Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of social media usage on the interpersonal communication skills of high school students. The background of this research is the increasing use of social media among teenagers and its potential impact on various aspects of interpersonal communication. The research method employed is qualitative, with a survey approach. Data analysis was conducted using linear regression techniques to examine the relationship between the independent variable (the intensity of social media use) and the dependent variable (interpersonal communication skills). The results of the study show a significant influence of social media use on students' interpersonal communication skills. Students who use social media with high intensity tend to have better interpersonal communication skills compared to those who use social media with low intensity. Additionally, the type of social media platform used also affects communication skills. More interactive platforms, such as Instagram and WhatsApp, have a greater positive impact compared to other platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze communication barriers present in the IM3 "Nyatakan Silaturahmi" advertisement on YouTube, using a semiotic approach based on John Fiske's theory. This advertisement was selected for its representation of social communication phenomena within the Indonesian cultural context, which strongly values the concept of "silaturahmi" (maintaining connections). Through semiotic analysis, this research seeks to uncover hidden meanings within the ad and explore how it communicates social messages to its audience. Fiske's semiotic approach is used to highlight three levels of codes in communication: reality codes, representation codes, and ideology codes, allowing for the identification of various communication barriers in message delivery. The study results reveal communication barriers in the form of differences in perception, symbol interpretation, and cultural values presented. In conclusion, these communication barriers in the ad may affect the audience's understanding of the message, highlighting the importance of contextual and cultural considerations in conveying messages through digital media. This research is expected to provide insights into designing more effective communication strategies that are culturally sensitive and suited to diverse audiences, particularly in digital advertising.

Abstract

This study examines the application of risk communication in the socialization process of Deli Serdang Regent Regulation No. 6 of 2025 on waste management, a policy that emerges amid increasing environmental and public health risks in the region. Using a descriptive qualitative design with a case study approach, the research involves 12 informants consisting of government officials, community leaders, and waste-management stakeholders. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, and were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns in message delivery, actor involvement, and audience response. The findings show that although the regulation mandates collective responsibility, its communication strategy remains predominantly one-way and has not fully articulated key risk dimensions—particularly localized environmental and health implications. One notable finding is the absence of mechanisms for two-way feedback, which reduces community readiness to adopt waste-sorting practices. This article contributes to risk communication scholarship by demonstrating how regulatory socialization in decentralized regions must integrate contextualized risk framing and community-based dialogic models to increase policy acceptance. Strengthening message clarity, enhancing source credibility, and utilizing adaptive digital media are therefore crucial to improving public understanding and fostering collective participation in waste management.
