Abstract

This study examined the narrative construction of conflict in Koran Kaltim’s reporting on the Karang Mumus River normalisation program Although news is often presented as objective and factual, the findings showed that news texts also function as narratives, featuring characters, conflict, and causal sequences. Using a qualitative, narrative analysis, this research examined six news articles published between 2022 and 2025. Vladimir Propp’s narrative framework was applied to identify narrative structures, the dramatisation of conflict, and the positioning of social actors within the news. The results indicated that the news was organised as a coherent narrative with a clear linear progression, beginning from the emergence of conflict and leading to its resolution. Conflict was mainly constructed around issues of compensation uncertainty and the demolition process. In addition, the study consistently found a pattern of binary opposition, in which government actors were portrayed as legitimate problem solvers, while affected residents were portrayed as obstacles to policy implementation. This study contributed to the field of narrative journalism by showing that routine news reporting could function as a structured narrative,thereby extending the application of Propp’s theory into news discourse. From an Islamic perspective, the findings also emphasised the ethical importance of fair and balanced representation, particularly in relation to the concept of mazhlum (the oppressed). This highlights the need for more inclusive and socially responsible media narratives

Abstract

This study explores the transformation of Islamic boarding school da'wah in the digital era implemented by two types of Islamic boarding schools, namely Al-Basyariyah Islamic boarding school in Madiun as a representative of Salaf Islamic boarding schools and Nurul Jadid Islamic boarding school in Probolinggo as a representative of modern Islamic boarding schools. Al-Basyariyah Islamic boarding school, despite having limited facilities and a simple team, has still begun to adapt to social media as a medium for da'wah, especially in sharing daily activities. Likewise, Nurul Jadid Islamic boarding school utilizes complete equipment and a structured content management team, with a focus on informative posts about Islamic da'wah. The results of the study show that the transformation of Islamic boarding school da'wah in the digital era is carried out through digital activism through social media such as websites, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. The impacts resulting from digital activism as a form of da'wah transformation in the digital era are expanding the reach of da'wah, creating a positive image of Islamic boarding schools because they can conduct da'wah that is relevant to current developments, and can shape students who have skills in the field of multimedia.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the communication strategies implemented by the Wali Nanggroe in safeguarding peace, governing Aceh, fostering media relations, as well as identifying the challenges encountered. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, aiming to systematically and comprehensively portray a social phenomenon within its natural context. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that the communication strategy of the Wali Nanggroe in safeguarding peace in Aceh is carried out through two main models: high-level communication with national and international figures to ensure the implementation of the peace agreement or the Helsinki MoU and the Law on the Governing of Aceh (LoGA), as well as direct communication with the community, former combatants, traditional leaders, and religious scholars to gather aspirations, foster collective awareness, and detect potential conflicts at an early stage. In addition, a cultural approach is employed through the empowerment of traditional institutions in Aceh.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) has generated growing ethical concerns related to governance, accountability, human rights, and social risk. In Indonesia, these concerns increasingly emerge within a complex media environment characterized by interactions between mainstream online news media and social media platforms. This study examines how AI ethics discourse is constructed and circulated through intermedia agenda-setting processes. The study uses a quantitative content analysis paired with intermedia agenda-setting approaches to examine AI ethical coverage in mainstream online news media and social media over a specific period. The findings show that mainstream online news media maintains agenda leadership in affecting the relevance and timeliness of AI ethical debate, notably through governance- and regulation-focused framing. However, social media plays an important complementary function by magnifying public concern and offering risk- and harm-oriented framing that might occasionally affect journalistic narratives. Frame transfer study reveals an unbalanced but interacting relationship in which institutional frames largely move from news media to social media, although experiential and moral frames may migrate in the reverse direction during periods of increased public attention. This study enhances intermedia agenda-setting theory by applying it to AI ethics and provides empirical insights into the media's influence on ethical communication and regulation of emerging technologies in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the political communication strategy of the NasDem Party in North Sumatra during the 2024 General Election, focusing on how the Indonesian Restoration Movement (Gerakan Restorasi Indonesia) functioned as a central narrative in shaping voter perception, party identity, and electoral outcomes. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study collected data through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. The analytical framework is grounded in Stuart Hall’s Encoding–Decoding theory, enabling an exploration of how political messages were constructed and interpreted within the socio-cultural context of North Sumatra. The findings indicate that NasDem’s communication strategy was institutionalized and implemented through four integrated components: (1) the use of simple and contextually grounded political language, (2) consistent deployment of symbolic political identity, (3) hybrid integration of grassroots mobilization and digital media, and (4) sustained two-way communication with the public. This strategy effectively reduced the cognitive distance between political ideology and everyday life, fostered emotional proximity between the party and voters, and strengthened long-term voter loyalty. The party’s stable electoral growth from 2014 to 2024 confirms that sustainable reminder of political success is driven not by campaign intensity alone, but by the continuous institutionalization of culturally resonant, emotionally engaging, and participatory communication practices. This study contributes to political communication scholarship by extending the application of the Encoding–Decoding model to regional Indonesian politics and demonstrating the importance of long-term communication institutionalization in sustaining electoral support and democratic engagement.

Abstract

Spiritual healing has increasingly been recognized as a meaningful resource in mental health recovery; however, the psychological mechanisms through which spiritual practices facilitate recovery remain insufficiently examined, particularly within Islamic healing traditions. Drawing on Bandura’s social cognitive theory, this study investigates self-efficacy as a central psychological mechanism in Sufi healing and explores how structured spiritual practices contribute to strengthening individuals’ perceived capacity to cope with psychological distress. Using a qualitative phenomenological design, this study was conducted at an Islamic boarding school in Indonesia that integrates Sufi-based spiritual healing practices. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with ten participants, including spiritual leaders, mentors, and individuals undergoing spiritual healing, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Four interrelated themes emerged: restored confidence, spiritual empowerment, psychological strengthening, and renewed sense of agency. Participants described increased emotional stability, enhanced confidence, and greater perceived control over their lives following engagement in spiritual practices such as dhikr, prayer, and guided mentorship. The findings suggest that Sufi healing facilitates psychological recovery not solely through spiritual experience but through strengthening self-efficacy beliefs that support adaptive coping and resilience. This study advances the field of spirituality and mental health by empirically positioning self-efficacy as a mediating psychological mechanism linking spiritual practice and psychological recovery within a non-Western Islamic context.

Abstract

The Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (PKS) and the Gerakan Indonesia Raya (Gerindra), two prominent political parties in West Sumatra, have cadre development programs. This study examines these programs' effects on organizational sustainability and election results. Despite using quite distinct cadre-building strategies, both parties remained competitive in the West Sumatra Provincial Legislative Elections of 2019 and 2024. In-depth interviews with nine key informants, including party cadres, executives, and political observers, were used in conjunction with document analysis of internal policies and training initiatives as part of a qualitative comparative approach. The analysis framework incorporates Randall and Svåsand's (2002) metrics of systemness and value infusion in addition to Huntington's (1968) four aspects of party institutionalization (adaptability, complexity, autonomy, and coherence). Results show that PKS's methodical, hierarchical cadre training cultivates cadres with strong ideological commitment, steadfast allegiance, and continuous constituent involvement, resulting in a consistent rise in votes from 389,526 in 2019 to 453,572 in 2024. The vote reduction from 476,985 (2019) to 427,177 (2024) is correlated with Gerindra's flexible, experience-driven methodology, which prioritizes electoral mobilization over organized value inculcation. These different routes highlight how party cohesion, resilience, and long-term electoral viability are influenced by the caliber of cadre development. Parties that prioritize systematic value-based training tend to produce stronger institutionalization and more durable structures over electoral cycles, however no single model is always better.

Abstract

Career Development Services in Higher Education are a crucial pillar in producing productive, work-ready graduates. In practice, each university faces various obstacles in preparing students for their careers, both in terms of infrastructure and external networks. This study aims to compare career development service models at State Universities (PTN) and State Islamic Religious Universities (PTKIN), focusing on the career centers of the Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS) and UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through semi-structured interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) involving career center administrators. The results show that both institutions provide similar core services, including career counseling, job vacancy information, recruitment programs, job fairs, and tracer studies. These services are designed to bridge the gap between graduates and the labor market while enhancing students’ competencies and employability. However, differences are found in institutional structure, service delivery, and program emphasis. ITS demonstrates a stronger system in managing career portals and establishing partnerships with industry, which facilitates alumni connections with companies. In contrast, UIN Sunan Kalijaga shows greater emphasis on career preparation through structured graduation briefing programs and continuous career guidance. In conclusion, although PTN and PTKIN share similar objectives in supporting student career development, their service models differ in implementation strategies and institutional priorities. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening career center services to improve graduate readiness and competitiveness in the labor market.

Abstract

Food security is vital to people’s lives as a basic human need. Consequently, the role of the government both central and local is essential in ensuring food security. Policies relating to food security are geared towards achieving food self-sufficiency and food sovereignty. Appropriate policy strategies are required to achieve sustainable food security through improved management of local resources. One strategy that can be implemented is the circular economy model. Sustainable food security through a circular economy system can be realised through the production and consumption of natural resources, for example soya beans. This is an interesting area for research, particularly in Majalengka, which is a leading soybean-producing region and is renowned for its distinctive local processed products. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. The results of the study indicate that the integration of sustainable food security policies and the circular economy in the soya bean sector in Majalengka requires synergy between a comprehensive policy framework, the coordinated involvement of subsystems, clear and measurable policy objectives, and effective policy instruments.
