Abstract

The research aims to discover the cultural industry's power by looking at body discipline practices in online skincare shopping activity among metrosexuals. Using virtual ethnography, we focus on Instagram postings that focus on digital text as a medium for seeing the form of discipline of metrosexual men. Regarding the research informants, the researcher determined six informants. The characteristics of these informants in this study are male, living/residing in Jakarta, Bandung, and Surabaya. Males interested in facial skincare products often. purchase through online shopping (repetition buying). Informants were obtained through a search using the keyword ‘metrosexual’ in the Instagram search field by and examined profiles that contain some information. Search results are sorted only among Indonesian metrosexuals. Data analysis began with observation of the informant's Instagram account profile from the Text/Photo/Video/Comment that can be accessed publicly. Followed by interviews to explore the understanding of the meaning behind the practice of online shopping through Instagram posts. The results of this study show that by developing self-care expertise, the cultural industry and body discipline of metrosexual men through online skincare buying activities contribute to disciplining their bodies. Disciplinary power is applicable to metrosexual males who receive discipline from facial skincare product businesses as well as from guys who post about these products. According to Adorno's research, social media is used as a disciplining tool by the cultural business for metrosexual guys, and this is perceived through the lens of the panopticon mechanism.

Abstract

In a dynamic political context, presidential speeches are crucial in shaping public perception and guiding policy. President Joko Widodo's latest speech on August 16, 2024 that was uploaded through the Presidential Secretariat's YouTube channel, has come under scrutiny for containing important elements relating to communication strategies and leadership legitimacy. This study aims to analyse the speech by exploring how Jokowi's distinctive rhetoric reflects his role in the political agenda. Using a qualitative approach and Van Dijk's critical discourse analysis technique, this study employs a socio-cognitive framework to guide the analysis. Lingual data was collected through free listening techniques, including transcription, observation, and research subject determination. Meanwhile, non-lingual data was obtained from credible news documents and analysed using hermeneutics and phenomenology methods. The results showed that Jokowi built his image as a responsive and effective leader through language that highlighted the successes and challenges of his leadership and built leadership authority by presenting himself as a skilful, strategic, and reality-based leader. This research contributes to understanding rhetorical strategies in political communication and leadership authority studies, with far-reaching implications for public perception and political dynamics.

Abstract

Abstract In the era of digital communications, social media influencers significantly shape consumer behaviour and engagement. This study investigated the impact of an influencer’s role as an opinion leader and the perceived information quality on Instagram audience engagement intentions, mediated by perceived fit with personal interests. Engagement intentions were operationalised through respondents' willingness to follow the influencer’s advice, interact with content, and recommend the influencer to others. Data were collected via a structured online survey based on a sample of 500 followers of an educational influencer. Path analysis using SPSS revealed that opinion leadership and information quality significantly enhanced engagement intentions, which amplified these effects when mediated by perceived influencer-audience alignment. This study builds upon existing literature, such as the two-step flow model, perceived quality of information, and self-congruity, by addressing gaps in their application and relevance to the dynamic environment of social media influencer marketing. While limited to a single educational influencer, the findings offer insights for influencers and marketers to showcase credibility, deliver quality content, and align with audience interests to improve engagement. Future research should expand to include diverse influencers and audience demographics across multiple platforms to enhance the generalisability and applicability of findings.

Abstract

Children in homes are particularly susceptible to experiencing violence, especially verbal violence. Violence against children in Jakarta is a common occurrence and a significant concern in Jakarta's urban society. Specifically, verbal violence affects children by impairing their psychological development and obstructing their self-growth. This research examined the significance of family communication in mitigating verbal violence between parents and children in Jakarta through a qualitative methodology with a phenomenology approach. Data was gathered by observation and comprehensive interviews with five informants residing near Jakarta, subsequently transcribed and analysed utilising NVIVO 12. Additionally, the researcher performed a literature analysis by examining prior studies concerning the impact of family communication on reducing parent-child verbal violence. The research results indicate that the function of family communication is contingent upon the awareness of adults, particularly parents, who play a significant role in implementing family communication patterns. This includes providing appropriate examples of emotional expression and actively inquiring about their children's daily experiences. Verbal violence in children can be mitigated by effective family communication.

Abstract

The digital era has made social media a powerful platform for social activism. One issue that is increasingly getting attention is the issue of sexual violence against women. The issue of sexual violence is one of the many issues that is of public concern because the number of acts of sexual violence is increasing along with. There were 4280 cases of sexual violence that occurred in Indonesia throughout 2023 (data collected by the Indonesia Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection). To understand this phenomenon, researchers targeted Instagram which actively highlights the issue of sexual violence that occurs in the realm of digital activism on social media. The Instagram account @rahasiagadis uses their social media platform to carry out digital activism, specifically focusing on highlighting the issue of sexual violence against women. By virtual ethnography (netnography), data collection was carried out through interviews with seven informants from @rahasiagadis and online observations (from May to August 2023) to observe the content uploaded, responses from followers, and comments that describe the involvement and views of the community on the issue of sexual violence and after that the interview data was documented verbatim. Meanwhile, data analysis relies on triangulation. By integrating a gender perspective by paying special attention to women's ways, the results of the study (which will be implications for future gender studies and digital activism) show that @rahasiagadis has succeeded in creating an active virtual community and building CMC usage goals that encourage meaningful participation and meet the psychosocial needs of followers.

Abstract

Abstract The complexity of crisis communication in the digital era has increased alongside the rapid development of internet technology and social media. This situation has made companies more vulnerable to crises that can significantly impact their reputation and operations. Thus, this study seeks to answer the research question: how can a well-structured and planned issue management strategy help organisations anticipate and address crises in the digital era? This research employed a qualitative approach with an exploratory design to answer this question. In-depth interviews were conducted with senior corporate communication executives and crisis managers from high-reliability organisations (HROs). HROs were selected as the research subjects due to their high-risk operations, which demand highly structured and strategic risk and issue management systems. The findings indicate that proactive issue management strategies based on risk analysis are crucial in mitigating the impact of crises. Furthermore, the results emphasise the importance of integrating digital technologies into communication strategies to enhance the effectiveness of issues and crisis management. This study aims to provide practical recommendations for Public Relations practitioners and offer directions for further research on issue and crisis management in the digital era.

Abstract

Abstract This research hoped to find out the environmental communication practices in the management of the Wehea protected forest in Nehas Liah Bing Village, East Kutai, East Kalimantan, Indonesia, through the perspective of Kenneth Burke's Dramatism. This research sought human relations in performing symbolic actions by paying attention to the sources, limits, and paradoxes of using symbols, particularly regarding motives in communication actions and revealing discourse contestation among environmental rhetorics. This research used ethnographic communication methods. The data collection was conducted by observation, in-depth interviews, and analysis of archival, textual, or visual data obtained from field research. The data was analysed using Kenneth Burke's Pentad analysis. The researchers conclude that four key actors are involved and six distinct scenes or phases in the cycle of drama related to environmental communication in Nehas Liah Bing Village. Among the four actors, three are environmental actors or rhetors, each with different motives and interests driving their involvement in establishing the Wehea protected forest. Nevertheless, they can collaborate to save the environment. This study's theoretical implication shows that dramatism as a new rhetorical theory can be used in environmental communication studies to explore the relationship between agencies, institutions, and power in certain situations or conjunctions involved in the establishment and management of Indigenous community-based protected forests.

Abstract

As technology continuously develops, economic activities begin to shift from the use of traditional payment systems to the use of digital payments. The urgency of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) digitalisation program will gradually encourage small-scale street food vendors to adjust to technological advances. With this transformation, this study aimed to measure the development of QRIS usage among small merchants, whereby only little research has been done on the use of QRIS among small merchants. The researchers conducted a survey and in-depth interviews with small merchants at Pondok Cina Station, Depok, West Java, Indonesia. The results showed that there were more respondents who did not use QRIS with 53.3%, rather than those who used QRIS with 46,7%, although the difference was relatively not large. The biggest reason why merchants still do not use QRIS is that they do not understand how to use it and have encountered difficulty using it. In fact, there are still customers who rarely use it. Nevertheless, meeting high customer demand is one of the most common reasons why merchants use QRIS as a means of payment. Education, gender and age of merchants are aspects that can be researched deeper which are the determining factors for merchants using QRIS. The interview results show that QRIS is able to increase merchants' sales profits. There are several reasons why the respondents do not use QRIS, such as lack of understanding on how to use it, with 19.4%, consumers rarely use QRIS with 22.6%, inconvenience of using it with 22.6%, and making losses with 3.2%.

Abstract

Abstract This study explored how museums can optimise their social media strategies to engage Generation Z. This tech-savvy demographic values interactive, visually appealing, and immersive online experiences by examining the case of Art:1 New Museum in Jakarta. This research investigated strategies cultural institutions can adopt to align with Generation Z's digital habits and preferences. Rooted in the AISAS model (Attention, Interest, Search, Action, and Share), this study examined the role of social media in shaping brand image, online reputation, and visitor engagement by employing a qualitative approach, and data were collected through in-depth interviews with a museum gallery manager, regular visitors, the artist and competitor along with content analysis of Art:1’s Instagram account. The findings reveal that Art:1’s limited use of interactive features, inconsistent content quality, and lack of user-generated content engagement reduce its appeal to younger audiences. Despite its strong offline reputation among art collectors, Art:1 struggles to establish a cohesive digital presence that resonates with Generation Z. This study offers actionable recommendations, including enhancing content quality, integrating interactive features, fostering user-generated content, and aligning digital strategies with the preferences of younger audiences. These findings provide valuable insights for cultural institutions seeking to remain relevant in the digital era by adapting their marketing strategies to better meet emerging demographics' needs.

Abstract

This article analysed the discourse construction of online media following the Constitutional Court (MK) of the Republic of Indonesia's decision No.90/PUU-XXI/2023 in November 2023. Online media have addressed the controversy surrounding the ethical violations resulting from the MK's decision in various ways. Utilising the perspective of Critical Political Economy (CPE) on media institutions, this research assumes there is a diversity of content in online media when reporting on the ethical violations of the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court. The research method employed is Corpus-Assisted Discourse Study (CADS) to analyse the frequency and discourse of news coverage from four online news portals (Tempo.co; Detik.com; Okezone.com; and Kompas.com) from November 1 to December 31, 2023. The findings indicate fluctuations in the frequency of word occurrences and dynamics of discourse in the news content that differ among the four online portals, which are related to the pragmatic interests of the media owners. The diversity in frequency and discourse regarding the ethical violation issues places the four studied media outlets within three corridors of tension in news orientation (normative-descriptive, moderate, and critical-radical).
