Abstract

This study employs a qualitative method with a case study research approach. The subject of this research is I Channel TV Bandung, while the object is the media partnership on the Instagram account @inikpop. Informants were selected using purposive sampling. Data collection methods include observation, interviews, literature review, and documentation. Data analysis techniques involve data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Data validity testing is conducted through source triangulation. The results of this study indicate that the partnership established through media collaboration on the Instagram account @inikpop includes cooperation in the form of advertising and promotional media publications for event organizers, building a positive corporate image through program quality and partnerships, as well as engaging with the audience to foster closeness. Media partnerships help I Channel TV maintain its existence amidst competition from online and digital media through its flagship program, INIKPOP, which also has its own promotional media channels such as Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. In addition to media partnerships, active engagement on social media also assists I Channel TV in attracting back television audiences, who have started to decline, by presenting information content that is packaged in an engaging and distinctive manner on social media. This approach helps balance television's existence with the advancement of online media technology in people's daily lives.

Abstract

The Ujungan tradition is an attraction performed by a group of people, where participants whip each other using rattan. This tradition is held once a year during the Seren Taun traditional ceremony. The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences, motives, and meanings of the Ujungan tradition for its performers within the Kasepuhan Cibadak community, Lebak Regency, Banten. This study employs a qualitative method with Alfred Schutz’s phenomenological approach. Primary data collection techniques include active participant observation and semi-structured interviews, while secondary data are obtained from document studies/documentation. The study involves four key informants who are Ujungan performers and two supporting informants, consisting of spectators and cultural experts. Data validity is ensured through source triangulation. The findings reveal that the performers experience emotional enjoyment. The "because motives" are influenced by the role of traditional leaders and the performers’ self-awareness as part of the Kasepuhan Cibadak community. Meanwhile, the "in-order-to motives" focus on preserving the Ujungan tradition as a cultural heritage. For the performers, the Ujungan tradition carries meanings of tradition, ritual, and karesmen (artistic expression). Therefore, the Ujungan tradition in the Kasepuhan Cibadak community, Lebak Regency, Banten, is regarded as entertainment with local wisdom values. The tradition also fosters values of togetherness and trust, symbolizing protection for circumcised boys, ensuring their safety from misfortune.

Abstract

This study examines how Detik.com and Kompas.com frame news coverage of the Constitutional Court’s decision on Article 169 letter q of Law No. 7 of 2017, which allows presidential and vice-presidential candidates to be at least 40 years old or have previously held an elected position. The decision, issued in October 2023, sparked public debate regarding youth involvement in politics and constitutional consistency. Employing a qualitative method with a framing analysis approach, data collection was conducted through purposive sampling, observation, documentation, and interviews. The results reveal contrasting framing strategies between the two media outlets. Detik.com frames the decision positively, viewing it as a progressive step to encourage youth participation in national politics. In the problem definition element, Detik.com highlights the benefits for young generations, while Kompas.com frames it as controversial, emphasizing its potential to undermine legal stability. In diagnosing causes, Detik.com attributes the ruling to efforts to empower younger politicians, whereas Kompas.com identifies inconsistencies within the Constitutional Court as the root issue. For moral judgment, Detik.com regards the decision as momentum for youth political consolidation, while Kompas.com criticizes its adverse constitutional implications despite acknowledging its finality. In treatment recommendation, Detik.com suggests eliminating discrimination against youth in politics based on merit, while Kompas.com recommends rejecting the ruling to prevent further complications. This study concludes that media framing significantly shapes public perception, with Detik.com and Kompas.com reflecting differing editorial stances. The findings emphasize the crucial role of balanced, objective reporting in fostering an informed public discourse on political decisions.

Abstract

Social media has become a vital component in crisis communication, particularly during global emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This narrative review investigates how social media platforms are utilized by formal and informal actors to disseminate crisis-related information, shape public perception, and influence behavioral responses. Using a systematic literature review approach, scholarly articles were sourced from databases including Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science, focusing on studies from 2010 to 2024 that explore digital crisis communication in public health, natural disasters, and political crises. The review finds that governmental and health institutions use social media to broadcast real-time updates and counter misinformation. Informal communicators, such as influencers and citizen journalists, play a significant role in extending message reach, though not without challenges related to accuracy. Factors like digital literacy and public trust in institutions emerge as key determinants of communication effectiveness. Strategies such as clear messaging, visual aids, real-time engagement, and culturally contextualized content were identified as successful practices. This review highlights the critical need for education-driven interventions and collaborative communication frameworks that enhance public understanding and institutional legitimacy. It concludes that adaptive, data-driven strategies tailored to audience behavior and systemic contexts are essential for effective crisis communication in the digital age.

Abstract

This paper examines systemic factors influencing digital transformation in the public sector, with a focus on bureaucratic structures, regulatory environments, and human resource capabilities. The study aims to explore how strategic alignment and collaborative leadership shape the success of digital initiatives. Utilizing a narrative review approach, the analysis synthesizes evidence from global case studies and recent empirical research. The findings indicate that while technological adoption improves operational efficiency, systemic constraints often hinder transformative outcomes. Leadership vision, stakeholder prioritization, and inclusive strategies are identified as pivotal in addressing challenges such as legacy system integration, uneven infrastructure, and resistance to change. The discussion highlights significant disparities between central and local agencies, underscoring the need for adaptive policy frameworks, standardized digital maturity models, and strengthened cross-sector collaboration.This study emphasizes the necessity of holistic digital strategies that merge technological innovation with institutional reform. The implications suggest that targeted policy measures—such as interoperable system development, capacity-building programs, and GovTech ecosystem support—are crucial for long-term digital governance success. Future research should delve into context-specific digital readiness and performance frameworks to bridge current knowledge gaps and support inclusive digital transformation pathways.
