<![CDATA[The case of covering the Virgin Mary statue using a tarpaulin is one of the viral cases related to religious issues. The case involved an Islamic mass organization in Kulon Progo Yogyakarta and the owner of the Sasana Adhi Rasa prayer house, ST Yacobus. Some of the posts about the case use the hashtag #patungbundamaria. Hashtags, which intended originally to promote sculpture products, suddenly used to increase the reach of spreading issues. This is as an effort to carry out propaganda that has the potential to bring up a discourse of intolerance. This study aims to determine the form of multimodal discourse from the case of the closing of the Bunda Maria statue in Kulon Progo, as well as the propaganda formed. This research method uses a qualitative approach with a constructivist paradigm. The analysis technique is through multimodal discourse analysis. Researchers look at the use of multimodal text to build propaganda messages with the addition of hashtag modes. The results of this study indicate that the emergence of the issue of the Virgin Mary statue by using hashtags begins in the form of gray propaganda. This is because the data to raise this issue is still not valid due to pursuing posting speed. However, from the process of developing issues on social media, the message shift to white propaganda. In addition, netizens on Instagram have a concern in rejecting intolerance. They seek to suppress the emergence of intolerant discourse by providing comments that encourage tolerance between religious communities.]]>

<![CDATA[The political economy perspective suggests that the organization and financing of mass media influence media content. This research examines how the regional revenue and expenditure budget (APBD) financing has affected (the quality of) content and public communication. The study was conducted in Yogyakarta and Bali. This study uses qualitative methods. Data is collected through in-depth interviews and observations of the news. In-depth interviews were conducted with journalists, academics, and media analysts in Yogyakarta and Bali. This research found that the APBD significantly contributes as the revenue source of local media, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some media outlets even exhibit high dependency on APBD, as indicated by the sum of APBD they received. This has weakened the role of local media as a watchdog for local government while also creating a crisis for local public communication. Public communication today is predominantly filled with news emphasizing publicity rather than critical and investigative coverage of local issues. As a result, efforts to create an informed society as a prerequisite for democracy would be difficult to realize. The community’s involvement in local democracy is greatly defined by the quality of information they receive.]]>

<![CDATA[Privacy management amid the development of social media seems to be in a dilemma. On the one hand, social media provides space for expression and self-expression, including all information that comes in a personal context. But on the otherhand this has the potential to violate privacy. Uniquely, the second account feature is often considered a safe zone to express oneself more openly. It is in such situations that management privacy is required. In the theory of communication privacy management (CPM) by Sandra Petronio, a person’s boundaries in behavior must be determined by himself. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques by interviewing and documenting several uploads on the nformant’s second account. The results of this study indicate that the various violations that occurred on the second account were caused by a lack of knowledge to a wrong understanding that the data would be stored safely with the closest trusted person. Even though the person who is selected to enter the second account circle is also vulnerable to opening the data privacy of the account owner and even spreading it. After this research is expected to be input for social media users to be wiser in managing their privacy even in features that are considered safe.]]>

<![CDATA[Tackling climate change is the 13th goal in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One of the simple actions that can be taken to prevent the issue of climate change is the use of environmentally friendly straws, specifically the use of stainless-steel straws. For the public to know about the issue of climate change, social media has an important role. This study aims to see the effect of the exposure of messages on social media related to climate change issues on the behavior to use stainless-steel straws. In addition, this study uses predictors of the Theory of Planned Behavior, namely attitudes, subjective norms, and Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC). Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the study results show that attitudes, subjective norms, and Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC) directly influence intentions and indirectly influence the behavior of using stainless-steel straws. Another finding is that exposure to persuasive messages on social media related to the use of environmentally friendly straws owned by family and close friends also has a direct positive effect on attitudes, subjective norms, Perceived Behavioral Control, and behavioral intentions, which in turn have a positive indirect effect on the behavior of using stainless-steel straws.]]>

<![CDATA[A high amount of plastic waste and its threats to the environment and living things have become a major concern for many countries. One of the causes is the widespread use of single-use plastic bags in our everyday lives. Various studies have examined the negative impacts of plastic waste, and many environmental activists have responded to this global concern. Seasoldier is a community that has been conducting a digital campaign by utilizing the hashtag #Seasoldier to encourage followers to reduce their use of plastic bags. This study aims to determine the correlation between media exposure of #SeaSoldier on Instagram and behavioral change in their followers, and to examine the Media Ecology theory in an environmental communication context. A purposive sampling technique was applied to obtain respondents who met the following criteria: having an Instagram account and being an active follower of Seasoldier. The result of this study indicates a positive and strong correlation between the use of the hashtag feature and behavioral change, with a correlation coefficient value of r=.776 and a coefficient determination value of r2=.598, which defines 59.8% of the hashtag campaign exposure as leading to changes in followers’ behavior. Future research can develop broader research on the factors influencing follower behavior using qualitative methods.]]>
