Abstract

Rural digital inclusion is a concept that prioritizes the utilization of information technology transformation from analog to digital systems. It is an innovation that enhances inclusivity to achieve equality in quality of life as well as access to information and administrative services in rural areas. This study aims to examine the factors contributing to the gap, bridge development efforts, and identify the challenges faced in digital development by village governments through e-government in Lembang Bo’ne Buntu Sisong, Makale Selatan District, Tana Toraja Regency. The results show that the digital gap is caused by limited infrastructure, lack of access skills, and unavailability of budget. Digital inclusion initiated by the lembang government serves as a solution to anticipate conditions of information marginalization by developing a village/lembang website that can effectively and efficiently fulfill the community’s right to information and public services. The challenges faced in developing digitalization in the lembang government or e-government include: (1) leadership challenges related to policy support and regulations for the implementation of e-government; (2) cultural challenges among villagers in accepting the transformation of information access and services from analog to digital, where available access has not been used participatively and awareness of its utilization is still low; and (3) governance challenges, as the transformation of information and administrative services in an e-government system requires competence support from village government officials. The findings of this study are expected to provide insights into implementing digital inclusion to minimize the emergence of marginalized groups due to the digital divide.

Abstract

This article critically analyzes the role of podcasts as a channel for freedom of expression in shaping the discourse of the ideal Indonesian leader thru Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) based on Fairclough's model. By examining concrete cases such as KPU RI Episode 9: Ideal Leaders in the Eyes of Students (a platform for young formal and intellectual stakeholders), Podcast: Jokowi's Rants and Rocky Gerung's Ideal State Leader Version (comparing official narratives vs. sharp criticism), Episode 31: Putu Yoga: KMHDI Chairman - Ideal Political Party? (non-governmental organization perspective), as well as Applying Leadership Science from Mr. Jonan. Leaders Must Be Visible. The Leader Must Be Seen (visible leadership implementation): Research reveals how narrative framing, satirical humor, ideological rhetoric, and contrasting comparisons are used to construct an ideal leadership image while simultaneously challenging power. The findings indicate that podcasts expand the deliberative space thru long-form dialog and social media integration, enabling social criticism as a control mechanism. For example, discussions by the General Election Commission of the Republic of Indonesia (KPU RI) sparked public debate about election integrity, while Rocky Gerung's criticism of Jokowi's "interference" went viral on X and mobilized young opinion. However, this freedom is limited by elite dominance (the majority of hosts are Jakarta-centric), commercialization (sponsors influence framing), algorithmic polarization, and legal repression (the ITE Law threatens independent hosts). The Jonan case underscores the importance of visible and accountable leadership, while Putu Yoga expands the discourse to an ideal Hindu-based political party and democracy. The article concludes that podcasts are an ambivalent channel for freedom of expression: empowering young voices, activists, and intellectuals while also being vulnerable to power manipulation. Its effectiveness depends on digital literacy, editorial independence, and regulatory reform for podcasts to truly become a platform for the people, featuring ideal Indonesian leaders who are ethical, inclusive, and responsive.
