Abstract

This research critically analyzes the representation of the Gunungkidul community in the short film Njagong. Employing a qualitative method with a critical paradigm from media and cultural studies, this study applies Gill Branston and Roy Stafford’s textual analysis. This framework investigates four concepts: semiotics, structuralism, denotation/connotation, and ideological codes. Semiotically, signifiers like bamboo houses, traditional utensils (e.g., kukusan, irik), dry fields, and salt connote poverty, constructing a social meaning of enduring impoverishment. Structurally, the film depicts a community without class division, where everyone exists in the same social stratum—impoverished farmers working barren land. Connotatively, rural women are portrayed as underdeveloped due to limited education access. The region itself is constructed as barren, dry, and non-modern, suggesting it is unfit for habitation. These representations are reinforced through ideological codes and myths: that villages are too harsh for a proper life and that rural women, expected to marry young, do not require higher education. This study contributes to media and cultural studies by demonstrating how rural representation in film extends beyond depicting material conditions to actively perpetuating ideologies and myths that sustain social inequality. It enriches the discourse on how film can simultaneously reproduce and critique stigmas against marginalized regions. Ultimately, the research underscores the importance of a critical perspective in viewing media as a contested arena where local identity negotiates with dominant discourses of poverty, gender, and modernity.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of WhatsApp Blast content in supporting fundraising efforts at the non-profit organization MDMC (Muhammadiyah Disaster Management Center). Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected from 98 respondents who received MDMC’s WhatsApp Blast messages. The study applies the AIDA model (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) to assess the persuasive stages of the messages and integrates the Shannon and Weaver communication model to evaluate message delivery and potential communication noise. The results show a positive and statistically significant relationship between WhatsApp Blast effectiveness and fundraising outcomes (r = 0.274; p < 0.01); however, the relationship is substantively weak. The coefficient of determination (r² = 0.075) indicates that WhatsApp Blast contributes only minimally to fundraising success. The findings further reveal that WhatsApp Blast is effective primarily in generating attention and interest, but less effective in stimulating desire and encouraging donation actions due to limited emotional depth, insufficient personalization, and the presence of semantic noise. This study fills a research gap by examining WhatsApp Blast as a closed and direct communication channel for nonprofit fundraising, which remains underexplored compared to open social media platforms. The study highlights the importance of emotional engagement, message clarity, and multi-channel integration in strengthening digital fundraising strategies for nonprofit organizations.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital media has reshaped how companies handle crises, particularly when reputational risks intensify due to viral content on social platforms. This research explores the crisis management strategy of Secbowl, a food and beverage brand that encountered public criticism after viral social media posts questioned its service quality and operational reliability. Adopting a qualitative case study approach, the study relies on documentation analysis of online news reports and social media activity. The findings reveal that Secbowl initially implemented a rebuilding strategy as outlined in the Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT), focusing on public apologies, transparency, and corrective initiatives. Social media became the primary channel for directly engaging stakeholders and regaining trust. However, as the crisis unfolded, new information emerged months later indicating that portions of the viral content were misleading or even fabricated. This shift underscores the necessity for organizations to employ crisis communication strategies that remain flexible and responsive to changing circumstances. In conclusion, while the rebuilding phase through apologies and remedial measures proved effective during the early stages, sustainable recovery required transitioning towards refuting misinformation and reaffirming credibility. These insights emphasize the pivotal role of digital platforms, not only in amplifying crises but also in influencing corporate responses and shaping stakeholder perceptions in today’s digital landscape.

Abstract

Indonesia is a country highly prone to natural disasters, including earthquakes. In this context, social media—particularly Twitter—plays a crucial role in facilitating disaster communication between the government and the public. This study aims to analyze how two Indonesian government agencies, the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) and the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), utilized Twitter to disseminate disaster-related information following the Cianjur earthquake in November 2022. A qualitative content analysis method was applied to examine the official Twitter accounts @InfoBMKG and @BNPB_Indonesia, using NVivo 12 Plus software. The findings reveal that @InfoBMKG demonstrated higher communication intensity and a stronger focus on earthquake-related issues, both in terms of tweet volume and the use of relevant hashtags, compared to the more general content shared by @BNPB_Indonesia. This study concludes that the frequency, consistency, and relevance of shared content significantly influence the effectiveness of government disaster communication on social media. These insights are expected to contribute to the improvement of risk communication strategies and disaster information management in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the personal branding strategy of Anindytha Arsa (@anindythaarsa) on TikTok, reflecting the growing use of social media for career development and youth empowerment. The research identifies elements of personal branding in her content and explores the meanings behind her messages. Using a qualitative content analysis approach, the study analyzed 20 TikTok videos uploaded between January and October 2024, each exceeding 50,000 views and 500 interactions. The analysis applied Hubert K. Rampersad’s theory of authentic personal branding and Erving Goffman’s dramaturgy. Findings reveal that Anindytha Arsa constructs an image of being independent, educated, religious, and inspirational. Her personal branding is expressed through three aspects: the self-image she highlights, the values she promotes, and her communication style. Consistent content focusing on motivation, collaboration, and women’s empowerment reinforces the impression of authenticity. This research contributes to communication studies by integrating dramaturgy and authentic personal branding theories to explain how TikTok functions as a performative space for authentic self-presentation and empowerment narratives. In conclusion, Anindytha Arsa’s TikTok content functions not only as a means of strengthening her identity but also as a strategic career tool that leverages authenticity and educational value to foster closer engagement with her audience.

Abstract

The use of Hindia's song Membasuh on the TikTok platform has given rise to various forms of User Generated Content (UGC) that share similar narratives, particularly in expressing emotions, life experiences, and social awareness values in the digital space. This study aims to analyze the patterns of interaction and meaning of communication formed in the comment section of the UGC, in order to understand how users construct shared meaning through participatory culture on social media. The approach used is qualitative with a netnography method. Data was collected from two UGC contents with the highest interaction rates and processed using two web-based tools, namely Apify Consol to extract comments and Voyant Tools to analyze the text. Furthermore, the data was analyzed using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis combined with Miles and Huberman's model through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that interactions in the comments section form two main themes, namely personal experience reflection and emotional support. In conclusion, the comments section on UGC Membasuh acts as a digital social space that encourages self-expression, empathy, and interconnection among users, while also confirming that music functions as a medium of emotional communication and a means of social interaction in today's digital culture.
