Abstract

This study aims to analyze the form and meaning of the use of mixed codes in the viral video content of the Governor of West Java, Dedi Mulyadi, entitled "Naughty Children Brought to Military Barracks". The approach used is qualitative descriptive with literature study techniques, see and note techniques on videos uploaded on @dedimulyadiofficial TikTok account. The results of the study show that the code mix used is a mixture of inward codes, in the form of a combination of formal Indonesian and informal spoken language. This mixed-code strategy is not only linguistic, but also reflects a political communication strategy that is populist, paternalistic, and responsive to digital audiences. Dedi Mulyadi positions himself as an authority figure who is close to the people, especially families and children, by using simple, persuasive, and emotional language. Mix code serves as a tool to build a symbolic relationship between leaders and society and form an image of a leader who is friendly, active, and down-to-earth. These findings show that in a digital space like TikTok, language becomes an important instrument in the construction of political image and effective public communication.

Abstract

AbstractThis study analyzes the construction of meaning in environmental communication within the marine debris crisis in Bagan Kuala Village, Serdang Bedagai Regency. The novelty of this research lies in its emphasis on the role of the family as the primary agent for instilling ecological values, moving beyond the structural approaches that have thus far been dominant. Using a qualitative case study method through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, four main findings were identified: public misconceptions that waste in rivers strengthens the soil and that waste in the sea will disappear on its own; environmental communication that is merely ceremonial and unsustainable; differential meanings of waste among social groups; and community behavioral patterns reliant on external initiatives (dependency model). The study concludes that environmental communication strategies need to be directed into participatory and sustainable programs, with the family as the foundation for building independent ecological awareness. Keywords: environmental communication, family, marine debris, dependency behavior, ecological awareness

Abstract

This study explores the utilization of the Instagram account @pesona.indonesia by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf) in building Indonesia’s tourism image in the digital communication era. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research analyzes visual content, narratives, and user interactions over the past three months. The findings reveal that the account effectively applies new media principles such as digitalization, interactivity, and democratization. The content strategy goes beyond merely delivering information; it creates compelling visual experiences, reinforces cultural identity, and fosters audience engagement. High levels of user participation through comments, likes, and content sharing indicate successful two-way communication that shapes a positive perception of Indonesia as a tourism destination. These findings emphasize the strategic role of social media in tourism promotion and cultural diplomacy within the digital sphere.

Abstract

This study aims to explore Malaysian employers’ insights regarding the graduate employability and work readiness of young university graduates, exploring how employability skills required by employers can be aligned with the skills taught at the university level. Moreover, the objective of this study was to examine the insight provided by employers regarding the readiness of young graduates for the workforce in Malaysia. Through a qualitative method, the data was gathered by conducting in-depth interviews with 23 employers in high-level management positions within both public and private organizations. The findings revealed that universities serve as a place where students can refine their cognitive abilities and enhance crucial skills such as communication, critical thinking, leadership, character development, and creativity. Although university graduates are not yet considered work-ready, universities have started revising courses and programs that link to practice-based knowledge to meet the industrial demand. These findings carry implications for educational institutions to understand industrial requirements, enabling students to adapt professionally and socially to workplace transformations beyond the campus environment.

Abstract

The development of digital technology is now occurring across various fields, including banking services. Changes in consumer behavior that increasingly desire fast, efficient, and technology-based services become both a challenge and an opportunity for the banking industry to innovate. The main problem raised in this research is how digital technology affects the transformation of banking services and forms new patterns of social interaction between banks and customers, especially among the younger generation. This study aims to examine the utilization of digital technology in banking services through a case study of Blu by BCA Digital, a digital bank that operates fully online without physical branch offices. The method used is a descriptive case study with a qualitative approach referring to Andreas Hepp’s theory of mediatization. Data were collected through secondary sources such as journal articles, official pages, Blu’s social media posts, and observations of Blu’s application features and interface. The results indicate that Blu by BCA Digital not only facilitates financial activities but also mediates social practices, shapes new habits in financial management, and creates a digitally based social structure. The mediatization process is visible from two aspects: materialization through the use of technology and digital infrastructure, and institutionalization through the emergence of new norms and expectations in financial services. In conclusion, Blu is not merely a financial aid tool but also an agent of change that reflects a paradigm shift in social interactions around banking, also supported by adaptive public regulations and policies responsive to the developments of the digital era.
