Abstract

The development of digital technology and algorithms used by social media platforms has transformed the patterns of information consumption in society. The phenomenon of the filter bubble, where users are exposed only to information that aligns with their preferences and beliefs, has narrowed the space for public discourse. This study aims to explore the impact of algorithms on mass communication and its implications for information consumption patterns. The research utilizes a literature review with a descriptive qualitative approach, analyzing various articles and studies related to the influence of algorithms and the filter bubble on media interactions and audiences. The findings reveal that algorithms play a significant role in directing and limiting the types of information users are exposed to. This reinforces the formation of echo chambers, where individuals are more likely to receive information that confirms their existing beliefs, reducing the diversity of perspectives. The study also finds that this phenomenon may exacerbate social polarization, shrink the space for constructive dialogue, and influence political and social behavior. As a result, mass communication in the digital era faces new challenges in creating an inclusive and open public space. This research is expected to provide insights for the development of media policies and digital literacy to address the evolving landscape of mass communication in the future.

Abstract

Regional languages are an important element in the formation of the social and cultural identity of local communities. In the midst of modernization, urbanization, and the dominance of Indonesian as the national language, the use of regional languages is experiencing interesting dynamics to be studied. Informal public spaces such as traditional markets are strategic places to observe people's natural language practices. This study aims to describe and analyze the pattern of use of regional languages, especially Minangkabau languages, in daily interactions between sellers and buyers in traditional markets in Padang City. This study uses a qualitative approach with participatory observation methods and speech recording. Data were collected through direct observation of verbal interactions, dialogue recording, and audio documentation with the informant's permission. Data analysis was carried out using a sociolinguistic approach with a focus on language selection, code switching, and code mixing. The results show that the Minangkabau language still dominates verbal interaction in traditional markets, especially in informal situations and between local speakers who share the same cultural background. Bahasa Indonesia is used selectively and strategically, especially when interacting with immigrant buyers, non-Minangkabau speakers, or in situations that demand clarity of meaning and more formal politeness. The phenomenon of code switching and code mixing is found quite frequently and reflects the speaker's linguistic flexibility in adapting the language to the social context, communication goals, and characteristics of the opponent. These findings show that traditional markets not only function as a center of economic activity, but also as a social and cultural space that plays an important role in maintaining the sustainability and vitality of regional languages in the midst of social changes in urban society.

Abstract

The Mentawai Islands, as one of Indonesia's Frontier, Outermost, and Disadvantaged (3T) regions, face the challenge of structural poverty that contradicts its rich natural resources. This study aims to formulate the concept of "Meaningful Productivity" as a poverty alleviation strategy that integrates local cultural values with modern economic efficiency. Using descriptive qualitative methods, this study found that conventional productivity, which focuses solely on physical quantities, often fails because it ignores the socio-cultural context of Arat Sabulungan. The results of the discussion indicate that downstreaming of local commodities (sago and coconut) and the development of community-based ecotourism are key pillars of meaningful productivity. This strategy has been proven to increase income while maintaining cultural identity, which is key to economic sustainability in the 3T region.
