Abstract

The problem of stunting has become a global and national issue, including in Indonesia. Unfortunately, studies regarding media coverage of stunting are still very rarely conducted by me- dia and communication scholars. Using the Social Positioning Theory framework initiated by Har- ré and Langenhove (1999) and developed by Ibrahim (2020), this article analyzes the positioning of stunting issues in the national media Kompas in relation to the perspectives they have developed in their news representations. The news stories selected were news published between 1 October 2022 and 31 March 2023 (6 months), 3 months before and after the kick-off of the 2023 Stunting Case Audit by the National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN) on 18 January 2023. Multi-perspective approach is used to analyze data by combining quantitative and qualitative data analysis within a social positioning framework. This article can contribute to studies that consider it important to provide cultural spaces and make diverse voices heard in handling stunting and conclude that the media needs to increase the quantity and quality of reporting about stunting, as well as develop representations and reporting approaches that are culturally oriented and sensitive to values and culture which directly or indirectly influence people’s behavior and health.

Abstract

Motherhood is culturally expected and requires women to conform to societal ideology, creating 'good mothers' ideals and media commercialization. With the growing number of social media influencers, especially on Instagram, the study aims to examine the meaning of the visual self-representation shown by the Instagram account of Jennifer Bachdim (JB) and connects to the roles of motherhood portrayed by the account. The account showcases JB's work as a mother, entrepreneur, and influencer in beauty and wellness. The study applied but was not limited to, Machin & Mayr’s multimodal critical discourse analysis and Rettberg’s self-representation theory to analyze JB’s selected reels. The results indicate that JB's selected reels represent her notion of being 'busy' as a mother of four children, entrepreneur, and influencer; yet the representation that JB builds negates the presence of helping hands in her family life. Also, JB creates a self-representation of motherhood to attract attention and followers, influencing and reshaping the media's image of successful mothers, and reinforcing intensive mothering ideology. In the selected reels, JB shapes an image closely associated with her motherhood roles. Consequently, the increasing number of followers subsequently contributes to her expanding business deals.

Abstract

Soft White Underbelly is a YouTube channel that produces content of interviews with marginalized people in America. It uncovers stories of stigmatized people and reveals the systemic inequality behind their presence. Gender-based violence (GBV) is one of the issues addressed on this channel. It portrays how prostitutes are victims of GBV. The author applied Stuart Hall’s audience reception theory. The theory proposes that media messages are not static. Hall suggested that expectations and prior knowledge influence their text interpretation. This research investigates how young audiences perceive portrayals of GBV victims in Soft White Underbelly's videos on prostitution and explores the factors that influence these perceptions. A qualitative method was adopted, employing audience reception analysis as the approach. Informants were international YouTube users between the ages of 18 and 30. The study finds various receptions, influenced by social factors, media habits, educational levels, personal experiences, and economic factors. Furthermore, this research confirms that Hall's reception theory is evident in today's audience reception. The findings demonstrate how viewers can develop critical awareness, interpret media texts, and disseminate them back into their social environment.

Abstract

In contemporary society, the migration of interactions among millennials, particularly Muslim women serving as influencers, to digital platforms has spurred an intriguing shift. However, this transition is fraught with complexities as these women encounter digital media panopticism, constraining their liberty of expression. This study delves into the propagation of hijab discourse within millennial influencer circles via digital channels, aiming to unveil the established truths propagated by authoritative figures. Employing Foucault’s notion of panopticism, discursive practices, and Howe-Strauss’ Millennial generation, this research employs critical constructionism, qualitative methodologies, and in-depth interviews to unravel the pervasive digital panopticism shaping the disciplined digital personas of these influencers. The investigation uncovers how authorities utilize digital panopticism to regulate influencers, aligning with Foucault’s theories. This discreet strategy amplifies influence while perpetuating continuous surveillance through participatory transparency. By penalizing deviations from the hijab discourse, authorities instill fear, prompting self-discipline on social media platforms. Despite influencers’ vigilance, the opaque nature of control fosters ambiguity, highlighting the subtle yet profound impact of power dynamics in digital spaces. This observation echoes Foucault’s discourse on subtle regulatory mechanisms in contemporary society, underscoring the pervasive influence of power dynamics in digital spheres.

Abstract

This qualitative study explores the communication dynamics between psychologists and clients within the framework of utilising mental health services provided by Halodoc. Telemedicine has emerged as a popular alternative for individuals seeking mental health support in the digital age. Using a case study methodology, in-depth interviews were conducted with psychologists and clients who availed themselves of Halodoc’s mental health features. The findings reveal both advantages and challenges associated with communication via Halodoc. Advantages include enhanced accessibility, convenience, and privacy for clients, while challenges encompass the absence of non-verbal cues, difficulties in building rapport, and occasional technical constraints affecting session quality. This research offers valuable insights into the communication dynamics of digital mental health services, laying the groundwork for enhancing service efficacy and user experience. In conclusion, the study emphasises the need to address challenges within telemedicine platforms and continuously improve them to optimise mental health service delivery in the digital realm. Ultimately, the study contributes to advancing our understanding of communication in digital mental health services and underscores the importance of ongoing refinement in telemedicine platforms to meet the evolving needs of clients and psychologists alike.

Abstract

The funeral ritual, also known as 'pa hengingu', is one of the traditional customs of Sumba that have endured to the present day. This research examines the communication events occurring within the Marapu funeral ritual. This study aims to understand the perspectives and values held by the Marapu community by employing a qualitative approach and communication ethnography methodology. This study focuses on traditional communication in the Marapu’s funeral ritual by examining communication activities, such as communication situations, communication events, and communication actions. This study also tries to understand how a cultural group creates meaning, values, and communication practices through cultural events. Research data was collected through observations and interviews with one primary informant and three additional informants. The primary informant was the Funeral Ritual Guide, while the other three informants included the Chief of the Marapu Community, a male community member, and a female community member. The implications of this research for the Marapu community lie in the realm of documentation and archival record benefits. The research findings reveal that the Marapu community highly values kinship and community cooperation—the funeral ritual results from community cooperation involving not only grieving families but all tribal groups within the Marapu community.
