However, evidence shows that citizens are losing trust on the government owing to misleading information. Thus, it has become imperative to investigate the underlying aim of government communication and the consequence of the approach adopted by the governments in engaging with their citizens. This paper sought to peripherally investigate the approach adopted by the Nigerian government between May 29th 2015, and May 29th 2023. Since the work of marketing the government is predominately domiciled within the official functions of the Minister of Information and Culture, this paper focuses on the speeches made by the then Minister.

To attain the basic aim of this paper, qualitative content analysis was adopted by the researcher, which allows for the speeches made by the Minister within the timeframe being studied to be examined. This study found that most of the information and speeches made via interviews, press releases and press conferences for public consumption by the then Minister of on issues about security and economy were generally misleading. Thus, the study recommended that the government adopt a different but balanced approach, as its current strategy will likely cause general disillusionment amongst the citizenry. The balance must keep the citizens gainfully informed, even considering public safety, interest and the government's official secrets.

Abstract

This comparative study explores the role of social media in building community resilience during the Covid-19 pandemic, focusing on citizens' communication habits. Community resilience, defined as the ability to withstand, adapt, and recover from adverse situations, is crucial, especially in the face of crises like pandemics. Effective strategic communication with the target audience is vital for creating and maintaining community resilience. Strategic communication plays a key role in helping communities prepare, respond, and recover by providing clear information, encouraging cooperation, and fostering adaptable behaviors. In the digital age, where a significant portion of the population lives online, social media platforms serve as essential tools for collecting information, disseminating crisis-related news, mobilizing the audience, and contributing to crisis management efforts. This study, conducted between May 5-10, 2020, with 800 participants from Turkey and 800 from the USA, reveals that individuals in both countries spend a considerable amount of time online, utilizing at least 3-4 social media applications. Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter are identified as popular platforms. Most importantly, both Turkey and the United States demonstrate resilient societies, and there is a significant correlation between community resilience and the use of social media for obtaining information during the Covid-19 crisis. This emphasizes the critical role of crisis communication as a key success factor in building community resilience.

Abstract

This study explores the communication strategies of Indonesia and Singapore in enforcing environmental law, particularly in the context of the Awyu and Moi tribes' refusal to give up their customary forests for palm oil plantations. Using a descriptive-comparative qualitative method, it highlights the differences in the two countries' environmental legal frameworks and communication approaches. With a low Environmental Performance Index (EPI) rating, Indonesia struggles with bureaucratic challenges in implementing its environmental laws, based on the 1945 Constitution and the 2009 Law on Environmental Protection and Management (UUPPLH). In contrast, Singapore ranked fourth globally for environmental quality, uses a common law system and specific legislation, such as the Environmental Protection and Management Act, with specialized regulatory agencies ensuring effective law enforcement and communication. Based on the WHO Strategic Communications Framework, the analysis reveals that Indonesia faces infrastructure and internet access issues and a lack of coordination between community initiatives and the central government. Conversely, Singapore effectively uses technology and media to spread environmental information, supported by well-structured community programs and strong government support. The study emphasizes the crucial role of strategic communication in enforcing environmental law and the need for Indonesia to streamline its law enforcement and improve its communication strategies for better environmental protection.

The results show that vocational schools in Indonesia prepared students to face the world of work supporting IoT learning such as curriculum synchronization, laboratories, and production units. Optimism that IoT will be the flagship of vocational school because the SMK has competent human resources in IoT technology and has been certified. A vocational school is producing the IoT smart lock RFID system products. The conclusion is although the IoT system is still straightforward, which is made in the form of a smart lock system, it can represent technology products made by vocational students. This can be a school branding for prospective students or their parents.

Abstract

The konjac plant is thought to be a nutritious meal that is good for both beauty and health. Konjac exports from Indonesia to other countries grew as a result in 2020. Nevertheless, a sharp fall was observed at the end of 2021, despite the fact that many Indonesian farmers had shifted to Konjac plants. The researcher will continue the research series with Konjac plant objects in 2022 because there are so many questions and rumors surrounding this plant. The purpose of this study is to interpret the meaning of YouTube accounts that talk about konjac plants. By generating codes from all the words collected from the 30 YouTube accounts examined, the study employed a qualitative content analysis methodology. Three code frameworks were identified as being relevant to the Konjac problem: Konjac, the Government, and Export. The Government of Indonesia appealed the findings of these three regulations regarding the attitudes of farmers who support and oppose the growing of konjac. The Indonesian government is viewed as being unprepared to deal with both the farmers themselves and the global market, and thus disregards the quality of Konjac crops for export. Conclusion: In order to improve the quality of products that will be exported and brand Konjac plants for the global market, coordination and engagement between farmers and the Indonesian government are required, as well as the involvement of academics.

Abstract

The strategic Marketing Public Relations (MPR) efforts of Jacquelle Beaute, especially through their collaboration with Disney, have significantly enhanced brand awareness. Using the three fundamental Public Relations functions defined by Edward L. Bernays, the brand has effectively communicated product knowledge via digital platforms like Instagram and TikTok, organized engaging events to influence public behavior, and maintained strong public relationships. Key strategies involving publication, events, sponsorship, and media identity have played vital roles. Publications on Instagram and TikTok, supported by beauty influencer reviews, have spread product knowledge, despite challenges in influencer selection. Events, including the grand launch of the Disney Ariel collaboration, have boosted brand awareness by reflecting Jacquelle Beaute’s unique characteristics. Sponsorships, particularly targeting young adults in universities, have expanded their reach through word-of-mouth promotion. The distinctive media identity, characterized by sustainable and multitasking products and unique Disney-themed packaging, has made their products easily recognizable. While the research indicates that only four out of the seven MPR tools outlined by Kotler and Keller (2012) were effectively utilized, Jacquelle Beaute's efforts have generally been successful, achieving Brand Recall and Brand Recognition levels of awareness. However, there is room for improvement in influencer selection and pricing strategies to broaden their audience. Overall, Jacquelle Beaute's strategic use of MPR tools, particularly through digital media and well-executed events, underscores the importance of a cohesive approach in building brand awareness.
