Abstract

This study documents fact-checker prioritization of political agendas in government-run fact-checking in India and Pakistan. Government fact-checkers in both countries debunked the content critical of the government but failed to mention specific methods and sources of verification. The research also discussed the implications of government-run fact-checking in overall fact-checking practices andnorms. This research also shows that Indian and Pakistani fact-checkers, both government-run and independent, interest areas are confined to issues related to politics, entertainment, sports, health, religion, economics, and international affairs.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of immersive technologies on media engagement and communication in the Nigerian media environment. It aims to assess the current state of immersive technologies in the Nigerian media industry, identifies existing barriers and knowledge gaps, and explores how the adoption of immersive tools enhances media content creation and operational practices. Applying, Uses and Gratification Theory, the research illustrates how audience members engage with media contents to satisfy certain needs. A survey method provides a thorough understanding of the immersive technologies’ effects on media engagement and communication in the Nigerian media space. A multiple regression analysis was carried out to assess the extent to which UGT-based gratification needs predict the use of immersive technology. The model produced an R² of 0.485, indicating that the five gratification constructs accounted for 48.5% of the variance in immersive technology use. The model’s correlation coefficient (R) was 0.696, implying a robust positive relationship between users’ needs and their engagement with immersive media. The study concluded that gratification-driven motivations promote the adoption and use of immersive technologies within media organisations in Nigeria. The results illustrate that the incorporation of immersive media, strengthened by innovative strategies and technological frameworks, significantly enhance content delivery, audience engagement, and internal collaboration. Though the future of immersive technology and its adoption in the Nigerian media space looks promising, its potential to thrive is highly dependent on how the industry tackles user experience concerns. Consequently, positioning immersive platforms should be positioned as vital assets for the advancement of media organisations in Nigeria.

Abstract

With the broader use of social media channels by museums around the globe to engage their audiences, the nature of how cultural institutions in various regional settings utilize these technologies is critical to the communication theory. This study fills the gap of scholarly knowledge on the social media communication of museums in the Arabian Gulf as one of the regions that experience significant cultural and digital transformation due to the efforts such as Saudi Vision 2030 and the national innovation strategies of the UAE. This comparative case study has analysed the twitter/X interaction practices of three major museums: Twitter/X by Ithra (King Abdulaziz Center of world culture) located in Saudi Arabia, Twitter/X by Louvre Abu Dhabi and Twitter/X by the Museum of the Future (MOTF) in the UAE. The data was collected in September-October 2024 and analysed using mixed methods analysis, quantitative engagement and qualitative thematic content analysis. The research question focused on the implications of Twitter activities and content strategies of these museums on audience engagement in their respective institutional and cultural frameworks. The results show unique communication patterns which were influenced by institutional missions and cultural settings of the region. Ithra became the most active, having overall temporal distribution, and the highest level of activity. Louvre Abu Dhabi focused on dialogic communication via replies, whereas thread-based storytelling was favoured by MOTF in the stories of innovation. Thematic analysis shows that cultural approaches including the Arabic literature and Saudi heritage were prioritized by the @Ithra, the art and the cross-cultural dialogue became the priority of the @LouvreAbuDhabi, and technological innovation became the priority of the MOTF.

Abstract

The rise of social apathy in modern society reflects a deeper moral disconnection that calls for renewed ways of engaging with ethical reflection. This study examines how Wind Breaker Anime Season 2 Episode 10 represents Aristotelian virtue ethics as a narrative form of moral imagination within popular culture. Rather than assessing audience impact, this study highlights the representational potential of anime as a medium that recontextualizes classical virtue ethics within modern moral discourse. Employing a qualitative content analysis, the research explores how arete (moral excellence), phronesis (practical wisdom), and eudaimonia (flourishing) are expressed through the characters’ actions and emotional transformations, particularly those of Suzurin. The episode’s portrayal of apology, empathy, forgiveness, and self-acceptance reflects Aristotle’s doctrine of the golden mean and the process of moral habituation, while collective support and the granting of second chances manifest justice and friendship (philia) in a social context. The findings suggest that Wind Breaker articulates the moral possibilities of virtue ethics within contemporary youth narratives, illustrating how classical ethical concepts can be reinterpreted through visual storytelling.

Abstract

This study investigates how The New York Times frames air pollution, a pressing environmental challenge with far-reaching implications. Employing content analysis guided by agenda-setting theory, it examines 53 articles published between July 2024 and September 2024 to understand coverage frequency, thematic focus, framing strategies, policy discussions, and geographic emphasis. Findings reveal a dominance of crisis dreams and health-focused themes, with limited attention to policy solutions and grassroots perspectives. National and international narratives, particularly European ones, overshadow local issues, reflecting biases and coverage. Despite highlighting urgency, the lack of solution-oriented reporting risks fostering public helplessness. The study underscores the need for balanced environmental communication, integrating actionable narratives and diverse stakeholder voices to enhance public engagement and policy advocacy. Limitations, including reliance on a single publication and manual coding, suggest avenues for future research to explore broader media dynamics and diverse environmental topics. This analysis contributes to understanding the media's role in shaping discourse on environmental governance.

Abstract

This study examines how visual bias is articulated in local digital journalism by analysing Radar Cirebon’s Instagram coverage during the 2024 mayoral election in Cirebon, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative content analysis, eighty-two Instagram posts published during the official campaign period were examined using Denis McQuail’s framework of media performance, focusing on presentational features such as personalization, dramatization, stereotyping, juxtaposition, and accuracy. The findings reveal a consistent pattern of visual and textual alignment that favoured the media owner–affiliated candidate, expressed through evaluative captions, aesthetic personalization, and emotionally charged imagery. Rather than manifesting through explicit misinformation, bias operated at the level of representation and interpretation, shaped by both ownership structures and the platform logic of Instagram. Situated within debates on platformization and the political economy of media, the study highlights the particular vulnerability of local journalism in Indonesia, where close proximity between media ownership and political actors can blur editorial boundaries in digital contexts. By repositioning McQuail’s media performance framework within platform-based journalism, this research contributes to visual communication scholarship and underscores the need for stronger ethical safeguards to protect editorial independence in local digital media ecosystems.

Abstract

This research examines the role of Instagram as a platform for digital health communication concerning breastfeeding education in Indonesia. The study centers on four Instagram accounts with diverse orientations: @aimi_asi (a non-profit organization), @momuung.id (a commercial enterprise), and two personal accounts, @stephanieking (breastfeeding and lactation consultant) and @brendashahnaz (healthcare professionals). Utilizing qualitative analysis, the investigation explores the studied social media’s post characteristics, from post content, post form, to post delivery. The results indicate that both institutional and personal accounts actively participate in health education by employing multimodal content, which includes informational posts, instructional videos, and personal narratives. All accounts adopt affective and participatory approaches that blend emotional storytelling with evidence-based information. Specifically, the first account by AIMI ASI emphasizes the economic and environmental sustainability aspects of breastfeeding, whereas Momuung.id combines health awareness with product promotion. In contrast, the personal accounts leverage authenticity and lived experience to craft relatable maternal narratives that enhance emotional connection and foster community engagement. The analysis reveals that these digital platforms exemplify a hybrid communication model that integrates medical knowledge, emotional empathy, and cultural values within the collective contexts of everyday life in Indonesia. This hybrid approach transforms breastfeeding advocacy from a hierarchical public health initiative into a participatory, community oriented dialogue. The study contributes to broadening non-Western perspectives within digital health communication scholarship by highlighting the significance of cultural sensitivity, emotional resonance, and trustbuilding in shaping effective digital health discourse. Ultimately, Instagram functions as both an informational and affective ecosystem that promotes maternal health literacy and facilitates social empowerment through networked communication.
