Abstract

This research describes and analyzes the pattern of gender relations of women’s activities in the production process of radio broadcast programs on Andika FM and Bonansa FM radio in Kediri City and the factors that influence women’s access and control in the production process of radio broadcast programs. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach in which the data collection techniques include observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The data analysis method utilized is gender analysis, known as the Harvard gender analysis method, or Gender Framework Analysis (GFA). Based on the study results, it can be concluded that women are actively involved in various radio activities at Andika FM and Bonansa FM. Women’s activities in multiple roles encourage changes in gender relations at the local cultural level, from the subordinate position of women to a more equal relationship. Women’s activities in the radio world have reached the stage of providing broad access for women to manage the radio, design and determine broadcast content, and produce radio programs. Factors influencing women’s access and control in the production process of radio programs at Andika FM and Bonansa FM radio include education level, company leadership policies, and awareness of gender equality between men and women.

Abstract

Luthfi Bashori is a cleric of Nahdlatul Ulama with his controversial ASWAJA Garis Lurus (Straight Line) or NU Garis Lurus. However, no in-depth research has examined his da’wah and its implications for the NU. This library research study utilized documentation and observation of Bashori's da’wah in digital media. This study focused on the objectives, strategies, themes, and reactions to Bashori's da’wah. The theory of action motives, conflict theory, and da’wah perspectives guided data analysis. This research asserted that the purpose of Bashori's da’wah is to maintain the ASWAJA (Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah) of KH. Muhammad Hasyim Asy’ari, as well as fortifying Muslims from secularism, pluralism, liberalism, Shia, and Wahhabism. According to Weber’s theory, Bashori da’wah is motivated by religious values and purposive goals. His strategy of da’wah varied depending on the context. His themes of da’wah contained Islamic law, theology, morality, and political issues. The content of his da’wah is based on his understanding of the Qur'an and hadith. In addition to getting pro and con responses from Nahdliyin, his da’wah implied strengthening religious opposition and internal contestation in the NU. This research uncovered the puritanical religious da’wah in the NU. It revealed that the NU managed internal conflict with coexistence among groups of dissenting viewpoints due to the moderation paradigm.

Abstract

The Ruwatan tradition in Javanese culture involves a  sacred performing art called Murwakala. This performance is carried out individually or collectively to self-purify, ask for forgiveness, or ward off disaster for individuals of various ages and social classes. Individuals categorized as Sukerta (bring bad luck, are dirty, or have disturbances) are considered not yet pure and, therefore, require a ruwatan (purification) ritual. Given the intensive use of symbols in the ruwatan ritual, understanding the messages conveyed through the performance art and ritual becomes problematic. This study aims to investigate how modern audiences interpret the ruwatan ritual. Using the theory of Symbolic Interaction, this study adopts a qualitative method. Data collection is done through observation, document studies, and in-depth interviews. Informants are the ruwat puppeteer, ruwat participants, and audiences. The findings of this research demonstrate that for the mass ruwatan tradition and Murwakala performance to maintain their relevance and significance in contemporary society, the symbolic meanings embedded within these practices must be conveyed more explicitly to both participants and the broader public. Ruwatan participants give meaning to ritual symbols and actions according to their cultural background, religion, and personal experience as an interpretation of the performance given by the ruwat puppeteer. Moreover, the study highlights the necessity of communicative innovation, such as implementing informational media, to support the continued vitality and relevance of ruwatan rituals in modernity.

Abstract

This study examines the contribution of Zainudin MZ's da'wah in shaping the political awareness of the Indonesian people. Zainudin MZ, known as a 'da'I for a million people', is popular because of his strong and communicative rhetoric and his courage in bringing socio-political messages in his da'wah. This approach makes da'wah a means of social transformation that can foster political awareness of the people, especially in the context of the transition of the Indonesian government from the New Order era to the reformation. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a literature study method and analysis of Zainudin MZ's da'wah discourse in the form of lectures, books, and mass media documentation. The study results show that Zainudin MZ has contributed to integrating da'wah with social, political, and power issues. Consistently, he voices the values ​​of justice, honesty, and concern for the ordinary people from the perspective of the da'wah language, which is easily understood by the wider community. His involvement in practical politics during the Reformation also shows a form of courage to make da'wah an instrument of structural change. Ultimately, he chose to return to the path of cultural da'wah because of his disappointment with less-than-ideal political practices. This finding strengthens the importance of the role of da'wah as a medium to shape the political awareness of society within the framework of Islamic teachings.

Abstract

This study explores the religious messages of the Jemaat Ahmadiyah Indonesia (JAI) as a practice of religious mediatization in digital space. Using the qualitative content analysis method and hermeneutic framework, this study analyzes religious messages on the official website of the JAI (Ahmadiyah.id). The text was selected based on purposive sampling criteria. The selection criteria for the sample text focus on writings that diverge from the beliefs held by mainstream Islamic groups. Specifically, the text addresses the Ahmadiyya movement, outlining the teachings regarding the prophethood of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and the roles of Prophet Isa and Imam Mahdi, alongside discussions on the concept of Jihad. This study found that the internet is a bridging communication that connects with the public, a medium for disseminating religious messages (proselytizing), and an advocacy and self-defense channel to fight for justice and social equality. In this process, JAI frames messages to be widely accepted by the public. This approach is essential due to the fact that, as a minority religious group, JAI continues to face rejection and limitations. This research also revealed that the online environment contributes to mediating religious messages. The internet serves as both a source and a distributor of these religious messages. In other words, the internet has evolved into a medium for transmitting and communicating religious content.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI)'s emergence has revolutionized Indonesia's local and national journalistic media landscape. It brings new challenges in terms of information integrity. This research explores the opportunities and challenges local media in Indonesia face in integrating Islamic values through journalistic activities in media using AI technology. Through a qualitative approach of media content analysis, this study has analyzed the content of news broadcasts on the YouTube channels @tvoneai and @metrotvnews. A total of 124 videos were analyzed, consisting of 41 videos from @tvoneai and 83 short videos from @metrotvnews published from July 16 to July 29, 2024. Referring to the results of the analysis based on the concepts built, the researcher concludes that AI-based digital journalism activities in Indonesia have not maximally fulfilled the elements of Islamic values. It is reflected in some news reports in politics, social issues, economy, entertainment, and technology, which still lack consistency (Al-Istiqamah ), truth & accuracy (As-Shidiq), Amar ma’ruf Nahi Mungkar, justice & impartiality (Al-Musawah), humanity (Ta’awun), and reconfirmation (Tabayyun).

Abstract

The expression of grief has shifted from traditional face-to-face rituals to digital spaces. Social media provides features such as emojis, stickers, and GIFs, enabling users to express mourning visually and symbolically. This phenomenon illustrates how cultural and religious practices are transformed through technological mediation. The study aims to analyze how multimodal dialogue represents grief on Facebook and how meaning is constructed in digital mourning practices. The research applies a social semiotic approach with a semiotic technology method. Data were collected from grief-related posts and comments on the Facebook account @endah.sucipto. The analysis focused on two models of interaction: system–user and user–user. Each textual and visual element was examined through multimodal content analysis and interpreted using semiotic theory. The findings show that expressions of grief appear in three dominant forms: condolences, Qur’anic verses, and prayers for the deceased. Users also rely on emojis, reaction icons, stickers, and images to strengthen emotional expression. These multimodal practices integrate religious traditions and digital symbols, creating hybrid forms of mourning in online communities. Visual features such as GIFs and stickers are substitutes for nonverbal cues and add affective value to brief textual comments. This study contributes to communication and cultural studies by showing how social media functions as both a technological medium and a cultural arena. The results highlight the role of digital semiotics in rearticulating cultural symbols of grief. Future research may expand this inquiry by comparing digital mourning practices across platforms and cultural contexts.

Abstract

The phenomenon of lineage denial and the emergence of individuals falsely claiming the status of Habib has increasingly posed a substantive challenge for Rabithah Alawiyah as a genealogical and religious authority. This study seeks to examine the public relations strategies employed by Rabithah Alawiyah in responding to these issues, particularly in navigating the contestation of genealogical authenticity and the social implications arising from the presence of illegitimate claims. Methodologically, this research adopts a qualitative approach with a case study design, enabling an in-depth exploration of Rabithah Alawiyah's communicative practices and institutional responses to the aforementioned challenges.

Informants were selected using purposive sampling techniques. The research findings indicate that the Rabithah Alawiyah public relations actively monitors issues through social media and community reports to identify patterns of lineage denial and false claims of Habib. The organization designs strategies based on lineage education, strengthening genealogical literacy, and building synergy with academics and religious figures. Rabithah Alawiyah optimizes digital media, seminars, and community collaborations to strengthen factual narratives. The evaluation is conducted periodically by reviewing public responses, educational programs' effectiveness, and community engagement levels to clarify the information the organization provides. The research concludes that education-based public relations strategies, information transparency, and data-driven approaches are key to maintaining the organization's credibility.

Abstract

This article examines the Batang Pungkut river ban hole in Mandailing Natal district, an ethnic Mandailing tradition that contains local wisdom in managing the environment. The urgency of this phenomenon is researched because environmental problems are a common (global) problem and are seen as a threat to collective survival. The research question consists of four questions: how is the communication strategy of preservation, opening of the Lubuk Larangan, and communication barriers in preservation and opening, and what impact do residents feel due to the Lubuk Larangan? The research approach used is qualitative with a qualitative descriptive method. The theory used is Robert Cox's environmental communication strategy, with relevant supporting theories, and reviewed through the perspective of Islamic communication. The results concluded that the communication strategies used were persuasive, educative, and coercive. The communication strategy used refers to the value of local wisdom poda na lima (five wise advice), dalihan na tolu (kinship system), and the value of Islamic communication values, namely communicating clearly (qaulan matsuran) and in delivering messages in communication and being gentle (qaulan balighan). Lubuk larangan is managed in stages, starting from identification, planning, production, and evaluation, and is relevant to Robert Cox's environmental communication strategy. The obstacles faced are unlicensed mining, fish theft, environmentally unfriendly fishing gear, internal organizational dynamics, and community awareness. The novelty of the research lies in the presence of transcedental (divine) aspects in the communication strategy applied, and serves as a guideline to maintain their hope. The impacts residents feel are ecological, socio-cultural, economic, and religious. In addition to providing local impacts, this tradition simultaneously impacts the global community.

Abstract

This research focuses on the debate on gender justice discourse in Indonesia, particularly its origins during the Draft Law on Criminal Acts of Sexual Violence (RUU-TPKS). Simultaneously, anti-sexual violence discourse began to emerge from women's groups. However, on the other hand, the draft ignite rejection from other group named AILA (Aliansi Cinta Keluarga). AILA narrates their discourse as a form of protection for families. Hence, this paper investigates the discourse distributed by AILA through online media, such as websites, and social media. this research will refer to Foucault's argument that underscores that discourse is a narrative vessel that is never neutral and never value-free, because discourse is a tool in producing knowledge that is easily accepted and translated into behavior. According to Foucault, the embodiment of discourse into behavioral forms occurs through institutions that serve power. In other words, in the discourse ecosystem, there are institutions that guarantee discourse. By using qualitative method, data were collected through documentation and observation. The findings show that AILA's discourse on family and women as mothers has become a cover for marginalizing women. By framing the pro-family narrative, AILA distributes misconceptions about feminism by portraying feminists as a group of women who hate men, destroy families, and promote prostitution and promiscuity. Through AILA's posts on their social media accounts, researchers can observe how they utilize the power of various actors in producing discourse. Instead of using family discourse to gender justice in Indonesia, the researchers conclude that AILA actually distances women from gender justice agendas, thus preventing them from accessing policies relevant to their lives.
