Abstract

This study examines how Generations Z, Millennials, and X perceive source credibility within an integrated media ecosystem, where traditional and digital platforms converge amid collapsing institutional trust. While the existing literature addresses the crisis of trust in institutionalized media, little research has examined how generational cognitive preferences translate into specific behaviors within actual integrated settings, specifically the mechanisms of bridging or bypassing information sources. The findings reveal distinct patterns: Gen X predominantly bypasses digital sources due to heavy reliance on institutions, and Millennials systematically cross-validate to build “bridges.” In contrast, Gen Z, driven by networked authenticity, bypasses traditional outlets. These findings are crucial for media literacy and legacy media adaptation in the age of audience fragmentation. This study proposes a hybrid communication framework for media organizations to regain relevance across diverse age groups.

Abstract

Background: Digital disruption has changed the global broadcasting landscape, shifting radio from a rigid terrestrial medium to a more fluid multiplatform ecosystem. Although digital platforms dominate the attention economy, radio in Indonesia has shown unique resilience by combining legacy trust with digital network-based interaction. Purpose: This study aims to reformulate radio content distribution strategies and explain how radio management adapts to the logic of platformisation in the digital age. Methods: This research used a multi-site qualitative approach with case studies on three types of radio stations in Indonesia. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and reinforced with digital ethnography. Results: The results show that radio's sustainability is supported by three main pillars. First, algorithmic grooming, which is a radio strategy to tailor content to the logic of visual platform algorithms. Second, distributional decoupling, where radio identity no longer depends entirely on physical frequencies. Third, the utilization of radio as a ‘human infrastructure’ that builds emotional closeness and parasocial interaction with the audience. This study also found the important role of radio in regional areas as a backup information medium when digital networks are disrupted. Conclusion: This study concludes that the revival of radio has occurred through its transformation from a frequency provider to a flexible and adaptive ‘everywhere media’ entity. Implications: Theoretically, this study contributes to the development of media convergence theory by emphasizing that strategic fluidity, the ability to operate across digital and terrestrial boundaries, is key to radio's resilience in the digital age.

Abstract

This study analyzes the Instagram content strategy of the @dprd.lomboktimur account in building transparency and public trust in the regional legislative body. Social media has become a strategic tool for government institutions to communicate with the public, but its effectiveness depends heavily on the content strategy implemented. Based on analytical data from Toolzu.com for the 2025-2026 period, the @dprd.lomboktimur Instagram account had 417 followers, 136 posts, an engagement rate of 0.14%, and an average user activity of 1.96%. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with digital content analysis and a literature review on government communication. The results show that the implemented content strategy still focuses on documenting internal activities (commission meetings, working visits) with the dominant keywords "East Lombok," "Commission," and "meeting." The low engagement rate indicates a lack of two-way interaction with the public. These findings suggest the need for content diversification, increased humanistic narratives, optimized posting times, and strengthened engagement strategies to build transparency and public trust more effectively.

Abstract

This study examines the role of interpersonal communication as an adaptive strategy to reduce burnout among final year students at Dr. Soetomo University, Surabaya. Using an exploratory qualitative approach, this study involved five participants from various disciplines who experienced high academic stress due to the demands of their final projects. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically. The findings show that interpersonal communication plays a central role in reducing burnout through emotional support, emotional venting, reflective dialogue, effective communication media, and collaborative problem solving. Supportive communication from the inner circle, such as friends, partners, family members, and academic advisors, helps students regain motivation, regulate emotions, and strengthen psychological resilience. Conversely, ineffective communication characterized by judgment, inappropriate humor, or role imbalance tends to exacerbate stress levels. This study highlights the importance of interpersonal communication as a context-based non-clinical coping mechanism, offering practical and theoretical implications for the development of peer support systems, communication training, and academic mentoring programs. This study also emphasizes the need for educational institutions to create a supportive communication environment as part of a preventive mental health strategy.

Abstract

This study aims to understand the communication patterns of parents in caring for children with intellectual disabilities at Rumah Anak Prestasi Surabaya. The background of this study is the lack of research on communication between family members, especially in the Indonesian context, involving parents in the informal education of children with disabilities. This study uses a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, and analyzes data using the transcendental phenomenology method. The results of the study show three main themes in parental communication, namely emotional and empathetic approaches, visual and non-verbal communication, and the use of storytelling as an instructional strategy. Parents emphasized the importance of empathetic communication and emotional involvement, such as setting aside special time for their children, listening to their feelings, and using physical contact to calm them. In addition, visual media such as pictures of faces and flash cards were used to clarify instructions and children's emotional expressions. The use of stories also helped children understand their values and emotions through relevant fictional characters. In conclusion, open and empathetic communication, as well as the use of visual communication, are key to supporting the development of children with intellectual disabilities in Indonesia.
