Abstract

Public Relations strategies play an important role in communicating corporate social responsibility as an effort to build a corporate image. This study adopts a constructivist paradigm using a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the regional Public Relations unit and beneficiary communities, supported by documentation such as activity reports, press releases, and media publications. The findings indicate that the communication strategy was implemented in a structured manner through stages of research and planning, program implementation, communication publication, and evaluation. TJSL Communication was carried out through direct interaction with the community, mass media, and the company’s social media platforms. A humanistic and contextual communication approach enabled the TJSL program to be perceived not merely as the distribution of assistance, but as an expression of corporate care and social commitment. This approach contributed to the formation of a positive image of PT KAI Daop 3 Cirebon as a company that is socially responsible, transparent, and committed to sustainable social and environmental development.

The involvement of railfans communities as strategic partners strengthens message credibility, increases public participation, and contributes to the formation of a positive corporate image of PT KAI Daop 3 Cirebon as an open, responsif, and socially responsible public transportation company. This study implies that participatory and collaborative community relations strategies play a significant role in strengthening corporate image at the regional operational level.

Abstract

The high rate of drug abuse in Indonesia, particularly among adolescents, highlights the urgency of government intervention. The Indonesia Drug Report reported a prevalence of 1.73%, with 3.3 million people affected, predominantly adolescents. This research aims to delve deeper into the implementation of the Government Public Relations (GPR) function of the South Jakarta City National Narcotics Agency (BNN) in preventing drug abuse among adolescents. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, employing data collection techniques such as observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research results show that the implementation of the GPR function in citizen-government interactions is carried out through public communication activities by conveying information, policies, and programs and educating the public through FGD activities, advocacy, policy socialization, outreach, training, and the Bersinar campaign. Regulator communication is conducted through intensive communication between institutions such as local governments, law enforcement agencies, educational institutions, and several related stakeholders in supporting and aligning the goals of prevention policies/programs. As an extension of policy, the South Jakarta City BNN disseminates information policies and programs and educates the public by selecting messages that not only serve to convey information but also aim to build public perception, attitudes, and participation in prevention policies and programs through various communication channels, both conventional and digital, as well as mass media, based on the principles of good governance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the representation of communication constructed by Nadia Omara through her YouTube channel Spesial Kisah Horor Wawak, particularly in episode Part 55 entitled “Kekasih Gaib.” This research is grounded in a constructivist paradigm, employing a qualitative descriptive approach with a phenomenological design. Data were collected through content observation of the video, analysis of verbal and nonverbal communication elements, audio-visual representations, and audience responses found in the comment section. The findings reveal that Nadia Omara plays a central role as the main communicator who actively constructs meaning through narrative storytelling, expressive intonation, appropriate diction, and supportive audio-visual elements. Although the story presented contains subjective and unverifiable mystical elements, the communication representation successfully builds a sense of realism and credibility among the audience. The use of visual illustrations, narrative text, sound effects, and dominant dark tones strengthens the emotional atmosphere and enhances audience immersion. Audience responses indicate strong emotional engagement, ranging from fear and empathy to mixed feelings, demonstrating that viewers not only consume the content as entertainment but also interpret it as a meaningful experience. This study concludes that effective communication representation in digital media can significantly influence audience perception and trust, even when the content lies between reality and imagination.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the branding communication strategies of the Kupang City Government in realizing Kupang Smart City, evaluate their effectiveness, and identify implementation barriers since its 2019 declaration. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentary studies at the Kupang City Communication and Informatics Office. Analysis was conducted using triangulation techniques, supported by theoretical frameworks of communication strategy, corporate strategy, and SWOT analysis. The findings indicate that the branding strategy focuses on digitalization via social media and the promotion of local cultural identity, such as Tenun Bunga Sepe. While effective in building a positive image within the Smart Branding and Smart Economy dimensions, the overall implementation across all six Smart City pillars remains uneven. Primary obstacles include weak inter-agency coordination, budgetary constraints, low digital literacy, and suboptimal infrastructure maintenance. The SWOT evaluation reveals that resource allocation instability and a gap between strategic vision and field execution hinder the formation of a robust brand. The study concludes that the success of Kupang Smart City requires an integrated communication strategy, sustained collective commitment across government departments, and consistent implementation across all pillars.

Abstract

The use of social media in political campaigns increased significantly during the 2024 Presidential Election, particularly through TikTok, a platform widely used by Generation Z. this study aims to analyze the political communication strategies employed by the TikTok account of the Gerindra Party (@partaigerindra) as a campaign medium for the Prabowo Subianto–Gibran Rakabuming Raka ticket in the 2024 Presidential Election. This research adopts a qualitative approach using content analysis of 15 campaign videos uploaded between September 2023 and January 2024. The data were analyzed descriptively and interpretatively by examining content formats, narrative structures, visual symbols, and patterns of audience interaction. The findings indicate that the Gerindra Party’s TikTok account predominantly applies an edutainment-based communication strategy by combining political messages with entertainment elements such as memes, political humor, viral trends, live streaming, and influencer collaboration. These strategies aim to build emotional closeness, enhance audience engagement, and strengthen the candidates’ image among young voters. Additionally, interactive TikTok features, including comments, duets, and live streaming, facilitate two-way communication between candidates and audiences. This study concludes that TikTok functions as a strategic instrument of digital political communication, where creative, interactive, and platform-oriented content is effective in reaching and mobilizing Generation Z voters.

Abstract

This study examines how Hilmi Mokhsen, a digital influencer from Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, represents culture and constructs his digital identity through his activities on Instagram. The platform is viewed as a cultural arena where identity, social meaning, and performativity are formed and displayed. Hilmi is selected as the subject because he represents a creative young generation that uses social media for self-expression and to present contemporary cultural elements in the digital sphere. The research addresses gaps in previous studies by focusing on the symbolic, cultural, and identity dimensions he constructs through a distinct communication style and strong personal branding. The study explores four key issues: how cultural representation appears in Hilmi’s content; how his digital identity is constructed; how symbolic communication and interaction style shape his engagement with followers; and how audiences respond to the culture and identity he presents. This qualitative research adopts a Virtual Ethnography approach and Cyber Media Analysis across four levels: media space, media documents, media objects, and experience. Grounded in Stuart Hall’s Representation Theory, the study emphasizes representation as an active process of meaning-making through language, images, and cultural symbols. The findings are expected to contribute empirically to Indonesian digital culture studies and offer practical guidance for influencers and the creative industry in developing authentic personal branding.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has changed learning practices, including the use of social media as a means of learning. YouTube is one of the popular platforms because it provides easily accessible audio-visual content. This study aims to analyze the use of YouTube as an English learning medium in SD Negeri 2 Sudaji as well as student responses based on the Uses and Gratifications Theory. This study uses a qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and document analysis with informants of English teachers and grade VI students. Data are analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that YouTube is effective in helping students understand English pronunciation and vocabulary. Student responses are positive, characterized by increased interest in learning, engagement, and confidence. From the perspective of Uses and Gratifications, YouTube caters to students' cognitive, emotional, social, and personal needs. However, there are obstacles such as focus distractions, technical problems, and the need for teacher guidance in content selection. Therefore, the use of YouTube as a learning medium in elementary schools will be effective if it is designed in a planned manner and accompanied by teachers.
