Abstract

The 21st century has shown remarkable changes in the Indian marketing landscape due to internet adoption and technological advancements. The young generation's embrace of online activities has transformed the consumer behavior. With 840 million internet users, including 448 million active users on social media, online advertising has become a powerful tool to attract attention and drive product purchases. Simultaneously, E-commerce platforms have revolutionized access to goods and services. In this view, this study focuses on understanding the impacts of online advertisements on the purchasing behavior of the young generation, specifically in terms of lifestyle products. Researchers explored how online advertisement has influenced decision-making processes and uncovered the motives driving internet usage among young adults. Additionally, the study assessed the perceptions of trustworthiness between online and offline products. 200 respondents from rural and urban colleges were analyzed to identify the key factors determining the purchasing decisions among young adults. Price, discounts, perceived needs, and timeliness are some of the factors explored. The findings revealed the impacts of online advertisements on product purchases among college students in both rural and urban settings. Insights into young adults' motivations and preferences are invaluable for businesses to effectively engage with this dynamic consumer base. Armed with these findings, businesses can develop targeted marketing strategies that resonate with the evolving digital landscape, ensuring success in India's digitally-driven market.

Abstract

Non-chemical agricultural methods can improve soil health, conserve ecology and enhance biodiversity, and are more sustainable. Media messages trigger a change in farmers’ attitudes that needs to be studied to understand their practices. This study used the Diffusion of Innovation theory to figure out how farmers accept chemicals in farming practices from the media and how the chemicals impact the environment. The objective is to understand how media influence farmers towards chemical fertilizers and pesticides, to find out which media has been widely used by farmers, and to find out which the popular medium has provided information about non-chemical agricultural methods (NCAM). A stratified sampling technique was used, and fifty small farmers were selected for the survey. The key findings suggested that effective media use by the farmers shift to agricultural practices now and then through media influences on that Non-Chemical Agricultural Methods (NCAM) messages are redefined through survey methodology.

Abstract

Childfree refers to the conscious decision of an individual or couple to abstain from parenthood, independent of biological or adoptive possibilities as a lifestyle choice unrelated to fertility. This study investigated childfree contents on social media, specifically in Instagram, among millennials. Additionally, it delved into Islamic family law perspectives on childfree living. Utilizing qualitative content analysis, the chosen Instagram account for examination was Childfree Life Indonesia @childfreelife.id. The research identified some reasons for embracing childfree living, including past trauma, personal autonomy, happiness pursuit, career focus, financial considerations, and environmental preferences. Benefits encompass career advancement, reduced responsibilities, financial stability, improved mental health, emotional fulfillment, personal time, flexibility, and expanded leisure. Conversely, drawbacks involve the potential lack of support in old age, loneliness, absence of family legacy, no parenting experience, no successors, societal judgment, limited social network, a sense of family incompleteness, and diminished social support. Islamic family law emphasizes the marriage goal of progeny for societal strength, deeming permanent and unjustified childfree choices as prohibited (haram). However, temporary and justified childfree decisions may align with Islamic principles. This study contributes scholarly insights into millennial marriage dynamics, incorporating media and Islamic family law perspectives, with practical implications for fostering a nuanced understanding of Islamic teachings and societal trends among millennials, averting behaviors incongruent with religious norms.

Abstract

Amidst the escalating negative narrative surrounding Islam, there is a parallel increase in efforts by Muslim figures and communities to counteract these perceptions. Leveraging the expansive reach of social media, influential personalities like Zakir Naik, Mufti Menk, and Nouman Ali Khan engage global audiences, including non-Muslim communities. This article explores how these figures impact the transformation of global perceptions of Islam through da`wa on online platforms, employing the concept of people-to-people diplomacy as an analytical tool. Data, primarily sourced from online platforms, media, books, and journals, reveal that these Muslim figures have significantly contributed to alter the global perceptions of Islam. Their efforts play a crucial role in gradually shifting non-Muslims from a stance of prejudice to one of empathy, fostering a more nuanced understanding of Islam worldwide.

Abstract

In the last few decades, research on communication and development has developed due to the emergence of many development theories in third-world countries. This research aims to determine the research trends in the infrastructure sector from a communication perspective and identify gaps. Papers were selected based on specific words relevant to the issue of development communication and infrastructure communication throughout Indonesia. A total of 33 papers from international and national journals were analyzed to find several paper themes, and analyzed based on categories that emerged from these themes. The analysis results showed that there were only four papers still dominated by development communication. This study also identified gaps in the literature on infrastructure communication, especially those using Niklas Luhmann's Communication Theory. This systematic research (Systematic Literature Review) used the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis) method in which, as found, there has been no research on the theme of infrastructure in the field of communication science specifically looking at how it occurs or how communication on infrastructure communication itself really is. It is important to see the infrastructure problem entirely and cross-sectional subject in a unified system - not as the pieces of events in one research object/area. An understanding of communication issues in infrastructure development will make it easier for various parties to determine future communication.

Abstract

This research aims to explain the management of digital PR in the Madiun Precinct Police from the perspective of Phillips and Young. The achievements of the Madiun Precinct Police's PR are inseparable from the demands of digital technology and the capacity of the Madiun Precinct Police as a public service institution. The Madiun Precinct Police's PR utilizes digital PR not only to provide information but also to solidify public communication for the maintenance of public safety and order. With the role of PR and the achievements attained, this poses a challenge for the Madiun Precinct Police's PR in managing digital PR. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed by applying the five fundamental elements of digital PR by Phillips and Young, which include transparency, porosity, the internet as an agent, richness in content, and reach. The research findings indicate that the management of digital PR has been achieved with the readiness of an online system that includes supporting components such as platforms, channels, and context. Public information services are carried out clearly and openly, with information dissemination through the internet being controlled. The transformation of messages from PR to the public does not preclude the possibility of change. In the event of misinformation, PR will follow up incidentally. As public servants, the Madiun Precinct Police's PR is required to be capable of creating creative content and skilled in managing social media.

Abstract

This article explores South Korea's waste management system, focusing on effective food waste management, a key factor contributing to the country's overall success in waste management. The effectiveness of the South Korean system has made it a case study model for government officials in other countries. This article uses qualitative methods, relying on journal references from the Scopus database, with additional references obtained through Harzing's Publish or Perish. The data analysis was conducted using VOSviewer, an application designed to visualize keywords across all the compiled references. The findings show that South Korea's renowned efficient waste management system focuses on key aspects such as Government Initiatives, Waste Segregation, Pay-as-You-Throw System, Recycling Facilities, Waste-to-Energy Plants, Public Awareness and Education, as well as Enforcement and Penalties. Indonesia needs to explore and adopt several initiatives and strategies for efficiently managing various types of waste. This imperative arises particularly in light of the UNEP Food Waste Index 2021 report, which reveals that Indonesia has emerged as the Southeast Asian country with the highest food waste production.
