Abstract

Indonesia has one of football's biggest fan bases. This study explores public reactions to Indonesia losing its U-20 World Cup hosting status. It aims to: 1) trace responses on Twitter, 2) analyze reactions from national figures opposing the Israeli team, and 3) examine public sentiments towards FIFA's influence. The removal sparked mixed reactions, affecting the image of various political figures in Indonesia. Data was gathered through content analysis of 5,000 tweets from March 30 to April 7, 2023, focusing on comments related to the U-20 World Cup. The findings indicated that the public predominantly criticized political figures who opposed hosting the event, mainly due to the controversy surrounding the Israeli national team’s participation. The 2023 FIFA cancellation coincided with a significant political moment in Indonesia, where GP and IWK, from the PDI-P party, opposed the Israeli team's participation in FIFA, citing support for Palestine. In contrast, ET, as both PSSI chairman and Minister of State-Owned Enterprises, aimed to maintain Indonesia's reputation in the football community. This rejection led to public backlash against GP, ET, and IWK, negatively impacting their popularity, particularly GP's presidential electability. The lack of a detailed explanation behind FIFA's decision highlights its global authority in football

Abstract

Along with the cyber war and media manipulation under government control since the Russian military operation in Ukraine in February 2022, the Russian government has blocked public access to popular Western social media, such as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. As a result, a Russia-based social media called Telegram gained popularity and is used by pro-Russian military bloggers to spread awareness of the issue that was currently in focus among society. This research seeks to explain the motivation underlying the dissemination of information on @maryananaumova Telegram channel. By utilizing content analysis methods, authors identified recurring content patterns dominated by accusations and expressions of hatred towards Ukraine, as well as Russia’s image branding narrative throughout April-May 2023. The findings of this research demonstrate that Maryana's national identity and political affiliation exert influence in shaping the narrative on the Telegram channel, which tends to prioritize the dignity of pro-Russian groups.

Abstract

In the universities, there has been limited attention on how victims secure evidence to challenge sexual harassment. The study explored the documentation and ethics of audio-visual evidence of sexual harassment in Nigerian and Ghanaian universities. Through a qualitative approach, the BBC Sex4Grade video and Nairaland discourse of sexual harassment in public domain were purposively selected. The data were subjected to content analyses using ethical quandaries. The need for evidence birthed the premediated documentations through institutional and informal supports. The use of smart cameras without the consent of the male lecturers heralded ethical questioning. Interpretation of gestures were subjective while all scenarios shared alternative meanings. The visual clips revealed disparities and contextual negotiation in social construction of sexual harassment between female students and their suspected lecturers The evidence did not satisfy all ethical conditions, yet the visual evidence remained the last resort to justice since legal framework was weakened by patriarchal system. However, Thus, the installation of CCTV at workplace with transparency with informed consent of the employees would prevent sexual harassment which strengthen legal framework and female's proactiveness in seeking legal redress with acceptable ethical milieu.

Abstract

The World Information Order otherwise known as the New World Information Order (NWIO) can also be referred to or viewed as the New World Information and Communication Order (NWICO). The term or concept describes the aspirations and yearnings of the Global South for the establishing of a world where there is democratisation of the international communication system and a rebalancing of the global information flow channels. This conceptual study sought to reassess the concept in light of the development and advancement in technologies including social media – where information flow has been liberalised in diverse ways. The discourse is built around and/or aligned to a democratic liberal approach in respect of the use of social media in the digitally evolving world. The researchers argued that social media reinvigorated the quest by the Global South to ensure information flow worldwide and that is an indication of a fight for democratisation of the communication system. The study concluded that though the traditional media circle gradually tilts to all-encompassing communication and information in the world, the pace is slow and that gap created is now (in some dimension) bridged by social media platforms – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter (now X) and many more.

Abstract

The global burden of non-communicable diseases is increasing daily. Non-communicable diseases like hypertension, cancer, and diabetes have caused the death of more people in 21st-century sub-Saharan Africa than it has ever done. Also, the world celebrates 100 years of insulin, however, many, children and people in the Sub-Sahara with type 1 and type 2 diabetes die for lack of access to insulin or diabetes medications. Worse yet, the present status of diabetes in Sub-Saharan Africa is not well-known. The article uses content analysis and agenda-setting theory to examine Geoff Marsh's documentary on diabetes in Sub-Saharan Africa.. The documentary was produced with the support of AstraZeneca, Medtronic, and copyrighted by Springer Nature LTD 2021 (the video was downloaded from YouTube). The analysis of the documentary linked the death toll resulting from diabetes to a change in lifestyle and the government's meagre budget for the health sector in Sub- Saharan Africa. Filmmakers in the Sub-Saharan region should advocate and prioritize the maintenance of a healthy personal diet, engage in regular physical exercise, and maintain a normal body weight in their films. Sponsored radio and television programs focusing on managing and preventing the disease are needed across countries in the sub-Sahara

Abstract

This paper explored the communication dynamics surrounding migration from Nigeria, popularly referred to as Japa syndrome, especially from the South-South region of the country, where some residents engage in illegal migration. The study investigated the information sources, awareness level, and potential for deterrence of danger-related messaging among regional residents. This study utilizes Knowledge Gap and Agenda Setting theories to analyze the risks of illegal migration. Knowledge Gap theory suggests that access to information varies among groups, impacting their views and decisions. Concurrently, agenda-setting theory highlights how media shapes public opinion and government responses by focusing on dangers, impacts, and root causes of migration. Data collected from questionnaires and a Question Guide indicates that residents primarily obtain migration information through social media, TV, radio, films, friends, and newspapers. Despite high awareness of the dangers of illegal migration, this didn't significantly deter residents from considering such journeys. It’s recommended that media messages about migration should be clearer and include not only the risks but also the underlying causes of migration aspirations and tangible alternatives. Comprehensive communication strategies should address both the dangers and motivations behind illegal migration.

Abstract

In the context of rising urban inequality, this article explores the potential of place-based approaches to urban development, using the Prodamas program in Kediri, Indonesia, as a case study. Prodamas is a city-funded initiative that allocates direct funding to neighborhood units (RT) to enable communities to plan and implement development projects tailored to their specific socio-spatial contexts. This study analyzes policy documents and empirical research on Prodamas, illustrating how it applies place-based principles within a decentralized governance framework in the Global South. It offers insights into how this hyperlocal policy mechanism operates effectively, emphasizing the roles of participatory mechanisms, administrative coordination, and institutional adaptation. Prodamas helps people get involved in their community, encourages cooperation between different sectors, and supports local ideas for urban development. This empowers the community in shaping their urban environment. However, it faces governance challenges like limited community capacity, regulatory rigidity, and political vulnerability.. This paper argues that long-term and scalable place-based initiatives require financial commitment and an institutional ecosystem that fosters adaptive learning and power sharing. It deepens the theoretical and practical discourse on how place-based strategies can advance effective and equitable urban governance in complex and decentralized situations.

Abstract

This study explores the role of development communication in fostering stakeholder engagement in Arjowinangun Village’s batik tourism initiatives..Researchers aim to position the village as a central hub for batik tulis and establish Woro Srikandi as a leading brand in Pacitan Regency. Using a qualitative, phenomenological approach within development communication, the team gathered data through participant observation, FGDs, and analysis of key documents, including 2023 village data and the RPJMDes (2019-2023). Twelve key informants contributed insights, including village officials, community leaders, youth, artisans, business owners, and government representatives. The study identifies three significant outcomes: (1) the successful integration of batik tulis into the village’s development plan by the local government and Bumdes, (2) the establishment of Woro Srikandi batik tulis as an educational tourism destination, and (3) increased tourism awareness among residents, which has fostered the growth of a creative economy that supports the batik tulis tourism initiative. The findings highlight that development communication serves as a strategic tool for building inclusive discourse, enhancing participation, and cultivating community identity. These insights are crucial for promoting sustainable tourism and the creative economy in rural areas.

Abstract

Political gimmicks have become a trendy yet controversial term in the 2024 presidential election contest. Instead of conveying the vision and mission of presidential candidates, political gimmicks only present and show skin packaging rather than substance. This research aims to reveal the practices of political gimmicks on social media in the 2024 Indonesian presidential election contestation using critical discourse analysis as a method. This method is used to reveal ideology and power relations from gimmicks that appear on social media. Data collection in this study used documentation techniques, in the form of data collection from social media X during the period December 2023 - February 2024. The study's findings demonstrate that the Republic of Indonesia's 2024 presidential and vice-presidential candidates' political communication efforts on social media X are mired in creating symbols disconnected from meaningful and substantial ideas. Drawing on Erving Goffman’s dramaturgical theory, this study frames political gimmicks as "front stage" performances designed to manipulate voter perceptions, obscuring substantive political agendas. Political communication for presidential candidates has shifted from addressing social issues and strengthening democracy to becoming manipulative tactics aimed at winning votes

Abstract

Cancel culture is an act of mass cancellation or boycott experienced by public figures. Arawinda Kirana is one of the public figures who experienced cancel culture. She is considered to have committed an act of infidelity, which most netizens think is wrong. This research aims to reveal the form of power relations in the cancel culture phenomenon in social media. In Arawinda's case, data will be taken as screenshots in social media posts; then, a qualitative approach will be used to examine the data. This study found that cancel culture has a form of power relations between netizens and their targets. The netizen has the knowledge that tries to dominate the party, which is considered wrong. Generally, society is dominated by beliefs that believe that loyalty in intimate relationships is only in the form of monogamy. Infidelity as a form of non-monogamous relationship will be the target of public hatred. Therefore, if there are members of the public who are public figures, they will receive criticism, one of which is through cancel culture. The study employs thematic content analysis to classify collected data, revealing that cancel culture is driven by the belief that monogamous relationships are the only valid form.
