Abstract

This research investigates the dissemination of hoax content related to the 2024 Indonesian General Election (#Pemilu2024) on TikTok, highlighting the platform's role in the spread of disinformation. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining a literature review with primary data collected from TikTok via web scraping and secondary data sourced from Turnbackhoaks.id and media reports. Content and message analysis, along with Naïve Bayes classification, were employed to investigate the types of hoaxes, their dissemination patterns, and audience responses. Data triangulation ensured validity and reliability. Findings revealed a concerning prevalence of political hoaxes, including black campaigns and attempts to manipulate public opinion, rapidly spread by TikTok's short-form video format. The Naïve Bayes method classified comments on #Pemilu2024 TikTok videos with an accuracy rate of 87.37%. After preprocessing, 414 comments were analyzed, comprising 127 negative, 237 positive, and 50 neutral comments. The Naïve Bayes method effectively predicts sentiment in TikTok comments related to #Pemilu2024. The analysis reveals that social media videos can easily influence the Indonesian people without verifying information on official websites.

Abstract

This study investigates the transformative practices of data journalism in Indonesian hyperlocal media post-COVID-19, focusing on Nexteen Media and Tutura.id in Central Sulawesi. Through in-depth interviews with editorial leaders, data journalists, and data visualization staff, this study examines the development of these practices. Findings suggest that both outlets leveraged the pandemic to innovate with data-driven reporting. Nexteen Media developed interactive data visualizations to engage younger audiences, while Tutura.id prioritized verified, narrative data reporting to enhance credibility. Both maintained traditional news values, such as geographic proximity and novelty, to attract audience attention. Despite challenges like limited data access and insufficient technical skills, both outlets remain committed to advancing data journalism. This research fills a gap in the literature on data journalism in Indonesian hyperlocal media. Theoretically, it affirms the relevance of traditional news values in the digital era. Practically, it recommends technical skills training and advocacy for open data access to strengthen credibility and impact in local journalism.

Abstract

Kota Tua Padang, as a city branding icon, has great potential as a historical and cultural tourism destination, but the government's efforts in branding this area are still not optimal. The Padang Heritage Community, through programs such as the Padang Heritage Walk, plays an important role in increasing tourist interest in the history and culture as well as the branding of Kota Tua Padang. This research aims to deeply understand how the Padang Heritage Community conducts city branding through the Padang Heritage Walk program and analyze the persuasive messages conveyed. This research uses a case study approach by collecting data through interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzing the data qualitatively. The results show that Padang Heritage Community, through the Padang Heritage Walk program, has played an important role in the city branding process of Kota Tua Padang. They have succeeded in reviving this historical area through interactive and educational activities, as well as building a positive image of the area as a tourist destination rich in historical and cultural values. For the persuasive messages delivered by the Padang Heritage Community, they have successfully created a positive impact on the image of Kota Tua Padang as a historical and cultural tourist destination.

Abstract

Political dynasties have emerged as a significant concern in Indonesian politics, particularly in the context of the 2024 presidential election. This study aims to analyze the representation of political dynasties in editorial cartoons published by the Kompas daily newspaper during the 2024 Presidential Election period. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis, this study examines four editorial cartoons published between October 19, 2023, and February 10, 2024, focusing on their denotative, connotative, and mythical meanings. The results show that the cartoons represent power and dominance through the manipulation of visual size, contain criticism of the political system through various symbols such as tornadoes and the Constitutional Court building wrapped in an octopus, and depict society through various crowd expressions that reflect Indonesian pluralism. The research findings identify three main myths: the myth of power and political elites that reflects the Javanese cultural concept of centralized authority; myths related to money politics that represent the influence of economic power; and the myth of democracy without people that highlights low party identification among voters. This study demonstrates how editorial cartoons use symbolism, exaggeration, distortion, stereotypes, caricatures, and humor to deliver sharp political criticism. This research contributes to understanding how editorial cartoons function as an effective medium for social criticism by visually representing important issues in the Indonesian democratic process, inviting readers to reflect on the challenges of democracy while encouraging improvements toward a more substantive political system.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of organizational communication strategies and organizational commitment on extra-campus member loyalty. The method used is a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis involving 100 members from three organizations in Mataram.

In addition, organizational commitment positively affected member loyalty, with an R Square value of 55.4%. Further analysis showed that the combination of communication strategies and organizational commitment contributed significantly to member loyalty, with an R Square value of 63.7%. These findings emphasize the importance of effective communication and commitment in increasing the loyalty of extra-campus organization members. This research is expected to provide practical recommendations for developing better communication strategies in extra-campus organizations and encourage increased member engagement and satisfaction.

Abstract

Cancel culture has become a significant influence in Indonesia’s digital entertainment sphere. This study investigates how the cancel culture surrounding the Indonesian remake of A Business Proposal emerges and diffuses across social media networks. This study aims to identify network structures, central actors, and the dissemination of moral discourse among users.  This study uses a social network analysis approach supported by sentiment and lexical analyses from 515 tweets, which were harvested using a Python-based script from the 1st of January until the 19th of February 2025, and visualized using Gephi. Data were cleaned (deduplication, language filtering, token cleaning), a user–interaction network was constructed, and centrality plus community detection were applied. The findings reveal five major clusters and a zero betweenness value, indicating strong interconnectedness and the absence of intermediaries. The dominant cluster, led by kdrama_menfess, amplified evaluative narratives shaped by fandom identity and cultural expectations. Sentiment is largely neutral, with salient negative cues tied to casting and adaptation quality. Cancel culture here functions as networked moral regulation driven by fandom solidarity and enabled by Computer-Mediated Communication within Castells’ Network Society. The findings clarify how audience expectations, affect, and network structure jointly shape acceptance of local adaptations, offering practical cues for casting, promotion, and community management in Indonesia’s film industry.

Abstract

Over the past decade, the United States has experienced a significant and consistent increase in the number of individuals identifying as transgender. According to data from 2013, approximately 3.5% of Americans identified as transgender, whereas by 2022, this figure had risen to 7.2%, representing an estimated 20 million individuals. The U.S. government has implemented a series of policies that restrict the rights of transgender groups, as depicted in media coverage. This research aims to analyze the framing differences in news articles regarding restrictions on the rights of transgender groups following Executive Orders No. 14168, 14173, 14183, and 14201. Moreover, this study draws on data from Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya by analyzing three news articles from each outlet, employing Robert M. Entman's framing analysis. The study found that Al Jazeera emphasized the social aspect of the issue and advocated for the protection of vulnerable groups. In contrast, Al Arabiya framed the issue from a more sociological perspective, critically addressing topics that diverge from dominant traditional norms, particularly those related to politeness and the efficiency of public institutions. This framing reflects Al Arabiya's comparatively conservative orientation, characterized by its critique of gender ideology. The different analysis results show that the way each media form frames is based on its cultural and ideological orientation.

Abstract

Toxic relationships, characterized by patterns of domination, manipulation, and recurrent conflict, can significantly damage individuals’ emotional well-being and shape unhealthy attachment styles. However, research gaps remain regarding how young adults who have experienced toxic romantic relationships reflect on their attachment patterns and how these patterns evolve in subsequent relationships. This research aims to explore the experiences of young adults who have survived toxic relationships and to understand how these experiences influenced their attachment styles and interpersonal communication patterns. Using a qualitative approach with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), data were collected through semi-structured interviews with three informants aged 24–32 years who had ended toxic relationships at least one year prior. The results reveal that all informants initially experienced positive communication and affection with their partners, but later faced controlling, aggressive, or manipulative behaviors that led to insecure attachment styles characterized by fear, dependence, and lack of autonomy. The research concludes that toxic relationships leave a strong impact on attachment styles and negatively affect the victims’ mental well-being. However, further analysis of interview data reveals that individuals can develop healthier patterns when they gain awareness and engage in more constructive communication in future relationships. These findings have both theoretical and practical implications to enrich understanding of Attachment Theory in the context of toxic romantic relationships among young adults and offer valuable insights for counselors, therapists, and educators to support survivors in rebuilding secure, healthy interpersonal relationships.

Abstract

The Suku Anak Dalam (SAD) in Jambi is a remote indigenous community that continues to uphold ancestral traditions, including animistic beliefs, while facing complex social and economic challenges. Various empowerment programs have been implemented, yet their effectiveness remains limited, particularly in terms of communication. Top-down communication patterns used by stakeholders often overlook local needs, aspirations, and Indigenous knowledge, which should serve as the basis for development rooted in local wisdom. This study examines how communication patterns and stakeholder involvement influence the social solidarity of the SAD community. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 107 respondents through surveys, in-depth interviews, and participatory observation, and analyzed with SMART PLS 4.0. The findings show that communication patterns significantly shape the level of social solidarity among the SAD. Stakeholders do not have a direct influence on social solidarity; however, they contribute indirectly by enhancing community participation, which subsequently affects social cohesion. The key factor reinforcing social solidarity is the communication pattern itself. These results highlight that traditional and modern forms of communication and interaction play a more effective role in strengthening social cohesion within the SAD than direct stakeholder interventions.

Abstract

Based on previous research, Situ Bolang is well-suited for the application of the agroedutourism concept. This article explores how the internet can enhance Situ Bolang tourism's public recognition through digital storytelling, which necessitates a compelling narrative to showcase its advantages and attract the interest of potential visitors to visit Situ Bolang. Moreover, the internet has developed digital platforms that can be utilised to enhance the brand positioning of the Situ Bolang agroedutourism area through storytelling. Therefore, the research problem raised is strengthening the brand positioning of Situ Bolang agroedutourism in developing sustainable tourism based on storytelling using digital platforms. In terms of research methodology, this study employed both experimental and participant observation methods. Each approach utilises a SWOT analysis to describe the storytelling strategy. First, a data-driven storytelling strategy describes the strengths and advantages of using the Agroedutourism concept. Second, the philanthropic storytelling strategy explains the development of the idea into a tourist destination that the whole family can visit. Third, a customer-led storytelling strategy addresses the existing threat related to damaged road access. The implementation of all three strategies, as showcased in a YouTube video featuring a character named Bastian, highlights the uniqueness, facilities, and attractions to enjoy at Situ Bolang, as well as conducting interviews to gather testimonials from visitors. This condition certainly strengthens Situ Bolang's brand positioning as a suitable destination for families, thanks to the numerous activities available.
