Abstract

This study explored the significant impact of disinformation spread through social media, focusing on the documentary "The Social Dilemma" by Jeff Orlowski. The film provided a critical lens to examine how social media algorithms amplified false narratives. Using a qualitative content analysis approach, the research highlighted key themes related to disinformation, such as political polarization in the U.S., the flat earth theory, the #Pizzagate conspiracy, Covid-19 misinformation, and the incitement of hate speech in Myanmar. The findings revealed that algorithms designed to maximize user engagement often prioritized sensational and misleading content, exacerbating the spread of false information. This fueled social tensions and undermined public health and democratic processes. The study emphasized the urgent need for increased public awareness of disinformation's effects and called on social media platforms to take responsibility for reducing its spread.

Abstract

The Mate Taon calendar is a seasonal calendar typically used by the Semende Darat community, Muara Enim Regency, South Sumatra. This calendar serves as a reference for the agricultural activities of the community established by their ancestors. The aim of this research is to understand the characteristics of mate taon as well as the current knowledge and understanding of the community. This qualitative research employed the ethnographic communication approach. The findings indicate that mate taon represents the community's interpretation of the local natural environment since the time of the puyang and has persisted to the present day. Currently, there are variations in the understanding of the mate taoncalendar, categorized among older generations, adults, and youth. The older generation tends to have a better understanding of mate taon, while adults also comprehend it, albeit not in a substantial manner. In contrast, the youth's understanding is largely superficial. Overall, mate taon continues to be practiced, although it is not substantially understood by the younger generation.

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the trends in publications regarding terrorism and social media in Indonesia in 2010 to 2023. The data is categorized by publication year, research topics, and fields of study. Researchers also calculated the citations received by each publication By using citation analysis, the study seeks to uncover patterns of scholarly attention, identify the most cited works, and determine the degree to which Indonesian research is integrated into the global discourse on terrorism and digital media. This research is necessary because of limited bibliometric assessment of how this field has grown and how influential it has been.  The research findings indicate that publication trends peaked in 2021 in several topics such as radicalization/propaganda, counter radicalism/deradicalization, and religious moderation. The fields of Islamic studies and Communication studies were the most prolific in publishing studies on this subject. Of the 165 articles analyzed, only 15 articles received more than 10 citations in the broader terrorism research. On average, social media and terrorism research were cited only six times per publication in the broader terrorism literature. These suggest a lack of integration with the broader terrorism literature.

Abstract

#nazarpemilu on X/Twitter was a unique digital political reality during the 2024 Indonesian presidential election. It stood out as the only political hashtag that had practical consequences in the real world. On January 6, 2024, there were 49,562 mentions of #nazarpemilu on X/Twitter. The movement involved 6,432 accounts. This study aimed to describe and critique the construction of digital political reality on #nazarpemilu. This research uses a qualitative approach with a critical discourse analysis method.Through analyzing #nazarpemilu documents, conducting in-depth interviews with account owners, utilizing library data, and exploring intertextuality, it was discovered that social media acted as a public platform for expressing political aspirations in the face of inactive state institutions. #nazarpemilu represented a manifestation of despair against the inefficacy of formal state institutions, supporting candidates who shared similar values and opposing those who lacked integrity or violated the constitution. The research concluded that the dynamics of social media showcased a wave of positive, creative, and constructive energy that transcended into the physical realm. The readiness to embrace differing opinions online and offline led to many ideas and creativity, as evidenced by #nazarpemilu. The results of the study show that hashtags on X/Twitter are an arena for discourse battles to thwart candidates in political contests. Furthermore, social media goes beyond its original nature and function. It has turned into a political action that mobilizes citizens.

Abstract

This study aims to map what social media is popular among beginner voters as a political reference for the 2024 election. Furthermore, this study will examine persuasive political messages that appeal to novice voters so that it will illustrate what message formulas are popular among novice voters. This research will use a qualitative approach with data collection methods through open questionnaires to explore informants' social media use habits, mandala interviews, and Focus Group Discussions. Informants will be selected using purposive sampling techniques, namely first-time voters who have not been used to vote in regional elections, aged 17-18 years in 2023, and who actively access political information on social media. The results of the menu research show that the message formula that gets the attention of novice voters is in a way that is not pushy or persuasive. Use slang that is easy to understand and not rigid (implicitly does not contain the candidate's vision, mission, and program). Message packaging in videos and photos is more beautiful to novice voters than text because it aligns with social media, which is generally interested in Instagram and TikTok.

Abstract

Domestic violence cases are increasingly being exposed in various news outlets,  reporting women are disproportionately affected by both physical and sexual violence. The extensive coverage of these incidents represents a significant advancement in empowering women's positions. Nevertheless, given the enduring influence of patriarchal society within the media business, it is necessary to do a more in-depth analysis of how women are depicted while reporting domestic violence, especially from visual representations. The author investigated the news reporting of domestic violence from Kompas.com and Detik.com during 2022-2023. The analysis revealed that there is ambiguity in representing women as the victims of domestic violence. The two outlets' progressive approach is evident in the narrative, as they position the women as the subjects. However, from the visual images, both outlets continue to perpetuate the notion of women as victims by portraying them in a prejudiced manner.

Abstract

All Indonesians, especially Generation Z, need to be politically literate, as they are the ones who will shape the nation’s future. Since Generation Z constituted the majority of voters in the 2024 election, understanding their political insights is crucial. Despite their digital fluency, many Gen Z individuals remain disengaged from formal political processes. This study aims to analyze how Generation Z constructs political insight after watching the Bacapres Bicara Gagasan program on YouTube. Using a qualitative phenomenological method, this research explores their cognitive, affective, and personal integration experiences. The findings reveal that the program provided new perspectives on politics and influenced how Gen Z evaluates presidential candidates. The study underscores the importance of media, especially YouTube, in enhancing youth political awareness and participation in the digital age.

The relations between using Korean celebrities as brand ambassadors is certainly felt by Korea and Indonesia, which previously had been well established in diplomatic relationships.
