Abstract

Suicide is a pressing public health concern in Nigeria, yet the extent to which it is reported in the media remains unclear. The mass media serves a critical role in shaping public awareness and framing social issues. This study explores how suicide cases are reported by Nigerian online newspapers and whether such coverage aligns with the media’s social responsibility. Using a quantitative content analysis method, the study examined suicide-related articles published in The Punch and The Guardian online editions between April and December 2019. A total of 540 newspaper issues (270 from each outlet) were analyzed using purposive sampling. Data were categorized based on story frequency, genre, paragraph length, and number of deaths reported. Theoretical framing was guided by Agenda-Setting Theory, Cultivation Theory, and Social Responsibility Theory. A total of 75 suicide-related stories were identified. Most were brief (1–10 paragraphs) and appeared in the metro section, with little investigative or thematic depth. The Punch contributed more stories (57.3%) compared to The Guardian (42.7%). Despite the high number of suicides in Nigeria, the overall media coverage was found to be minimal and inconsistent. Findings suggest significant underreporting and a lack of meaningful engagement with suicide as a societal issue. The media has not fulfilled its role in setting the public agenda or cultivating awareness. Suicide is often framed episodically rather than thematically, limiting its visibility as a public health concern. This undermines the media’s potential to educate, warn, and mobilize action against suicide. The study concludes that Nigerian newspapers have not adequately reported on suicide, failing to meet the standards of socially responsible journalism. Broader media monitoring and audience-focused research are needed to understand the full impact of media coverage on suicide perception and prevention.

Abstract

Digital platforms have become the main source of news for Indonesians, with internet penetration reaching over 77% by 2024. However, the shift to digital news consumption has brought challenges, particularly the presence of analytical information bias such as emotional language, one-sided framing, and the blending of facts with opinions. This study explores how such bias impacts public news consumption behavior in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach, this research collected data through in-depth interviews with active digital news consumers. Participants were selected purposively to represent different age groups, professions, and digital literacy levels. Data were analyzed thematically to understand patterns in how people perceive and respond to biased news. The study found that many users consume news quickly and uncritically, often influenced by headlines or emotional tone. Analytical bias in news affects how people interpret information, leading to polarized opinions, mistrust in media, and low information literacy. Only a small group of users with higher digital literacy showed efforts to verify and balance the information they receive. Information bias on digital platforms has a complex impact on how Indonesians consume news. It shapes public opinion, weakens critical thinking, and contributes to societal divisions. To address this, collaboration is needed between media, educators, and policymakers to strengthen media literacy and create a healthier information ecosystem. This study is limited by its qualitative scope and sample size; future research could involve broader data collection and mixed methods to deepen the findings.

Abstract

Moral education in Islam emphasizes the development of akhlaq (Islamic character), yet pedagogical strategies to internalize these values often rely on monologic instruction. This study explores dialogic engagement as a transformative communication model for Islamic moral education. Using a qualitative library research method, this study analyzed classical Islamic texts, contemporary moral education theories, and recent empirical studies on communication and character development. Content and thematic analysis were applied to synthesize key concepts and pedagogical practices. Findings indicate that dialogic communication through reflective dialogue, interactive Q&A, and value clarification facilitates the internalization of moral values by enhancing critical thinking, empathy, and ethical awareness. When supported by inclusive learning environments and integrated with narrative and demonstrative strategies, dialogic engagement promotes holistic moral development. The study positions dialogic engagement as both a prophetic tradition and a contemporary pedagogical need. It concludes that dialogic methods enable value co-construction between educators and learners. However, empirical research is needed to test its practical application across diverse Islamic educational settings.

Abstract

Cloned Facebook pages that mimic established newspapers pose a risk of misinformation, particularly for postgraduate students in Nigeria who are expected to have strong media-literacy skills. This study investigates their ability to distinguish authentic from cloned Facebook pages of Daily Trust and Vanguard, and identifies the cues and strategies they use in the evaluation process. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods approach, the study began with a survey of 372 postgraduate students across three universities in North-West Nigeria. It measured their knowledge of authenticity indicators such as verification badges, URLs, and contact details. This was followed by ten in-depth interviews with selected students and newspaper editors to explore their reasoning and institutional practices. Results show that fewer than 14% of students were aware of missing verification badges on cloned pages, and only about 20% recognized misuse of logos or names. Most relied on visual elements like logos and page titles rather than systematic checks. Editors also confirmed that clone detection is reactive, triggered mostly by user complaints. The findings indicate a gap between assumed competence and actual verification skills. The study recommends introducing a structured Digital Verification Training (DVT) program that includes theoretical instruction, hands-on exercises, case studies, and collaboration with media platforms to improve users' ability to verify online news sources.

Abstract

This study investigates how toxic romantic relationships are represented in TikTok videos and how these representations influence the evolving cultural meanings of love among young users. In the context of digital popular culture, TikTok has emerged as a key site for emotional storytelling and identity performance. Using a qualitative approach and Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), this study analyzed 50 viral TikTok videos and over 1,000 associated comments. Data were selected based on relational themes involving emotional manipulation, dependency, and conflict. The findings identify three dominant themes, (1) the romanticization of toxic behaviors, (2) the ironic or humorous reframing of emotional abuse, and (3) audience identification and normalization of harmful relationship dynamics. Users often interpret such content as relatable, aesthetic, or emotionally resonant. The study argues that TikTok functions not merely as a space of representation but as an emotional and cultural educator where toxic love is reframed and normalized. While some content invites critique, most contributes to shifting emotional norms. The research highlights the implications of these narratives on digital intimacy and the emotional expectations of youth.

Abstract

The emergence of digital media has transformed Islamic preaching into more interactive and inclusive forms. One such innovation is the Log In Podcast, which combines religious messages with entertainment (dakwahtainment) and features interfaith dialogue. This study explores how inclusive communication strategies are applied in the Log In Podcast Season 3, particularly in engaging religious and cultural minorities. This qualitative research uses a descriptive approach with content analysis techniques. Data were gathered from eight episodes of the Log In YouTube podcast and audience comments. NVivo 12 software was used for coding and thematic mapping of both the content and responses. The analysis reveals three key indicators of inclusive da’wah namely diverse guest speakers (including Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, and cultural figures), a wide range of themes (such as tolerance, psychology, sharia, and the arts), and positive audience engagement. Comments reflect appreciation for the open, respectful tone and the podcast’s ability to bridge religious differences. Figures like Habib Ja’far play a central role in mediating dialogue, while audiences respond enthusiastically to recurring interfaith guests and inclusive discussions. The Log In Podcast succeeds as a platform for inclusive digital da’wah, creating a space where religious diversity is respected and discussed. This approach not only appeals to Muslim audiences but also engages minorities and non-Muslims, fostering interfaith understanding. The podcast demonstrates how social media can be effectively used for pluralistic and modern religious communication.
