Abstract

To express their identity on social media, the LGBT community needs to manage their self-presentation so that it can be accepted by the wider community. Building on this, the study aims to explain how LGBT individuals manage their identities through social media and the challenges they have encountered. This study employed a qualitative method by analysing four (4) Instagram accounts of LGBT members as data sources. The Instagram accounts are the following: @mimi. peri, @joviadhiguna, @lucintaluna_manjalita, and @ablaolevera which were chosen based on previously determined criteria through purposive sampling techniques. The units of analysis used are phrases, clauses, sentences and images in Instagram accounts that have been compared with identity management theory, CMC and queer theory. The results of the study show that LGBT individuals in representing their identity are more open through Instagram accounts to build interpersonal communication with fellow LGBT, making them feel safe, comfortable and can be accepted by other groups. Second, LGBT individuals are representing their new identity in the form of fashion clothing, body gestures, and makeup. Third, there is a renegotiation of the face for LGBT individuals in representing their identity on Instagram media. The novelty in this study is that face renegotiation can enhance the development of interpersonal relationships on social media. Self-identity management can be done through the exploration, struggle, and renegotiation phases.

Abstract

The rise of sexual abuse and violence that occur in campus environments often affect women. Minimal safe space for victims and unrest that fellow women have been haunted by frequent cases of abuse and sexual violence. In this case, it is necessary to have a massive involvement in addressing cases of gender abuse and equality through communities that are able to address, provide protection, and educate through various forms of communication media. Girl Up Community Universitas Indonesia (UI) & Girl Up UPN Veteran Jakarta (UPNVJ) plays an important role in addressing gender equality cases and women-related issues by supporting Women’s Empowerment in campus environments. Girl Up UI & Girl Up UPNVJ was selected as a research object because of significant involvement of women-related communication activities such as massive spread of information through digital platforms and face-to-face to the implementation of women empowerment programs in every area of life. The research also discussed communication media such as Instagram platform, Zoom Meeting, and Official Website used by Girl Up in socialising and educating the community and organising campaigns, especially in campus environments to be more concerned and able to address gender equality issues that should be fought for. The research used qualitative research methods conducted through a phenomenology approach with in-depth interview techniques and snowball sampling techniques. With a series of questions given to 6 (six) informants, it is found that the effectiveness of communication experience through online and offline platforms can become a communication tool and information dissemination to audiences. Girl Up UI and Girl Up UPNVJ successfully attract participants to support women's empowerment and to act on gender equality well.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the influence of Green Consumer Knowledge (GCK), Consumer Social Responsibility (CnSR), and Green Advertising (GA) on green purchasing behaviour (Green Purchase Behaviour) among Generation Z in Samarinda, Kalimantan. A quantitative approach was used with a survey method through an online questionnaire distributed to 189 respondents aged 18-25 years in Samarinda City. Data were analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that GCK significantly influenced Green Purchase Behaviour, both directly and through the partial mediation role of CnSR. This suggests that consumer knowledge of green products increases social awareness and encourages more environmentally responsible purchasing decisions. In addition, GA was shown to positively moderate the relationship between CnSR and Green Purchase Behaviour, indicating that sustainability-focused advertising strengthens the influence of social responsibility on consumer purchasing decisions. This study concludes that the combination of GCK, CnSR, and GA is a key driver in promoting sustainable consumption among Generation Z. Practical implications of this study include the importance of consumer education, corporate collaboration with NGOs to improve CnSR, and transparent and credible advertising strategies to avoid scepticism related to greenwashing. This study is limited to the cosmetics sector and the student population in Samarinda, so generalisation to other sectors or regions may be limited. Further research is recommended to involve non-student Generation Z and more diverse product categories.

Abstract

This study addresses the increasing concern surrounding social media echo chambers and their impact on political discourse. While echo chambers are often framed as a universal phenomenon, reinforcing existing beliefs and limiting exposure to diverse perspectives, this review recognises that cultural, political, and infrastructural factors significantly influence how echo chambers form and operate in different contexts. Factors such as social media regulation, censorship policies, and linguistic diversity play crucial roles in shaping these dynamics beyond Western settings. This research aimed to undercover how algorithmic curation, selective exposure, and socio-political contexts shape social media echo chambers and political persuasion. It seeks to analyse cognitive and affective factors reinforcing partisan beliefs and misinformation, evaluate cross-cultural differences, and identify strategies to foster cross-partisan dialogue and democratic engagement. This study employed a Systematic Literature Review approach, drawing upon the Scopus Database to evaluate existing studies, identify key themes, and highlight areas for future research. The PRISMA guidelines were followed to ensure methodological rigour and transparency. Key findings reveal that algorithmic curation and selective exposure, combined with the sharing of emotionally charged content, systematically limit exposure to contradicting evidence, allowing disinformation to thrive unchecked within insular communities. Furthermore, affective polarisation intensifies partisan hostility, making users more receptive to accepting false or exaggerated claims. Intensifying partisan hostility creates an emotional environment where individuals become more likely to accept false or exaggerated claims aligned with their political identity. The study recommends that future research should focus on exploring the psychological drivers of echo chamber participation, developing strategies for mitigating the impact of disinformation, and examining the effectiveness of interventions aimed at promoting critical thinking and media literacy.

Abstract

The Korean Wave (Hallyu) phenomenon has formed a new communication pattern among K-Pop fans in Indonesia, including the ARMY Bone community in Bone Regency. This study examined the communication behaviour of the ARMY Bone community through Erving Goffman's Dramaturgy Theory, focusing on the formation of formalist and ritualistic impressions, as well as identity dynamics through the concept of front stage and backstage. This study used a qualitative method of a phenomenological approach, with observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and documentation of seven informants selected purposively. The results of the study show that ARMY Bone's communication behaviour is formed through verbal symbols (Korean terms, BTS songs, the word ‘Borahae’) and nonverbal (dress style, dance, facial expressions) that form a collective identity and impression as loyal fans. In the public space (front stage), members present themselves according to the role of the community, while in the private space (backstage) they show a more authentic personal identity. These findings strengthened the concept of dramaturgy that social identity is formed through performative and contextual self-presentation strategies, along with the dynamics of the community and popular culture they adopt. The implications of these findings suggest that fan communities such as ARMY Bone play a role in shaping young people's social identities through symbolic communication and self-presentation strategies, while also being social spaces that support local expressions of global culture.

Abstract

This study analysed critical discourse on digital citizens' comments regarding the Ridwan Kamil-Lisa Mariana case and interprets the concept of digital citizenship. This study used a qualitative approach with Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (text, discourse practice, and socio-cultural practice). Data was collected using netnography techniques from 4,289 comments on the YouTube platform from six news and entertainment channels. The data was processed with NVivo 15 and visualised through matrix coding queries and word clouds. The results of the study show: 1. Critical discourse analysis on the text dimension shows that digital citizens' comments often use religious and moral diction such as ‘adultery’, ‘sin’, ‘mistress’, ‘cheap’, which function as labelling and symbolic punishment. The discourse practice dimension shows that comments easily spread following viral trends, so that emotional opinions are more quickly accepted than clarifications, resulting in moral activism turning into collective surveillance. The socio-cultural dimension is related to religious culture and social control in Indonesia, but in the digital space, these values have changed into mass pressure and digital vigilantism. 2. The shift from activism to bullying occurs due to virality, accompanied by negative labelling and religious undertones. Digital citizens tend to ignore four crucial elements related to digital citizenship, such as ethics, law, literacy, and rights and responsibilities. Therefore, these four elements need to be strengthened so that online participation does not turn into bullying.

Abstract

The condition of community radio is always linked to its ability as a medium to provide diversity of information amid a homogeneous media industry dominated by conglomerates. On the other hand, they are very likely to experience powerlessness, mainly due to the narrow dichotomy formalised by regulations. This study focused on four radio stations in Yogyakarta: Saka FM, BBM FM, Swaka FM, and Angkringan FM. This study examined the dynamics of community radio in managing community issues and how it can remain relevant to its communities. This qualitative research used a collective case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with four community radio managers, broadcasters and experts, as well as direct observation at each radio station. The rhizome perspective was used to analyse the findings. The study concluded that community radio stations have stagnated in capturing the reality of their communities, especially socio-political issues. Secondly, the relevance of community radio stations to their communities is not based on their ability to address community issues, but rather on their role as entertainment media. These results indicate that it is difficult for radio stations to function as rhizomes as catalysts and to build interconnections.

Abstract

The sale and purchase agreement (akad) has long been a traditional practice in the daily lives of the Banjar community. This study aims to examine the implementation of akad by Generation Z through a transactional communication approach and to analyse how its sustainability contributes to future generations in Banjar society. Using a descriptive qualitative method, this research investigates the construction of meaning surrounding akad in everyday transactional interactions. Data were collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews with Generation Z participants. In addition, source triangulation was conducted by involving parents, teachers, community leaders, and sellers. The findings indicate that Generation Z continues to consistently apply akad in their daily transactions. Moreover, informants from all generations emphasised the importance of preserving this practice, as it aligns with the religious and cultural values of the local community.

Abstract

Youth participation in community-based social organisations such as Karang Taruna remains uneven, despite the substantial proportion of young people within local communities. Sidoarjo Regency represents a socially transitional area characterised by strong urban–communitarian dynamics and cultural complexity, with individuals ranging from 15–29 yrs old forming a strategic demographic group for social development. This study examined the effectiveness of empathy-based participatory communication in strengthening youth social participation through a Research Capacity Building (RCB) approach, focusing on Karang Taruna in Sidoarjo Regency. A qualitative participatory action research design was employed, involving in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with 30 purposively selected informants, including youth members, community leaders, and facilitators. The research was conducted across three villages—Gisikcemandi, Masangan Kulon, and Bungurasih—representing diverse socio-cultural contexts. A four-week intervention comprised participatory communication training, social leadership development, and direct involvement in community-based activities. Data were analysed thematically. The findings reveal four interconnected themes: (1) participatory communication patterns within Karang Taruna, (2) the internalisation of empathy values through egalitarian and dialogical interactions, (3) the role of empathetic interventions in enhancing youth confidence, engagement, and critical awareness, and (4) contextual challenges and opportunities in sustaining participatory communication practices. The integration of empathy-based communication with the RCB approach strengthened collective learning, intergenerational dialogue, and sustained social participation. This study concludes that empathy-based participatory communication, when embedded within a research capacity building framework, contributes to the development of a sustainable ecosystem of youth social participation and community-driven social change.

Abstract

This study analysed the conflict expression and polarisation in digital communication through the YouTube comment section on TV One’s coverage of riots between the Persib Bandung and Persija Jakarta supporters. Through a qualitative content analysis approach with NVivo, the study systematically examined 1,200 user comments collected from the video titled ‘Mob Attack on Supporters During Persija vs Persib Match, Two People Arrested’, which was released on 20 February 2025. The analysis combined three techniques: frequency analysis, sentiment analysis, and Social Network Analysis (SNA). Frequency analysis revealed the dominance of conflict-related terms such as supporters, violence, provocation, fanaticism, and anarchy, reflecting how language is used to reinforce group identity and deepen polarisation between Bobotoh and Jakmania. Sentiment analysis showed that 60% of comments carried a negative tone, 25% were neutral, and 15% were positive, indicating strong public emotions of anger, disappointment, and demands for legal action. SNA further identified key accounts functioning as hubs of discussion, amplifying narratives of conflict and shaping collective perceptions through interaction patterns and subgroup debates. These findings confirm that digital platforms such as YouTube do not merely reflect public opinion but actively serve as arenas for discursive conflict, where language, identity, and polarisation are reproduced and intensified. This study underscores the urgency of stronger content moderation on digital platforms, balanced framing by mass media, and preventive monitoring by relevant authorities. It provides theoretical insights for discourse analysis in digital communication and practical recommendations for managing conflict in both online and offline contexts.
