Abstract

This study aims to develop a digital communication model to enhance public trust in election monitoring in Magelang Regency, classified as a high-risk area in the 2024 elections. Using a qualitative method with a case study approach, involving observation, interviews, and documentation, the research focuses on creating a communication model that effectively increases public trust. The findings reveal that digital communication implemented by Bawaslu through social media is more effective in engaging the public, but synchronization with the website requires improvement to ensure better information transparency. Website management is centrally integrated to facilitate maintenance and address server issues, with hosting responsibilities handled at the national level, while local branches are limited to content management without access to modify the website. This study recommends a digital communication model that provides practical guidelines for creating digital content to strengthen public trust in election monitoring institutions.

Abstract

Adolescent reproductive health and marriage readiness remains a significant issue in Indonesia, where one in nine girls marry before the age of 18, often with adverse health, social and educational impacts. To address these challenges, innovative approaches are needed, including the use of social media to provide easily accessible premarital education and health promotion. This research examines the role of the Instagram account @siapnikah_official in improving adolescent health literacy and preparing young individuals for marriage through digital engagement. This research aims to explore how @siapnikah_official provides premarital education, engages its audience, and promotes health awareness among teenagers. Using a qualitative descriptive methodology, this study collected data through in-depth interviews and content analysis of the account's posts, stories, and interactive features. The findings show that @siapnikah_official effectively uses Instagram features to disseminate important health information, encourage interactive learning, and promote positive behavior change. The use of visually appealing content, easy-to-understand stories, and active audience engagement strategies have contributed significantly to its success in addressing issues such as early marriage and reproductive health literacy. However, challenges remain, particularly in measuring audience acceptance and assessing the long-term impact of its health promotion efforts. This study underscores the potential of digital platforms as tools for strategic health communication and adolescent education. This study highlights the importance of integrating social media into public health initiatives to address pressing social issues, paving the way for further research on optimizing digital interventions for sustainable outcomes.

Abstract

This study employs Roland Barthes semiotic approach to analyze the teenage love story in the film You Are the Apple of My Eye, focusing on the concepts of denotation, connotation, and myth. The aim of this research is to understand how the film constructs the meaning of teenage love through signs that encompass denotation, connotation, and social myths. This topic was chosen due to the important role that film plays in shaping adolescents' perceptions of emotional first love. The method used is qualitative semiotic analysis, which examines the visual elements, dialogue, and situations that portray the teenage love experience. The film employs cultural symbols that not only depict young love but also reinforce the social myth of first love as an unforgettable experience. The findings indicate that the film’s elements effectively combine denotative and connotative meanings, reflecting the emotional dynamics and conflicts of teenage love, while simultaneously reinforcing the myth of first love as a pivotal moment in life. This research contributes to cultural semiotic studies by providing insights into how popular media shapes and reinforces social myths through representations of teenage love.
