemporary activism. The results align with previous studies on digital democracy, highlighting both empowerment and control in mediated civic engagement. The study concludes that Indonesia’s evolving digital public sphere embodies both the promise and the peril of democratic communication. It underscores the dual function of communication—as a vehicle for civic empowerment and as a mechanism of algorithmic governance—in shaping public trust and deliberation.
