Abstract

Child marriage remains a significant social issue in South Kalimantan Province, particularly in Banjar Regency. This study aims to analyze family communication orientation and child marriage preferences among Banjar ethnic communities in Keliling Benteng Ulu Village. Using Family Communication Pattern Theory (FCPT) as the main theoretical framework to understand family interaction dynamics, a qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews with six informants (parents and childrens). The results indicate that family communication is predominantly characterized by a high conformity orientation, rooted in Islamic values and local cultural norms, positioning parents as the primary authority in family decision-making. However, this conformity orientation has adapted to contemporary social conditions through the adoption of more flexible communication strategies, such as the give and take approach and the use of local wisdom during family interactions. Child marriage preferences are constructed through shared meanings that emphasize cultural–religious legitimacy and economic readiness. This study concludes that efforts to prevent child marriage will be more effective when they are designed by strengthening family communication and integrating local cultural values, rather than relying solely on top-down normative approaches.

Abstract

This study examines how the graduation process at SMK Citra Bangsa Mandiri Purwokerto is represented through video uploads on social media, and how such visualizations construct a new meaning of graduation. The main issue addressed is the shift in the meaning of graduation when academic symbols typically used at the university level are applied in the context of secondary schools. To address this issue, the study employs a qualitative visual analysis approach of the videos’ aesthetic elements, such as composition, lighting, camera angles, and presentation structure, which are then combined with an interpretation of social meanings derived from public responses. The results show that the dominance of academic symbols, cinematic visual aesthetics, and structured event packaging create a graduation representation that resembles a university commencement, thereby generating a new reality accepted by the audience without questioning the vocational context of the school. These findings highlight the capability of social media to influence how educational institutions present themselves and how the public assigns meaning to educational symbols. The study concludes that in the digital era, graduation is no longer merely an academic ritual but has become a visual construction that follows the logic of attention and social media aesthetics.

Abstract

This study examines how Banjarmasin Post, a local online news outlet in South Kalimantan, frames waste management as a topic of public education in North Banjarmasin. Using Robert N. Entman's framing analysis model, this research analyzes three news articles published by the outlet in April 2025. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach focused entirely on textual analysis, systematically applying Entman's four framing elements—problem definition, causal diagnosis, moral judgment, and treatment recommendation—to each article. The findings show that all three articles assign moral value to waste management efforts and include treatment recommendations consistent with public education goals. However, the framing consistently portrays the government and schools as the primary drivers of change, while overlooking structural barriers such as inadequate infrastructure and weak policy enforcement. The coverage of SDN Pengambangan 5 exhibits a characteristic individual responsibility frame, which places the burden of environmental change on individuals and educational institutions rather than on systemic actors. Overall, Banjarmasin Post's reporting remains event-driven and lacks the critical depth needed to sustain meaningful public education on waste management. These findings have implications for how local media can strengthen its role as an environmental communication platform.

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive mapping of the global literature on organizational culture transformation during the 2015–2025 decade, conducted through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) referencing PRISMA protocols and applied bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer software. Out of 683 articles that successfully passed the inclusion criteria selection, an in-depth analysis revealed that research discourse over the past decade remains heavily concentrated on a technical-instrumental paradigm, treating organizational culture as a managerial variable that can be manipulated to enhance operational efficiency, fulfill regulatory compliance, and optimize workplace safety aspects. The more meaning rich interpretive perspective, though beginning to emerge, is still in a marginal position and has not yet achieved epistemic dominance. Nevertheless, an increasing substantial contribution from developing countries, including Indonesia, should be noted. This research clearly identifies a significant conceptual gap between the general terminology of "organizational culture change" and a deep understanding of the communicative mechanisms that actually underpin and shape this evolution. Based on these findings, the study advocates for the development of a more communication-study-oriented theoretical framework. This approach is expected to integrate theories such as the CCO (Communication Constitutes Organization) perspective, narrative analysis, and other interpretive frameworks to achieve a more holistic understanding of how the inherent meaning of organizational transformation processes is actively constructed, maintained through interaction, and often contested within the context of everyday organizational practices.

Abstract

Sexual violence in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) remains a structural problem shaped by unequal power relations, institutional silence, and limited reporting mechanisms. This study examines how the digital public sphere transformed collective consciousness in the Ndholo Kusumo Islamic Boarding School case in Pati Regency, Indonesia. Using a qualitative intrinsic case study, data were collected from online news reports, social media discussions, official government statements, and relevant secondary documents published between January 2024 to May 2026. Data were analyzed using framing analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The findings show that digital visibility enabled the case to gain wider public attention and challenged institutional silence. Public discourse shifted from protecting institutional legitimacy toward demands for victim protection, institutional accountability, and systemic reform. This transformation involved interconnected processes of digital visibility, framing contestation, counter-public discourse, collective consciousness, collective action framing, and institutional accountability. The study demonstrates that the digital public sphere functions as a contested communicative arena in which marginalized voices gain visibility, public meanings are negotiated, and demands for accountability are articulated. The findings contribute to understanding how digital communication can strengthen collective consciousness and public participation in addressing sexual violence within religious educational institutions.

Abstract

This article investigates the presence and patterns of media bias in BBC News Indonesia’s coverage of the September 2025 mass poisoning linked to the Free Nutritious Meal (Makan Bergizi Gratis, MBG) program. By conducting a qualitative framing analysis of Entman's model (defining the problems, diagnosing the cause, making moral judgments, and recommending a treatment) on three BBC News Indonesia articles, the study identifies systematic uses of source selection bias, labeling and word choice, and picture selection bias. The findings show that BBC News Indonesia framed the crisis as a structural government failure by prioritizing critical civil society voices and using emotionally evocative visuals of victims. While these findings suggest a non-neutral narrative, the author acknowledges that they also serve a watchdog role by demanding institutional accountability during a public health emergency. Ultimately, the text illustrates how BBC News Indonesia can shape public perception of state policy through strategic editorial curation. This study helps establish a framework for future research to distinguish between harmful biases (distorting the fact) and informative biases.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze doomscrolling as a digital communication practice that emerges in conditions of over-communication and to explain its role in shaping collective anxiety in Indonesia’s digital public sphere. This study employs a qualitative approach using netnography to examine conversations on the X platform during a period of heightened economic discourse marked by a decline in the IHSG, a rise in gold prices, and fluctuations in cryptocurrency assets. Data were collected through keyword-based searches and analyzed using thematic analysis of 96 key posts and their interactive responses. The results indicate that doomscrolling operates through the repetition of messages, the amplification of fear, and crisis narratives without resolution, thereby shaping public anxiety as a communicative effect of an information overload rather than as an individual clinical condition. These findings underscore the importance of communication strategies that are timely, contextual, and solution-oriented in mitigating the spiral of digital anxiety. This study is limited to a single platform and a specific observation period. Therefore, further research is recommended to expand the platform context and employ a mixed-methods approach. The novelty of this research lies in its focus, which does not address hoaxes or individual trauma, but rather positions anxiety as a product of excessive communication within the digital public sphere.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji komunikasi emosional dan pengungkapan diri dalam lirik lagu album Nadin Amizah Untuk Dunia, Cinta, dan Kotornya melalui kerangka analisis semiotik Roland Barthes. Album ini merupakan salah satu rilisan musik independen paling berpengaruh di Indonesia pada tahun 2023, yang secara autentik dan mendalam mewakili pengalaman emosional generasi muda. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan menggunakan kerangka semiotik dua tingkat Barthes yang meliputi denotasi, konotasi, dan mitos. Teori pengungkapan diri Sidney Jourard dan konsep komunikasi emosional dalam studi interpersonal berfungsi sebagai landasan teoritis. Lima lagu dipilih sebagai objek analisis utama: 'Semua Aku Dirayakan', 'Rayuan Perempuan Gila', 'Berpayung Tuhan', 'Tawa', dan 'Ah'. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelima lagu tersebut mewakili dimensi pengungkapan diri yang mendalam yang meliputi perasaan, opini, dan kepribadian, sekaligus mengkomunikasikan spektrum emosional yang luas mulai dari kegembiraan yang naif, kemarahan yang terpendam, harapan transendental, kesedihan, hingga penerimaan diri. Pada tingkat mitologis, album ini mereproduksi sekaligus menantang konstruksi budaya mengenai perempuan, cinta, dan spiritualitas dalam masyarakat Indonesia kontemporer. Studi ini berkontribusi untuk memperluas kajian komunikasi musik sebagai arena pengungkapan diri dan ekspresi identitas emosional di kalangan pemuda Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the political communication strategies employed by the Edy–Rendy ticket through Facebook during the 2024 Kutai Kartanegara local election. It focuses on how the candidates constructed political messages, cultivated their political image, mobilized electoral support, and projected proximity to local communities through the Facebook account “Edi Rendi Etam Togoli.” Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study conducts a content analysis of campaign posts published between 1 October and 26 November 2024. The units of analysis consist of Facebook campaign content, including captions, digital posters, short-form videos, campaign activity documentation, electoral information, and posts featuring interactions with local communities. The findings reveal four dominant patterns in Edy–Rendy’s political communication strategy: appeals for leadership continuity, personal and emotional endorsements, electoral information, and engagement with local communities. Short-form videos and digital posters enhanced message dissemination while simultaneously portraying the candidates as accessible and stable political figures with visible grassroots support. Their communication style combined emotional, rational, informal, and participatory elements. The findings further demonstrate that Facebook functioned not merely as a campaign information channel but as a space for political image construction, voter mobilization, and narrative management within the local electoral arena. Nevertheless, the analyzed content remained considerably stronger as an instrument of political campaigning and image-building than as a platform for substantive engagement with policy programs.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) and academic concentration among 96 university students who actively use social media. FOMO refers to a pervasive apprehension that others are having rewarding experiences from which one is absent, which drives compulsive social media checking and potentially disrupts learning by lowering concentration during lectures, reading, or assignments (Przybylski et al., 2013). Using a quantitative correlational design, data were collected through a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire measuring FOMO (15 items) and academic concentration (15 items), with the sample size determined using the Lemeshow et al. (1990) formula. Data were analyzed descriptively using Mean ± SD categorization and through simple linear regression using IBM SPSS Statistics. Results showed that both FOMO (M = 41.84, SD = 5.84) and academic concentration (M = 44.02, SD = 3.78) were at moderate levels. Simple linear regression revealed a statistically significant negative relationship between FOMO and academic concentration (B = -0.139, t = -2.124, p = 0.036), with FOMO explaining 4.6% of the variance in academic concentration (R = 0.214, R² = 0.046). These findings indicate that higher FOMO is associated with lower academic concentration, consistent with the Working Memory Model, which explains that social media notifications create extraneous cognitive load that depletes the capacity needed for effective learning. It is concluded that FOMO is a relevant risk factor for academic concentration among social-media-using university students, and future research should examine mediating variables such as sleep quality and learning motivation.
