Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of communication management in overcoming communication barriers experienced by Javanese transmigrants in destination areas, particularly in Lampung Province. The identified barriers are multidimensional, including language differences, cultural gaps, limited access to information, and psychological factors. These barriers have the potential to hinder social integration and the success of the transmigration program if not managed systematically. The research employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method to explore the subjective experiences of transmigrants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, and then analyzed using thematic techniques. The findings reveal that communication management, which includes planning, organizing, implementing, and controlling stages, effectively reduces communication barriers. Strategies applied involve designing messages based on local wisdom, forming social groups as interaction media, implementing participatory communication through village forums and digital platforms, and controlling through monitoring and evaluation. These strategies positively impact increased transmigrant participation, reduced social conflicts, strengthened economic cooperation, and improved self-confidence among transmigrants. This study contributes scientifically to the development of communication for development and intercultural communication, offering a communication management model based on local wisdom that can be adapted to other transmigration areas. The findings are expected to serve as a reference for policymakers and communication practitioners in designing inclusive and sustainable communication strategies.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the widespread use of face filters on the Tiktok platform, which significantly influences how individuals construct their self-image and present themselves through visual communication. The research questions are: (1) how the use of face filters influences the formation of self-image among Tiktok users, and (2) how the use of face filters encourages the emergence of narcissistic communication among users. The purpose of this research is to analyze the impact of face filter use on self-perception and narcissistic communication patterns, and to explain the relationship between digital identity construction and self-presentation practices reinforced by the Tiktok algorithm. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques in the form of content observation, visual analysis of face filter use, and semi-structured interviews with active Tiktok users aged 18–25 who utilize face filters in content creation. Data are analyzed using the Media Effects theory approach and the concept of narcissistic communication to gain a deeper understanding of the phenomenon. The study's findings suggest that the use of face filters triggers the formation of an unrealistic idealized self-image, increases dependence on public validation, and fosters narcissistic communication tendencies such as self-promotion, attention-seeking, and excessive identity curation. Furthermore, TikTok, through its visual features and algorithmic mechanisms, reinforces narcissistic culture by rewarding filtered content with likes, comments, and increased exposure. This research confirms that face filters function not only as aesthetic tools but also as technologies that shape users' digital identities and communication dynamics.

Abstract

Perkembangan media baru, khususnya TikTok, telah mengubah cara individu untuk mengekspresikan diri. Fitur repost menjadi salah satu cara populer bagi penggunanya untuk membagikan konten yang dibuat orang lain dalam linimasa mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami motivasi di balik penggunaan fitur repost TikTok sebagai bentuk pengungkapan diri (self-disclosure) di kalangan Generasi Z. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif, data dikumpulkan melalui observasi dan wawancara semi terstruktur terhadap tiga informan berusia 19-24 tahun yang merupakan mahasiswa Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia yang rutin menggunakan fitur repost TikTok. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa repost bukan hanya aktivitas pasif, melainkan bentuk komunikasi simbolik yang mencerminkan kondisi emosional, pengalaman pribadi, dan identitas sosial pengguna. Aktivitas ini memberikan rasa lega dan mengisyaratkan bahwa pengguna tidak sendirian dalam pengalaman yang dialami. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa repost berfungsi sebagai sarana representasi diri dan validasi emosi, menjadikan TikTok sebagai media reflektif dan sosial, bukan hanya hiburan.

Abstract

Communication in community-based cultural work settings remains insufficiently understood, particularly in explaining how long-term interaction develops into relational closeness while formal work roles remain intact. This study examines the communicative processes underlying relational closeness among local actors involved in Batik Lasem cultural practices. Using a qualitative interpretive approach, data were collected through a focus group discussion with eight batik workers and in-depth interviews with two Batik Lasem business owners. The data were analyzed inductively through thematic analysis and interpreted using Relational Dialectics Theory. The findings show that relational closeness develops through sustained interaction, shared experiences, flexible work practices, and everyday communication that gradually cultivate familiarity, trust, mutual belonging, and family-like relationships. However, relational closeness does not eliminate organizational boundaries, as owners and workers continue to recognize their respective roles and responsibilities. Instead, connectedness and autonomy coexist through culturally embedded communication practices emphasizing harmony, respect, and relational continuity. This study contributes to interpersonal communication scholarship by conceptualizing relational closeness as a dynamic communicative accomplishment rather than an automatic outcome of prolonged interaction. It also extends the application of Relational Dialectics Theory to community-based cultural work settings where interpersonal closeness and structured work relationships are continuously negotiated.

Abstract

Komunikasi menjadi persoalan penting dalam branding desa wisata karena pengelola harus menyampaikan identitas lokal kepada audiens yang berbeda secara budaya, geografis, dan generasional. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis peran akomodasi komunikasi dalam strategi branding Desa Wisata Jangglengan. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan pengumpulan data melalui wawancara terhadap tujuh informan dan observasi selama periode Juni–Agustus 2025. Data dianalisis melalui reduksi, penyajian, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengelola menerapkan strategi convergence, divergence, dan maintenance secara berlapis. Bahasa Indonesia digunakan untuk menjamin keterpahaman audiens lintas daerah, sedangkan bahasa Jawa dan bahasa kekinian mempertahankan identitas lokal sekaligus membangun kedekatan dengan generasi muda. Bahasa Inggris digunakan untuk memfasilitasi komunikasi dengan wisatawan internasional. Branding juga disesuaikan dengan karakter platform: Instagram menonjolkan estetika dan konsistensi identitas visual, sementara TikTok menghadirkan konten yang lebih spontan, aktual, dan relevan bagi pengguna muda. Kolaborasi dengan influencer pariwisata, media nasional, komunitas, dan desa wisata lain memperluas jangkauan sekaligus memperkuat kredibilitas destinasi. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa akomodasi komunikasi dalam branding desa wisata tidak hanya berlangsung melalui penyesuaian bahasa, tetapi juga melalui adaptasi platform dan pemilihan mitra komunikasi yang sesuai dengan identitas destinasi.

Abstract

In the posthuman situations, the most pressing question today is: What should human be? This question frequently crosses our mind because of the frequent paradigm shift of the pedagogy which is widely believed to have transformative role. Human cognitive process goes through a conspicuous evolutionary process as pedagogy negotiates with the changing of time and the diverse minds of human history. Historicity of pedagogy and the human thought always transform the learners. With the advent of cyber technology, humans have given up the millennium old knowledge acquiring process and intensively collaborated with machines and turned into cyborg. Turning into a cyborg is getting accelerated by human’s increasing dependence on technology. Connectivity between man and machine is so intrinsic and nuanced that man is turning into cyborg because of inescapable interdependence of both these sides. This paper will qualitatively explore human-AI symbiosis process which unprecedently impacts and evolutionizes the present-day pedagogy.

Abstract

Communication fragmentation across broadcast, mobile, and social platforms challenges public-service radio to remain accessible, relevant, and institutionally trusted. This study examines how Radio Pakistan Hyderabad’s digital transition is negotiated at the audience level by reinterpreting survey data from 205 listeners in Qasimabad and Latifabad. Employing a qualitative descriptive design supported by secondary descriptive statistics, the analysis reorganises the original data through a media repertoire perspective. The findings show that digital transition expands rather than replaces established listening practices. Hybrid listeners move across radio receivers, FM services, mobile phones, institutional applications, and social platforms according to situational access, everyday routines, and communicative purposes. Mobile phones operate as organising infrastructures that connect otherwise distinct channels, while individual platforms retain differentiated functions related to convenience, information, feedback, and institutional proximity. The study also indicates that the platform carrying radio content and the institution providing credibility are not necessarily identical. Digital platforms facilitate circulation and interaction, yet informational trust may remain anchored in Radio Pakistan Hyderabad. The study conceptualises hybrid listeners as audiences who coordinate cross-platform access while combining technological convenience with institutionally grounded credibility.
