Abstract

Autism parenting communication in Indonesia continues to face uneven public awareness and persistent social stigma, underscoring the need for effective digital health communication. This study examines how social presence is constructed through visual communication in infographic-based YouTube videos on autism parenting. Five episodes of the Berbeda Itu Kuat series produced by Liputan6 SCTV were analyzed using directed qualitative content analysis. The findings indicate that social presence is expressed through affective, interactive, and cohesive cues in narration, language, and visual design, creating a mediated sense of emotional support and relational closeness. Infographic elements such as icons, symbolic colors, concise text, and structured layouts help translate complex information into accessible visual forms. The videos also reflect adaptation to YouTube’s platform characteristics through short duration and conversational tone. By demonstrating how social presence can be operationalized through infographic-based video design, this study extends health communication scholarship beyond audience perception toward representational practice. Because the analysis focuses on representational construction rather than audience reception, the findings do not address how viewers interpret or respond to these communicative strategies.

Abstract

Environmental communication faces challenges where audiences have become tired of facing various rigid environmental conservation messages. This has the potential to cause audiences to reach the saturation point and lead them to ignore the main message of environmental communication. This study explores hybrid narrative strategies in National Geographic Indonesia (Nat Geo Indonesia) digital travel documentary videos. The gap in this research relates to the imbalance between the delivery of rigid environmental conservation messages and the needs of digital media audiences. The purpose of this study is to analyze human interest narratives and social network structures in content published by Nat Geo Indonesia entitled Eksotika Jalur Selatan Jawa. This study uses multimodal discourse analysis on video texts and Social Network Analysis (SNA) on video comments. The novelty of this research lies in the combination of analytical techniques used to analyze human interest narratives in digital conservation messages. The results of this study indicate that local figures play a significant role as emotional anchors. This becomes an attraction for audiences in understanding culturally-based environmental communication narratives. In addition, the SNA analysis reveals the formation of network structures that encourage the formation of various public narratives.

Abstract

While urban running has surged in popularity, existing studies often focus on the physical health benefits or elite athletic performance, leaving a gap in understanding how novice runners navigate the transition from casual exercise to a structured social identity. This study addresses this gap by examining how communication practices within urban running communities facilitate the formation of values, lifestyles, and identities among beginners. A phenomenological approach is employed to capture the essence of the lived experience and the subjective meanings novice runners attach to their social interactions, providing a deeper understanding of identity construction that quantitative methods cannot reach. Data were gathered through indepth interviews and participant observation with members of the Indorunners Playon Jogja community, followed by thematic analysis. The findings reveal that involvement in these communities is a transformative process where running evolves from a sporadic activity into a disciplined daily routine and a core component of self management. Communication manifested through face to face social support and digital media engagementacts as the primary catalyst in strengthening a sense of belonging and solidifying a new runner identity. Theoretically, this study contributes to the field of communication science by positioning urban sports as a dynamic arena for social practice and identity negotiation. Practically, it offers insights for community organizers and urban health practitioners on leveraging social communication to sustain long term physical activity and community engagement among the urban populace.

Abstract

Sharenting practices are increasingly discussed. Research in Indonesia has mostly focused on urban middle-class families, while studies on low-income families remain limited. This study examines how poverty shapes mothers’ understanding of sharenting, digital literacy, and children’s privacy in everyday life. The Bantargebang Landfill in Bekasi was selected because it reflects poverty, environmental problems, and social marginalization. Using a qualitative case study approach, this research involved in-depth interviews with seven mothers. The findings show that sharenting is not only about sharing family content online, but also about seeking social recognition and responding to poverty stigma. Mothers in scavenger settlements use sharenting to display dignity and equality, while those with more stable economic conditions use social media more strategically for visibility and economic opportunities. The study also finds that digital literacy is practiced pragmatically, with privacy concerns focused mainly on immediate risks rather than children’s long-term digital identity and privacy rights. Using Communication Privacy Management Theory and Recognition Theory, this study highlights the connections among sharenting, privacy management, social recognition, and everyday poverty, emphasizing the need for more context-sensitive digital literacy and child protection programs for marginalized urban families.

Abstract

Higher education does not exist in the public sphere as a neutral reality, but as the result of media communication. This article examines how the media operate as an autopoietic system in constructing higher education reality in Indonesia. Using an interpretive qualitative approach, this study analyzes Detik.com news articles from 2019 to 2024. The issues of Single Tuition (UKT), Independent Learning–Independent Campus (MBKM), and Legal Entity State Universities (PTN-BH) are treated as variations of the issue to trace media communication patterns. The findings reveal a patterned model of cross-issue narrative evolution, moving from administrative–technocratic, to implementive–evaluative, and ultimately to problematic–systemic constructions. This trajectory shows an escalation of problematization across different policy domains. Rather than being driven by policy substance, shifts in meaning are shaped by the media system’s operational logic of selection, association, and communicative reproduction. This study contributes to communication scholarship by proposing a cross-issue model of narrative evolution. This model demonstrates how media autopoiesis operates empirically through the stabilization and transformation of public meaning.
