Abstract

In the current era of new media, social criticism as a form of freedom of expression and speech is easier to facilitate. New media such as Whatsapp groups, provide various features, which allow criticism in the form of memes, to be produced, distributed and consumed by virtual communities who are members of Whatsapp groups. This article examines how criticisms of the government's repressive actions in the policy of Imposing Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) Emergency/Level 4 and 3 Java-Bali through memes circulated in the new media platform Whatsapp group, why criticisms expressed through memes were carried out through the Whatsapp group, and what else types of memes as a form of social criticism circulating in Whatsapp groups. Pen ResultseThis research shows that the PPKM Emergency/Level 4 and 3 Java-Bali policies are repressive in nature, drawing a lot of criticism in the Whatsapp group in the form of memes. Memes, which literally mean ideas that spread quickly from person to person, are even more certain thanks to the new Whatsapp media which is interactive, has a diffuse (not centralized) character, avoids state control, and is democratic. State actors who are in charge of PPKM are generally the target of social criticism through memes in Whatsapp groups.

Abstract

The new norm era forces people to do all activities from home, including working and studying. Data shows a significant increase in internet use during the pandemic. Longer working time, more online meetings, and sometimes they can be done at the same time (simultaneous meeting). Then, how does the Self perform if it has to be "fragmented" in one meeting or between meetings? This paper aims to identify the Self in digital dramaturgy through the performance of video conference application users in simultaneous meetings in the new normal era. This writing uses Goffman's Dramaturgy and Mead's Self as a framework with the constructionism paradigm. It uses observation and in-depth interview techniques as data collection methods. The results show that digital dramaturgy consists of preparation made at the backstage and self-performance on the front stage in a digital and non-digital setting. An interesting finding is that in live online meetings, Self appears on the front stage in the on cam (video camera is on) and mic unmutes position, but Self can be on the backstage when the cam is off (the video camera is turned off), and the mic is muted. However, when Self is in one of those situations, a third stage emerges, namely the In-between Region, where the performance is performed partly on the front stage and partly on the backstage.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the distribution of communication networks of the #StopAsianHate campaign on Twitter. Using the theory of Computer-Mediated Communication, this paper seeks to identify the campaign's networks in system level and actor level. To achieve this, we used a quantitative approach of Communication Network Analysis with the Netlytic and Gephi models, as well as the content analysis method. From the analysis, we found 5 independent clusters in the network. On the level system, we found that information exchange requires only 2 actors to be passed, actors retweet or like more than talk, most conversations happened one-sidedly, network dominated by few actors, and network has a clear division between the clusters represented. On the actor level, we identified two accounts that played a dominating role in the campaign, that actors have a close relationship with other actors, no influence in linking the distribution of information related, and found 6 top actors with central role. Meanwhile, from the content analysis we found that the focus of the actor's communication campaign is the sharing of opinions, information, and images.

Abstract

The significance of education in the contemporary world cannot be overstated, as it plays a pivotal role in shaping a high-quality society. Exploring the theory of Excellence in Public Relations is at the heart of this research. The study delves into the intricate dynamics between organizations and their communities, examining the various communication functions and objectives that underpin these relationships. This study employs a post-positivist paradigm, adopting a qualitative approach and a case study methodology. The author conducts observations, interviews, and documentation to gather information about the individuals involved. The research was conducted through the presentation of data and the formulation of conclusions. The findings indicated that this study applied three specific models, namely Public Information, Two Way Symmetric, and Two Way Asymmetric, out of the four models proposed by the theory. Public relations effectively communicated with the community through various activities such as charity events, open house events, and blood donation events. The research concludes that Kinderfield's community relations activities, conducted by its Public Relations department, have resulted in a positive image for Kinderfield. This achievement has led to the establishment of Kinderfield as a trustworthy school in the eyes of the community, making it a preferred choice for parents seeking an educational institution for their children.
