Abstract

In the digital era, social media influencers play a significant role in shaping public perception of tourism destinations. This research aims to explore how the content produced by influencers influences the construction of destination images in the eyes of the audience, specifically through a qualitative approach. Using case study methods and in-depth interviews with several tourism influencers as well as industry observers, this study highlights the visual, narrative, social, and ethical dimensions of communication conducted on social media. The results show that destination images are strongly formed through repetitive aesthetic visualizations and narratives that build authentic and emotional impressions. Influencers not only serve as promotional agents, but also as cultural and social mediators that shape the public's imagination regarding the travel experience. The findings also emphasize the importance of strategic collaboration between tourism industry players and influencers in maintaining a balance between promotion and message authenticity. In addition, ethical aspects such as paid content transparency and social responsibility in shaping public expectations are important issues that need to be considered. This research contributes to the tourism communication literature by highlighting how the role of influencers is evolving into key actors in the destination's digital ecosystem. Practical implications include the need for a collaborative, value-based, and sustainable approach in destination promotion strategies through social media. Keywords: influencers, social media, destination image, tourism communication, qualitative approach, digital communication

Abstract

Digital transformation has brought significant changes in Public Relations (PR) practices, demanding strategic, cultural, and technological adaptations from communications professionals. This research aims to identify and understand how PR practitioners in Indonesia adjust their communication strategies in the midst of digital changes, as well as what challenges they face in the adaptation process. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews with 15 PR professionals from various industry sectors, both private, public, and non-profit organizations, who have undergone a digitalization process in their public relations activities. The results show that PR professionals have made a significant reorientation to communication strategies, by integrating digital technologies such as social media, content marketing, and audience data analysis. These changes are also accompanied by a transformation of work culture, including the increasing need for digital competencies, work flexibility, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. However, digital adaptation also faces a number of obstacles, including digital competency gaps, limited technology infrastructure, internal organizational resistance to change, and ethical and data security challenges. This research emphasizes the importance of institutional support, ongoing training, and strategic policies that support the digital transformation of PR in an inclusive manner. This finding is expected to be a theoretical as well as practical contribution in enriching the study of communication transformation in the digital era, especially in the realm of Public Relations.

Abstract

The results show that documentary media is effective in building emotional and educational narratives, and is able to increase audience knowledge and interest in Kacang Kowa. The campaign also encouraged community participation in supporting local products. In conclusion, documentary films have the potential to be a strategic tool in social campaigns to preserve Indonesia's culinary culture.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the utilization of 3D animation as a visual communication medium in introducing and preserving the culture of Topeng Malang. Topeng Malang is one of the intangible cultural heritages that has high philosophical, aesthetic, and historical values, but its existence has begun to be eroded by the times and the lack of exposure among the younger generation. The method used in this research is a qualitative-descriptive approach with the stages of data collection through literature study, observation, and interviews with local artists and cultural experts. The results show that 3D animation is able to effectively represent the visual and narrative characteristics of Topeng Malang, and has great potential as a medium for cultural education and promotion in modern digital platforms. By combining traditional elements and contemporary visual technology, 3D animation becomes a bridge of cultural communication that is engaging, informative, and easily accessible to the wider community, especially the younger generation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the representation of sexual objectification of women in cyberspace as depicted in the film Like and Share, directed by Gina S. Noer. The film was chosen for its explicit portrayal of sexual explotation, non-consensual distribution of intimate content, and its impact on women in the digital era. The research applies Sara Mills Model of Critical Discourse Analysis, which focuses on subject positioning within texts, power relations, and their connection to broader social structures. Stuart Hall theory of representation is used to explore how meanings surrounding women’s bodie and sexuality are constructed and produced through cinematic language. The findings reveal that women in the film are portrayed as sexual objects through the camera gaze, character narratives, and the influence of social media. However, thefilm also positions women as active subjects who develop awareness and resist various forms of objectification. Thus, Like and Share not only reproduces dominant meanings regarding female sexuality but also creates a space for critique and reflection on patriarchal digital culture

Abstract

ABSTRAK Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, located on the slopes of Mount Semeru in Lumajang Regency, East Java, is one of the leading tourist destinations with extraordinary visual appeal and natural uniqueness. However, the overall brandingused has not been optimal in attracting a wide range of visitors. This study aims to analyze brandingstrategies that can be applied using Keller's (1993) Destination Brandingtheory with a Customer-Based Brand Equity (CBBE) approach and the Destination Brand Equity dimensions proposed by Konecnik and Gartner (2007). This approach examines elements such as brand awareness, brand associations, perceived quality, and visitor loyalty toward the destination. These elements are also interconnected with the implementation of quality branding, service, and recognition. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, employing data collection techniques such as interviews with informants, field observations, and documentation. The research results indicate that the brandingstrategies employed include strengthening visual identity, collaborating with tourism travel agents, optimizing digital media, and involving local communities in management as POKDARWIS, which can build strong destination brand equity and impact increased tourist visits and local economic empowerment.

Abstract

The advocacy campaign for the ban on the use of single-use plastic bags in Malang Regency aims to reduce the negative impact of plastic waste on the environment and public health. To effectively conduct this advocacy campaign, a well-formulated communication strategy is essential. The formulation of the advocacy communication strategy utilizes the SOSTAC model (Situation Analysis, Objectives, Strategy, Tactics, Action, Control). This research is qualitative, with data sources extracted from reports, scientific publications, and media outlets, and data analysis conducted descriptively. The purpose of this research is to formulate a communication strategy for advocating the policy to ban the use of single-use plastic waste in Malang Regency. The primary goal of this advocacy is to encourage the Malang Regency Government to issue a policy banning the use of single-use plastic bags in the region. The strategy formulated involves various stakeholders, including the government, the community, and business actors, with an engaging and systematic communication approach. The results of the study show that collaboration among all parties is crucial in achieving public awareness and support for the ban on single-use plastics. This success is expected to serve as a model for other regions in Indonesia
