Abstract

The standard of perfection illustrated in Istri Sempurna short story is embodied by a gynoid. However, this portrayal of perfection presents a dilemma in itself. This study focuses on the concept of an ideal life depicted in the short story Istri Sempurna. However, the existing literature review reveals a research gap, specifically that no research has discussed the value of perfection as portrayed in the short story Istri Sempurna through Derrida's perspective.  The data collection technique in this study was carried out by reading and understanding the short story Istri Sempurna several times to obtain an overview of its themes and characters. This study attempts to apply Derrida's deconstruction principles, such as différance and binary opposition, to analyze how meanings in the text can shift and contradict each other. To ensure the validity and reliability of the study, data triangulation was carried out by comparing the results of the text analysis with relevant literature.  The results of the study found that the concept of perfection depicted in Istri Sempurna short story is an ambiguity surrounding the idea of ​​perfection, which shows that what is considered ideal is not necessarily the same as true satisfaction or happiness.  The findings of this study are expected to provide a new perspective on how the notion of perfection is constructed and deconstructed within contemporary Indonesian literature. Future research is recommended to explore similar themes using other poststructuralist approaches to enrich the discourse on gender, technology, and ideality in literary studies

Abstract

Self-esteem is a crucial component of students’ psychological well-being and is strongly shaped by the quality of interpersonal communication. This study investigates the influence of communication intensity and openness on the self-esteem of Communication Science students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta. A quantitative survey was conducted with 81 randomly selected respondents using a validated questionnaire. Data were analyzed through Pearson correlation and simple linear regression. The results indicate that openness has a moderate positive correlation with self-esteem (r = 0.402, p < 0.05), while intensity shows a lower yet significant correlation (r = 0.363, p < 0.05). Together, the two variables explain 16.2% of the variance in self-esteem, although only openness demonstrates a near-significant individual effect. These findings suggest that the quality of communication is more influential than its frequency in shaping self-esteem. The study contributes to communication science by extending Social Penetration Theory within the Indonesian context and emphasizing openness as a key factor in student development. Practically, the findings encourage universities to integrate open-communication training and peer-mentoring programs to support students’ psychological well-being. The main limitation of this study is the relatively small sample and focus on a single program, which restricts generalizability. Future research should involve larger and more diverse populations and include additional variables such as emotional intelligence and social support to provide a more comprehensive understanding.

Abstract

The rapid pace of digital technology today is marked by the massive development of artificial intelligence technology, including the utilization of artificial technology in the news production process. This research examines the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the news production process carried out by TVOne.ai. The research method used in this study was descriptive qualitative, conducted using a grounded theory approach with a focus on analyzing the application of artificial intelligence technology in the news production process, specifically the utilization of AI news presenters.  This study uses a grounded theory approach to examine the integration of AI news presenters in TVOne.ai news production. The findings indicate that news production entirely uses AI technology, from data collection to presentation, offering efficiency but posing challenges related to ethics and public acceptance. In addition, the research findings reveal that the news production process at TVOne.ai differs from conventional journalism practices. News is produced entirely using AI technology and applications, from data collection, voice cloning, to the presentation of AI presenters.  The study concludes that the use of Artificial Intelligence technology, specifically the AI news presenter at TVOne.ai, enhances the efficiency and consistency of the news production process. AI presenters enable faster content delivery, reduce operational costs, and ensure 24-hour broadcasting capabilities. However, human oversight remains essential to maintain journalistic accuracy, ethical standards, and audience trust the results of this research are expected to contribute knowledge about the news production process with the utilization of AI, both for academics, researchers, and media practitioners.

Abstract

This study evaluates stakeholder engagement communication in PT Taman Wisata Candi Borobudur, Prambanan, and Ratu Boko’s 2023 Student Entrepreneur Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) Program to enhance its effectiveness and sustainability. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach through interviews, observations, and document analysis, the findings indicate that communication was predominantly one-way, mediated through mentor teachers without direct channels or structured feedback for participants. Such practices diverge from the principles of two-way symmetrical communication, thereby limiting dialogue and active involvement. To address this gap, the study introduces the CIRCLE Communication Evaluation Model, which integrates six dimensions: message clarity, information access, responsiveness, feedback continuity, learning documentation, and engagement impact. Theoretically, this research contributes by extending CSR communication studies with a focus on documentation and feedback loops dimensions often overlooked in existing models such as CIPP and IAP2. Practically, the proposed model offers a replicable framework for strengthening stakeholder engagement and supporting the sustainability of education-based empowerment initiatives within the state-owned enterprise (BUMN) context.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the persuasive communication strategies used in TikTok content created by @taniaanglt and to understand how Generation Z audiences process such messages through the central and peripheral routes of the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM). Employing a descriptive qualitative design, this research integrates content observation, comment documentation, and in-depth interviews with five informants aged 18–24 years. Data were collected from five selected TikTok videos, public audience comments, and semi-structured interviews, then analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings reveal that visual aesthetics such as pastel color tones, soft lighting, calming music, and slow-paced editing serve as emotional triggers that activate the peripheral route. Once initial emotional engagement is established, reflective narrative statements encourage deeper cognitive elaboration, leading audiences into the central route. The creator’s authenticity further strengthens message credibility and enhances persuasive effectiveness. The study also demonstrates that the interplay between emotional and cognitive pathways fosters productive behavioral changes among Generation Z audiences, including organizing study spaces, adopting realistic daily routines, and embracing balanced productivity practices. Overall, this research confirms that persuasion on short-video platforms works through a synergistic combination of affective and rational processing. It contributes theoretically to expanding the application of ELM in digital media contexts and offers prospects for future studies on persuasive patterns within Generation Z’s online culture.
