Abstract

Social media has revolutionized communication, creating new spaces for interaction and expression. This study examines the Stray Kids Yogyakarta community on Twitter (@straykids_YK), a fanbase for the South Korean idol group Stray Kids, established in December 2017. Although interaction on Twitter is limited, community organizers try to increase engagement by providing information about upcoming events and joint projects with other fanbase accounts, hoping to increase community awareness. This research, based on qualitative and case study methods, explores the role of the Stray Kids Yogyakarta community through interviews with administrators and community members. The study revealed that the Stray Kids Yogyakarta community thrives through active communication on WhatsApp, Instagram, and in-person meetings, despite limited Twitter engagement. Interviews highlighted that while Twitter needs improvement, the community is vibrant and well-connected, showing strong adaptability and dedication among fans. This indicates the community's ability to maintain robust connections and engagement across multiple platforms.

Abstract

The development of digital technology, including social media, has emerged as a means of communicating with other people, one of which is the dating application called Tinder. Socializing, doing work, dating, and sharing life stories on social media are examples of daily activities carried out by people around the world. The focus of this research is on identity manipulation techniques which are studied using self-presentation strategy theory by Erving Goffman. This study describes how the main character uses digital platforms to manipulate using the Tinder application, as documented in the documentary film "The Tinder Swindler", resulting in losses and heartbreak felt by the victims of the dating application. The purpose of this research is to look at the digital manipulation carried out by the main character who uses the Tinder application through deceptive self-presentation for personal gain and to analyze the self-presentation strategies used in these acts of manipulation. This research methodology is qualitative using a content analysis approach which is used to explore the manipulative strategies carried out by the main character. Therefore, the results of this study show that by utilizing dating applications such as Tinder, social media, and other communication technologies, a person is able to create a very convincing fake identity and use various self-presentation strategies to deceive many victims and get everything they need through the media social.

Abstract

The Nigerian broadcasting industry has been facing significant challenges for 33 years, despite leveraging cable networks to improve broadcast quality. This study aims to identify the factors that influence their ability to enter and exit cable networks, explore the factors that affect their effectiveness, and assess their current condition on cable networks. This study relied on normative theories that provide guidelines for the media to operate in a way that best serves society. The theories include public interest, freedom of expression, and economic efficiency, as canvassed by authoritarian, liberation, and social responsibility theories. The methodology used in this study was survey research of media practitioners, with a sample size of 385, a questionnaire research instrument, and the use of simple percentages for data analysis. The study found that several factors, such as regulatory frameworks, market structures, and technological infrastructures influence the Nigerian broadcast industry's success on cable networks. To promote the industry's growth, the regulatory framework needs to be more transparent, the market structure needs to be more competitive, and the technological infrastructure needs to be more developed. To make Nigerian broadcast stations succeed, they need to focus on improving content quality, fostering strategic collaborations, and creating a competitive landscape. Furthermore, specific policy adaptations should be made to help Nigerian broadcast stations keep up with industry trends and improve the quality of their content.

Abstract

The media has a special fascination with radicalism. Even though it is an old issue, radicalism is always a topic of coverage that is never overlooked by the media. This is no exception to the local media located in Bandung, Yogyakarta, and Bali, which have the characteristics of each region, and there is always radicalism, which leads to conflict. By using critical discourse analysis methods, this research aims to find out how local media represents radicalism. The results of the research found that the local media considers that the issue of radicalism is an issue that is embedded in the media; where there are activities or issues related to radicalism, it must be spread because of the dangerous effects of radicalism. Local media, in representing radicalism, reinforces the discourse that this radicalism is a dangerous, forbidden, and difficult to eradicate ideology. Local media also represents that this understanding of radicalism is an understanding that intensively and systematically seeks to spread understandings to various groups, with various strategies and media used massively. Local media shows that this radicalism has been developing in Indonesia for a long time and is difficult to eradicate. Its existence often haunts society and the government. There is a slight difference in the way it is represented, Tribun Bali represents radicalism inserted in news with other themes. Tribun Bali in its reporting about radicalism was not direct. Meanwhile, Tribun Yogyakarta and Ayobandung.com immediately reported on the issue of radicalism. Differences in local media in representing radicalism are due to differences in each media's interpretation of facts.

Abstract

The tragic loss of Flight QZ8501 captured widespread attention in 2014. The incident resulted in numerous fatalities with various forms of reporting and affecting AirAsia's negative image, such as pilot and staff incompetence, aircraft system weaknesses, management shortcomings, and safety issues are often associated when such unfortunate events befall an airline. This study attempts to examine the types of news reporting by local Indonesian media (Kompas.com and Detik.com) and Malaysian media (Berita Harian and Astro Awani) related to the QZ8501 incident, which ultimately shapes the image of AirAsia. The study found similarities between both Indonesian and Malaysian local media in reporting news related to the QZ8501 crash, emphasizing important information, using a positive tone to respect the families of the victims, and avoiding sensationalism in accordance with journalistic ethics and the theory of social responsibility. This study highlights the promptness of AirAsia Malaysia and AirAsia Indonesia's management in handling the crisis by providing information and interacting with the media and victims' families from day one, as reflected in the media coverage. Indirectly, such reporting can positively influence the airline's image in crisis management as recognized through the Priority Integration Award at the 2015 ASEAN Business Awards. and may serve as a valuable guideline for future crisis handling.
