Abstract

Transformasi sistem pers dari era kolonial menuju era modern merupakan salah satu aspek penting dalam perubahan sosial yang terjadi di Indonesia. Sejarah perkembangan pers di Indonesia tidak hanya mencatat bagaimana media berkembang dalam menyampaikan informasi, tetapi juga bagaimana media berfungsi sebagai alat perjuangan dalam mengubah struktur sosial dan politik masyarakat. Artikel ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif untuk mengkaji peran media dalam perubahan sosial selama transisi dari masa kolonial ke pasca-kolonial. Dengan memanfaatkan analisis historis dan studi literatur, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa media tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai sarana komunikasi, tetapi juga berperan sebagai agen perubahan yang menggerakkan transformasi sosial di Indonesia. Proses ini melibatkan pergeseran dari media yang dikontrol kolonial menuju media yang lebih bebas, demokratis, dan berfungsi sebagai alat kritik terhadap pemerintah serta pembentukan identitas sosial dan politik masyarakat Indonesia yang lebih inklusif.

Abstract

Public speaking competence is needed in various interactions between people, both in personal and social contexts, including leadership, business, religion, law, education, and others. In the field of education, for example, the need for public speaking skills especially for students is very necessary. The ability to speak in public is very helpful in increasing students' self-confidence which can support their performance both in education and social life. This ability is not only to encourage students to excel in the academic field within their school, but also to excel in other fields outside of school. As an implementation in helping to improve students' public speaking skills, the FISIP USU service team has carried out public speaking training service activities in one of the schools in Medan City, namely SMA Al Washliyah 1 in September 2023. The service team provided provision for students to be more capable of communicating in front of the public. Participants received public speaking materials and some of them practiced public speaking directly in a competition. This service activity is a form of contribution to the implementation of the fourth point of Sustainable Development Goals, namely Quality Education.

Abstract

Inequality in the treatment of victims of sexual violence can be seen in those who do not have friends who talk about feelings of confusion, fear, and a lack of knowledge about what to do after an act of sexual violence occurs. This research discusses the communication activities of companions at Nurani Perempuan with victims of sexual violence in West Sumatra. This research aims to analyze communication activities by Nurani Perempuan Women’s Crisis Center as a companion to victims of sexual violence in West Sumatra. This research uses a case study research approach with research data collection methods by conducting observations, in-depth interviews with companions of victims of sexual violence at Nurani Perempuan, and documentation. The research results show that communication between one victim and another victim is very unique. In order to achieve good communication, the companion must be able to build the victim's trust so that they want to talk about their case. So that the companion who is initially active in asking questions will become a listener to the victim's story until the mentoring process is complete and the victim begins to improve.
