Abstract

This study examines patterns of children's interaction in Roblox gameplay, focusing on friendship formation, the use of digital symbols, and the social implications of gameplay. Using a qualitative netnographic approach, data were collected through observation and chat documentation of two popular maps: Brookhaven RP and the Mountain Climbing map. Thematic analysis indicates that children form friendships through spontaneous greetings, collaborative activities, and identity-related conversations, such as discussions of school levels. Digital symbols, emoticons, and slang are used to express closeness and build shared social meaning. The study also shows that virtual interactions enhance solidarity and empathy, but also trigger the absorption of adult cultural symbols that children do not fully comprehend.

Abstract

Toxic masculinity speech is a negative communication expression rooted in a culture of masculinity and giving rise to social constructions of maleness. Although global studies on toxic masculinity have been immensely expanded, research emphasizing this practice on social media in Indonesia is still limited. This study analyzes expressions of toxic masculinity in Instagram user comments about Emil Mario, one of the account owners who is frequently in the spotlight and the target of toxic speech on the platform. The research corpus was compiled from 160 comments on 10 posts from January to June 2025 and analyzed using qualitative content analysis methods, employing thematic coding. The results identified five main themes: gender stereotypes, verbal aggression, physical objectification, dominance and control, and rejection of feminine behavior. The results also found the presence of prominent local pejorative terms, confirming the conclusion that expressions of toxic masculinity also reflect local cultural characteristics in the digital space.

Abstract

Instagram has become one of the platforms for conveying information through engaging narratives, easily accessible, close to daily life, especially for Generation Z. This study aims to investigate the storytelling content of the Instagram account @menjadimanusia.id in fostering mental health awareness among Generation Z. This study uses a qualitative method. Data collection techniques included non-participatory observation of content in April 2025 and in-depth interviews with 10 Generation Z followers of the @menjadimanusia.id account for 2 years. The results of the study show that storytelling content in carousel format is the preferred format by Generation Z in building mental health awareness because it delivers messages gradually, concisely, and touchingly. Reels and reflective quote content strengthen the emotional resonance of Generation Z. This study also found that Generation Z follows the account @menjadimanusia.id because they feel emotionally connected to the presented narratives that reflect personal experiences, psychological pressures, or inner struggles, thereby providing positive energy that helps build their mental health awareness.

Abstract

This study analyzes the discourse construction of the local Lampung media, Lampung Geh, in reporting the development of the cable car in Bandar Lampung during the period of February-June 2025. The study uses Teun A. van Dijk's critical discourse analysis model. This research examines four news articles focusing on text structure (macro, superstructure, micro), social cognition, and social context. The results show that the media consistently constructs the government as a visionary actor and foreign investors as saviors, while positioning the public passively. The study also reveals the dominant ideologies at work in the text: developmentalism, which naturalizes physical development as the sole indicator of progress while ignoring social and environmental factors, and technocratism, which depoliticizes development into technical-administrative issues, excluding public participation. Both of these ideologies work simultaneously to legitimize foreign capital involvement and to close off space for criticism of contract transparency, structural dependency risks, and locally based development alternatives. The media functions more as an instrument of political development legitimacy than as a critical public space. This research contributes to the study of development communication and promotes critical literacy among the public regarding local media discourse.

Abstract

Increasing competition among universities calls for structured, measurable communication strategies, particularly for building a strong academic identity. Although the literature on university branding continues to grow, research on the implementation of strategic frameworks within Marcomm units at private universities in Indonesia remains limited. This study analyzes the communication strategies of the Marketing Communication (Marcomm) team at the Faculty of Psychology and Social and Cultural Sciences (FPSB) of the Islamic University of Indonesia (UII) in building the institution’s academic image. The study employs a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with FPSB Marcomm managers and analyzed using the SMART framework (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound). The findings indicate that FPSB’s Marcomm strategies specifically target high school students, use digital metrics as indicators of success, align programs with available resource capacity, and design activities based on the academic calendar. This study concludes that the SMART framework is an effective model for guiding strategic communication in higher education institutions with limited resources.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe data journalism practices on the TikTok account @riaupos and to identify the challenges encountered in implementing it as a form of data journalism. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a case study method. Research data were collected through observation, documentation of several short video posts on the TikTok account @riaupos, and interviews. The data were analyzed using Paul Bradshaw’s data journalism model and Henry Jenkins’ theory of media convergence. The results indicate that data journalism practices on the TikTok account @riaupos involve processing data into short videos that combine visualization and narrative. Analysis of several pieces of content demonstrates the application of data journalism elements as defined by Paul Bradshaw. The primary challenges include difficulty obtaining data, a lengthy verification process, and a high workload. Additionally, Henry Jenkins’ media convergence theory is evident in multimedia integration, team collaboration, and cross-platform distribution.

Abstract

The wave of national demonstrations in August 2025 prompted the emergence of the symbolic digital campaign Brave Pink which spread widely on social media and gained widespread engagement among Generation Z. This study is based on the Uses and Effects theory which explains the relationship between digital media exposure, psychological responses, and the formation of political awareness. This study aims to analyze the influence of the Brave Pink campaign on the political awareness of Generation Z with Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) as a mediating variable. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey design of 396 followers of the Instagram account @barengwarga. Data analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling with the Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) approach. The results showed that the Brave Pink campaign had a significant effect on Fear of Missing Out (β = 0.910; p < 0.001) and a direct effect on political awareness (β = 0.622; p < 0.001). Fear of Missing Out also had a significant effect on political awareness (β = 0.370; p < 0.001) and acted as a partial mediator. The research model has very strong predictive power with an R² value of 0.943. This study provides a theoretical contribution by developing the Uses and Effects framework in the context of digital political communication, specifically through the integration of Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) as a psychological mechanism that bridges the relationship between exposure to symbolic digital campaigns and the formation of political awareness. These findings broaden the understanding of the role of emotional factors in strengthening media effects on Generation Z audiences.

Abstract

This study aims to explore how communication practices, particularly the mention of husbands' names and titles, shape women's identities within military wives' organizations in Indonesia. Within this organizational structure, women's personal identities are often reduced to secondary identities related to their husbands' positions. Using Sara Mills' critical discourse analysis, this study examines the roles of subject and object, as well as the representation of women in organizational discourse. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with soldiers' wives across ranks and through observations of symbolic interactions on social media. The results show that the practice of mentioning husbands' names and titles functions as a form of symbolic violence that fragments women's authentic identities. This phenomenon creates a condition in which women become "integrated wives," with their personal agency absorbed by the institution's image. In the digital era, this construction is further reinforced through the disciplining of women's bodies and behaviors on social media to maintain the authority of their husbands' positions. This study concludes that military wives' organizations remain spaces that maintain bureaucratic patriarchy, which positions women as mirrors of male power.

Abstract

The revision of the Indonesian National Armed Forces Act (TNI Bill) has triggered strong public opposition, especially digital activism on TikTok under the hashtag #TolakRUUTNI. This study investigates how people use the #TolakRUUTNI hashtag on TikTok for digital activism, employing netnography. Data come from observations of 23 TikTok videos and user comments. Findings show digital activism focuses on three main areas: criticizing the substance and legislative process; framing the context, actors, and history; and calling out public apathy while urging solidarity. Users express criticism through strategies like citizen journalism, sarcasm, fear appeals, emotion, playful activism, and calls to action. This study shows how TikTok helps people spread messages on social and political issues.

Abstract

The massive growth in TikTok users has made audiovisual content a key tool in building consumer trust. This study aims to analyze the creative strategies of the @erigo.store account in producing audiovisual content and to identify the factors that influence this creative process. This study employs a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with Erigo’s creative team and participatory observation of their content production patterns. The findings reveal that Erigo’s creative strategy is implemented through four systematic phases: preparation, incubation, illumination, and evaluation. The production process is strictly executed through pre-production, production, and post-production stages to ensure consistent content quality. Theoretically, this research's implications contribute to the study of creative communication management within the new media ecosystem, particularly regarding the adaptation of traditional production workflows to dynamic short-form video formats. Practically, the results of this research provide a model for creative industry practitioners and other fashion brands to integrate structured production management with the flexibility of digital trends to optimize brand engagement.
