Abstract

This study examines the role of the media in shaping public meaning towards Rohingya refugees in Indonesia through Anthony Giddens' structuration theory. The problem discussed is how the media constructs narratives that are in line with the political and economic interests of the elite, which directly shape the public's meaning towards refugees as a "threat" or "burden." The purpose of this study is to understand in depth how the media uses its reporting mechanisms to shape meaning, control discourse, and legitimize policies regarding Rohingya refugees within the framework of the political economy communication structure. The theories and concepts applied include Giddens' structuration theory, which emphasizes three key elements: significance, dominance, and legitimacy, which provide a framework for empowering how the media shapes perceptions and policies on refugee issues. The methodology used is an analysis of news coverage about Rohingya refugees on SCTV media as an example of media in Indonesia, identifying narratives and interests conveyed in reporting. The analysis shows that coverage such as that carried out by SCTV, shapes public meaning through repeated narratives that depict refugees positively and negatively. The conclusion highlights the media structuring that determines the meaning of public opinion towards Rohingya refugees.

Abstract

Lembang Park and Zoo is an educational tourism destination that has experienced a decline in visitors due to the impact of the pandemic. To address this issue, Lembang Park and Zoo offers an educational tourism program directed at elementary school students. This program supports the elementary school curriculum and increases visitor numbers. However, the lack of promotion made it less known among teachers and parents of elementary schools in Bandung. Therefore, more effective promotional media are needed to attract the attention of teachers, parents, and students and increase visitor numbers. This study identifies elementary school teachers' and parents' needs and preferences and the effectiveness of promotional media through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and literature reviews. The promotional video for the Lembang Park and Zoo Educational Tour Package is designed to introduce the educational program to teachers and parents of elementary students in an informative, effective, and efficient manner. The video is designed to ensure teachers and parents can easily understand the information about educational tours and animal knowledge at Lembang Park and Zoo. This study increases visitor numbers from the elementary school group segment and meets the need for quick and efficient information.

Abstract

This narrative review examines the role of strategic communication in crisis management, focusing particularly on its effectiveness in fostering public trust during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study aims to explore how transparent, responsive, and technology-integrated communication strategies influence collective behavior and institutional legitimacy. Using literature sourced from databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed, this review applies thematic analysis to synthesize findings across three dimensions: government public communication, digital media engagement, and internal organizational resilience. The results reveal that governments employing multimodal communication—combining factual messaging, symbolic narratives, and interactive channels—are more successful in promoting compliance and minimizing misinformation. Countries with open, participatory approaches generally report higher levels of public trust compared to those with top-down, controlled messaging. Additionally, media digitalization facilitates real-time feedback, enhances public engagement, and contributes to crisis transparency. However, systemic challenges such as fragmented communication systems, lack of adaptive training, and weak interagency coordination remain prevalent. These findings suggest the need for integrated policy frameworks that emphasize proactive, dialogic, and technologically enhanced communication strategies. Future studies should focus on developing context-specific models that accommodate cultural and institutional nuances. This review underscores that strategic communication is an indispensable pillar of effective crisis management and should be embedded as a fundamental element of public governance systems.

Abstract

This research examines how Arabic and French historical and contemporary dominance influences intergenerational communication practices in Amazigh in rural Moroccan communities. The Amazigh language, historically the main marker of the Berber community's collective identity, now faces structural and symbolic pressures from state linguistic policies and social representations that privilege the dominant language. This research uses a literature-based qualitative approach with thematic analysis methods on policy documents, legal products, and institutional and media discourse related to the position of the Amazigh language. The analysis results show that the dominance of Arabic and French impacts not only institutional domains such as education, bureaucracy and the media, but also weakens intergenerational linguistic transmission and creates identity distortions among the younger generation of Amazighs. The Amazigh language is slowly being shifted from its public communicative and cultural symbolic function, becoming a domestic language that lacks legitimacy in the national social system. The absence of substantive policy implementation exacerbates this process of marginalization despite constitutional recognition since 2011. In conclusion, linguistic dominance in Morocco's postcolonial context has created communication disruption and an identity crisis within the Amazigh community. Therefore, revitalizing the Amazigh language requires a legal-formal, community-based, and intergenerational approach. This study provides a theoretical and practical basis for a more inclusive language policy, strengthening postcolonial sociolinguistic discourse in the Maghreb region.

Abstract

In the digital era, virtual teams have become the norm in global work environments. However, communication within these teams is often hindered by rigid organizational structures inherited from traditional office settings, especially in healthcare settings where the stakes of miscommunication are significantly higher. This narrative review explores how structural barriers and inadequate adaptation to digital communication platforms compromise interpersonal interaction and team performance. The study employs a comprehensive literature review approach, synthesizing evidence from empirical studies and theoretical models to analyze the challenges and propose strategic interventions. The results indicate that inflexible hierarchies, lack of informal communication spaces, and poor integration of collaborative technologies significantly disrupt information flow and trust-building in virtual teams. Additionally, undefined roles and insufficient digital infrastructure contribute to confusion and miscommunication. The discussion emphasizes the urgency of adopting flexible structures and policies that support real-time, inclusive, and culturally sensitive communication. The review concludes that organizations must implement adaptive work frameworks, invest in digital training, and promote leadership models that align with virtual team dynamics. Recommendations include integrating AI-enabled feedback systems, developing operational guidelines for communication platforms, and designing cross-cultural training programs. These strategies are critical to overcoming structural communication barriers and enhancing team synergy in remote and hybrid environments.
