Abstract

This study examines the transformation of Beuet Seumubeuet from a religious teaching tradition into a political communication model used by Dayah Ulama in the dynamics of Islamic political change in Aceh, particularly in the emergence and consolidation of the PAS-Aceh Local Party. The tradition, which initially served as a medium for transmitting religious values based on local wisdom, has now developed into a strategic instrument for shaping public opinion and strengthening the legitimacy of religion-based politics. The purpose of this study is to analyze the political communication practices of Dayah Ulama, trace the development of political discourse articulated in Beuet Seumubeuet, and explain the role of this tradition in the process of transformation of local Islamic politics. Using a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, data were collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation with document and social media content analysis. Data were analyzed based on the stages of bracketing, reduction, imaginative variation, and synthesis of meaning. The results show that Beuet Seumubeuet is no longer merely a traditional religious practice. It has served as a dynamic and adaptive communication model. Through this tradition, Dayah Ulama can translate theological principles into effective political messages, build public trust, and shape policy orientations aligned with Islamic values. These findings confirm the assertion that Beuet Seumubeuet is a structured mechanism that has played a significant role in transforming Islamic politics in Aceh. Thus, this study contributes conceptually and empirically to the understanding of the relationship between religious authority, political communication, and socio-political change in Aceh.

Abstract

Thrifting in Indonesia is becoming increasingly popular, with young people leading the trend. The government’s ban on the sale and purchase of thrifted clothing does not prevent consumers from continuing to use thrifted clothing, as they consider these products are good and the prices are affordable. Therefore, thrifted clothing has become a lifestyle among young people, including students. This research uses a quantitative, survey-based approach. Primary data was obtained from questionnaires, while secondary data was obtained from journals, books, and other documents. The population of this study was the students of SMK Wijaya Kusuma Surakarta, and the sample consisted of 100 respondents from the school. This study used logistic regression (binary logit) to determine which students bought and which did not buy thrifted clothing. The results showed that, individually, word of mouth had a significant effect of 0.010, product quality was 0.047, price was 0.033, and lifestyle was 0.009. The simultaneous test was 0.000, with a chi-square of 67.101.

Abstract

The keris serves as a profound symbol of identity and spirituality in the Indonesian archipelago. Beyond its function as a weapon, the keris carries high historical value and symbolic meaning, acting as a medium of cultural communication that expresses social status, spiritual beliefs, and moral legitimacy among the Javanese elite. Its existence sparks debate between ascetic perspectives, which reject its mystical elements, and cultural viewpoints, which regard ownership as a means of preserving Javanese tradition and spirituality. This research employs a qualitative ethnographic approach, collecting data through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, documentation, coding, thematization, and narrative analysis. The study uses Max Weber’s theory of social action as the interpretive framework to understand the symbolic role of the keris in elite Javanese society. The findings show that the Keris functions as a medium of symbolic communication linking rational, emotional, and traditional aspects within the social dynamics of the Javanese elite. Instrumental-rational action is reflected in the awareness of possessing and maintaining the keris as a strategy to reinforce social authority. Value-oriented action reflects moral and spiritual responsibility in the ritual care of the keris. Affective action manifests in emotional attachment and pride in the keris as a personal symbol. Finally, traditional action persists through inherited customs that sustain the continuity of keris culture.

Abstract

This study provides a bibliometric and thematic analysis of global research on strategic communication from 1970 to 2025. Using data from Scopus processed with RStudio (Biblioshiny), 3,953 documents from 976 academic sources were analyzed to identify thematic structures, conceptual evolution, and geographic trends shaping this discipline. The results reveal that strategic communication has evolved from a managerial and public relations perspective into a multidimensional, data- and value-based field that integrates digital technology, ethics, and sustainability. Three dominant clusters were identified: (1) digital communication and public engagement, (2) crisis and risk communication, and (3) sustainability and corporate social responsibility. Thematic evolution reveals a paradigm shift from classical public relations (1970–1990) to integrated marketing communication (2000s) and digital sustainability communication (2010–2025). Research trends highlight an increasing focus on social media, trust, CSR, AI, and sustainability since 2015, marking the emergence of a data-driven, ethical communication paradigm. Geographically, the United States and Western Europe dominate publication output, but growing contributions from Asia—especially China and India—reflect a more diverse, multipolar academic landscape. This study provides theoretical and practical insights for developing globally adaptive and ethically grounded strategic communication frameworks.

Abstract

This study analyzes how online media frames disaster issues through an agenda-setting theory approach, with a particular focus on identifying agenda elements, strengths, and weaknesses in messages related to the megathrust threat in Indonesia. Using qualitative content analysis, this study examined 24 articles published on the Kompas.com news portal between August 12 and 30, 2024. The findings show that Kompas.com consistently prioritized the megathrust issue, emphasizing threats in specific regions, such as the Sunda Strait and southern Java. The outlet successfully constructed a preparedness narrative by highlighting concrete mitigation measures, including the use of disaster preparedness bags and early warning systems. However, the analysis reveals weaknesses in the use of complex technical language and a tendency toward sensational framing that risks triggering excessive public anxiety without adequate mitigation counterbalance. Coverage was dominated by institutional actors (BMKG and BNPB), with active, independent community participation underemphasized. Theoretically, this research reinforces the agenda-setting mechanism, demonstrating that online media strongly tend to frame disaster issues through educational and preparedness narratives. In practice, it recommends that media balance urgency reporting with accessible, practical solutions to minimize negative psychological impacts on the public.

Abstract

One of the phenomena that emerged during Ramadan 2024 in Indonesia was the war takjil, the rise of new funny short-video content on social media showing people hunting for food to break the fast. Uniquely, this activity is not only followed by Muslims but also by non-Muslims. This study examines the song Rindu Muhammadku by Haddad Alwi, which often appears in its source content on YouTube, to identify the communication networks formed in the comments during Ramadan 2024 and to examine how these networks can foster mutual respect between religious communities. Through Social Network Analysis using the Netlytic web tool to analyze 2,500 user comments, it was found that the five largest communication networks exhibited diverse, generally positive interactions that emphasized tolerance. The three largest networks featured non-Muslims praising the song; one network showed expressions of pride in being a convert, while the other, although conveying a message of tolerance, sparked discussions that were often unhealthy. This research is expected to encourage further studies on religious and ethnic tolerance, given Indonesia’s diverse ethnic groups.

Abstract

Low voter turnout is an indicator of voter apathy in exercising their right to vote. The national voter turnout target is estimated at 79.5%, achievable if the abstention rate does not exceed 20.5%. The objective of this study is to develop a model for first-time voter participation through a communication strategy based on sociocultural networks for the 2024 general elections. A purposive sampling method was used in this study. Data were collected through interviews and questionnaires. The results showed that, among 111 respondents, 41% received information about the presidential elections and presidential candidates through social media. A total of 97% declared their intention to exercise their right to vote. Social media plays a crucial role as an intercultural social communication strategy for first-time voters. They use social media posts as a medium for discussion with their friends (51%), family (20%), and organizations (7%). Others follow discussions on WhatsApp groups, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. The results of this study show that, for the first time, it is possible to improve the development of electoral participation patterns by using social media as a communication strategy, creating shorter but clearer, simpler, more streamlined, and more attractive messages.

Abstract

Qur’an memorization (tahfiz) involves ongoing cognitive and emotional processes that may contribute to psychological stress among students. In this context, the quality of communication between teachers and students plays a crucial role in maintaining psychological balance during the learning process. This study aims to analyze the therapeutic communication practices of tahfiz teachers and examine their effect on student burnout at Maahad Tahfiz Akademi Miftahul Ulum Ampang, Selangor, Malaysia. This study employed a mixed-methods approach with an explanatory design. Quantitative data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 28 students and analyzed using simple linear regression. Meanwhile, qualitative data were obtained through interviews and observations to enrich the quantitative findings. The results indicate that therapeutic communication among tahfiz teachers falls within the moderate-to-high category, particularly in the dimensions of empathy and warmth. Student burnout was found to be at a moderate level, with a tendency toward increased exhaustion. Regression analysis revealed a significant negative relationship between therapeutic communication and student burnout, with an explanatory contribution of 40.1%. Thus, therapeutic communication serves as a protective factor against student burnout and contributes to both the effectiveness of tahfiz learning and students’ mental well-being.

Abstract

This study examines the preservation of West Kalimantan’s local culture through the Sinema Mikro Program by the Siberdaya Galang Sinergi Community, focusing on film screenings and culturally themed discussions in coastal and island areas. This issue is significant because globalization shifts the younger generation’s attention from local cultural identity, necessitating innovative strategies to maintain cultural existence. The research aims to analyze the effectiveness of Sinema Mikro in introducing and preserving local cultural values, and to design more effective strategies. A qualitative method with an ethnographic approach was employed, involving participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and domain-theme analysis at six screening locations (Lemukutan, Kabung, Temajuk, Tayan, Karimata, Batu Ampar). The results showed that film screening combined with participatory discussions improved cultural understanding, social interaction, and dialogue, although community responses varied according to socio-economic conditions, accessibility, and demographics. In conclusion, the program is effective in expanding cultural literacy in remote areas and is recommended for developing context-based local programs, as well as for advanced research to measure long-term impacts and support the advancement of national culture.

Abstract

This study examined the framing of Rohingya refugee coverage in ANTARA Aceh amid rising social tension influenced by negative narratives on social media. Guided by agenda-setting theory and Robert Entman’s framing model, it analyzed 12 online news articles from aceh.antaranews.com, supported by interviews with two ANTARA Aceh journalists. Methodologically, this study contributes by integrating framing analysis and transitivity analysis through a triangulated approach. Unlike prior studies that rely mainly on identifying framing elements, this study treats Entman’s elements as linguistic indicators to elicit frames and verifies them through transitivity, offering a more systematic analysis. The findings show that ANTARA Aceh predominantly employed a security frame, particularly through narratives of crime and social order. The issue was defined in terms of public security, law enforcement, and social disruption, such as refugee escape, smuggling, and community rejection. Causes were linked to both structural weaknesses and situational factors, while moral judgment positioned refugees as both vulnerable and problematic. The proposed solutions emphasized control, relocation, and legal enforcement. Transitivity analysis confirmed that linguistic patterns in headlines reinforced this framing. This study demonstrates how media framing is constructed and validated at the linguistic level, highlighting how a state news agency prioritizes security over humanitarian concerns.
