Abstract

Women often lack confidence in their body shape. Apart from the lack of confidence, women’s bodies are also the target of humiliation and harassment, such as body shaming, especially on social media. With these problems, various organizations and business enterprises have sprung up. One of them is Nipplets, an online shop that sells lingerie. Nipplets has launched a “Real People Real Body” (RPRB) campaign to involve their customers as models to represent lingerie products. The problem formulation in this study is how to analyze the content of the RPRB campaign on the @nipplets_official Instagram account. This study aims to determine the role of the RPRB campaign in Nipplets content marketing using posts, hashtags #realpeoplerealbody, and tags or mentions. The theoretical foundations used in this study include representation, campaign theory, and social media marketing. This study used a descriptive approach within the textual analysis. The RPRB I campaign was an initiative to spread awareness of body positivity. The RPRB II campaign was considered successful in symbolizing the muse. In contrast, the RPRB III campaign was a continuation of the campaign using relevant tags consistently and in line with images and captions. The RPRB campaign trilogy by Nipplets has completed the interaction, which can be marked by customers wearing Nipplets lingerie products. The RPRB I, II, and III involvement support the marketing of Nipplets lingerie to answer the phenomenon of humiliating women’s bodies in Indonesia.

Abstract

Kudapan Spesial is a short film that explores the idea that women have equal influence and power as men. Gender, a cultural construct, is acquired and socialized in the family from an early age and is sometimes formed following the dominant culture. This study aims to ascertain how society views the frequent reversal of gender roles in the environment. This study examines how the audience creates meaning for the information communicated by the film Kudapan Spesial, using reception analysis and the constructivism paradigm. The data analysis process involves collecting data from informants, analyzing it, and understanding the dominant message in the film, followed by interviews to identify the informant's position. The study examined the film Kudapan Spesial using Umberto Eco's theory of sign formation and informant interviews. The film Kudapan Spesial was inspired by the director's personal experience of gender role exchange in his family. It features medium-long shots, warm lighting, and a tidy house representing the father's perspective. The film portrays varying perspectives on gender role exchange in Indonesian households, with some viewing it as hindering a wife's potential while others advocate for equal opportunities. The film 'Kudapan Spesial' has alternative concepts that intrigue audiences who view scenes and conflicts differently based on their backgrounds, experiences, and knowledge. The study on gender role interchange in families revealed that exposure to information and debate gained via the internet influences audiences' thinking. Further studies can examine gender roles' predominance in the family from a new perspective.

Abstract

Indonesian Arts and Culture Scholarship (IACS), which displays Indonesian arts, and culture, is a program that the Directorate of Public Diplomacy holds for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia. This program was started in 2003 and took place face-to-face until 2019. This program becomes an excellent opportunity for Indonesia to spread Indonesian values by forming nation-branding and creating a national image through soft diplomacy. This research analyzes how Instagram can play an essential role in promoting the 2019 IACS program so that the general public can know about this program. This research was analyzed by using the Circuit of Culture model. It is specified in Production moment to disclose how Studios and MoFA distributed messages through Instagram. By analyzing Instagram, we can find out how the account is managed and the content shared by the committee that holds the Instagram account. Data were taken based on interviews, social media, and government documents. The results are that MoFA does not use Instagram @iacs_kemlu well. It can be seen from the re-confirmation absence to the public regarding the date range of its program. As well as the minimal upload of documentation of the participants, MoFA is not carrying out the monitoring function regarding the inactive @bsbi_pdg account. Besides that, on Instagram @iacs.banyuwangi, Instagram management could be better. It can be seen on its Instagram account page.

Abstract

Borobudur Temple is one of the five Indonesian super-priority destinations targeted to be the "New Bali." Wanurejo tourist village is one of the areas affected by this and is considered a buffer zone to develop. Therefore, skilled human resources are required in the use of digital technology, especially social media, to be able to promote tourism destinations extensively and to increase tourism visits. This study compared and analyzed Wanurejo tourism village activists' social media literacy levels based on socioeconomic circumstances, particularly age. In order to acquire the data, a questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument. The 87 respondents who were Wanurejo tourism village activists make up the sample for this study. Data analyses were performed using descriptive and differences analysis. The findings demonstrated that the most popular social media platforms for communication, promotion, and information retrieval were WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook. Additionally, Wanurejo tourism village activists had moderate social media literacy (71.58), characterized mainly by technical mastery. Based on the characteristics of the respondents, younger tourism village activists had a better level of social media literacy than older ones. According to the latest education, a higher education level was associated with greater social media literacy. As for the aspect of gender, income, and work experience, there were no notable differences in social media literacy. Therefore, strengthening social media literacy to support tourism promotion needs to be focused on millennials and highly educated tourism village activists.

Abstract

The case of the Uyghur ethnic in Xinjiang, China, has drawn global attention, and so has the media coverage of this issue. In Indonesia, the Uyghur issue attracts people’s attention due to religious sentiment. This article aims to determine how Indonesian mass media newsroom management is in Uyghur news coverage. Much previous research discusses how Indonesian media news coverage towards the Uyghur issue, but most use content analysis methods. Meanwhile, the primary data of this article is an interview with the journalist. Two media, Tempo and Republika, have been chosen as the subject matter, as both have different ideologies: human rights (Tempo) and Islam (Republika). The results show that both media use psychological proximity as a consideration in choosing information and news angles for the Uyghur issue. In organizing, both media do not form specific teams or order journalists based on particular skills to cover it. In the fundamental phase, both media admit difficulties in news coverage due to the limited access in Xinjiang directly, so for the news that happens in China. They can only use foreign news agencies, then rewrite the information to contextual the issue for Indonesian readers. For issues related to Uyghur in Indonesia, both media gather the information by direct reporting and interviewing Indonesian government officials or Islamic organizations. For the controlling phase, Republika did formal and informal procedures. Meanwhile, Tempo uses feedback from readers mentioned on social media and a board called Ombudsman.

Abstract

Nike, a well-known sports brand, actively uses social media platforms to promote its brand and advocate for social movements, such as women's empowerment. The study aims to use Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to analyze Nike's Instagram captions that were posted in 2019 as a way of revealing the essential concept through language and the social practice level. This study uses qualitative research design and critical discourse analysis to analyze Nike's concept towards women in their Instagram captions. The researchers collected data using non-participative observation and purposive sampling techniques and analyzed the data using the referential identity and competence-in-dividing techniques. This study found that it had standard features like vocabulary, grammatical structure, and various textual features. Nike also used discourse practice by employing female athlete representatives to construct the concept of women empowerment in the caption. Furthermore, the language in the caption implied feminist ideology that helped instill the concept of women's empowerment by showing progressivity in the sports industry. The study analyzed Nike's Instagram captions and concluded that the company uses various textual features, including quotations from female athletes, to construct the concept of women's empowerment. Nike's use of persuasive language and representation of feminism ideology supports this concept. This research can have implications for media studies and critical discourse analysis in helping students decode semantic and syntactic choices in media texts.

Abstract

With the advent of social media, particularly Twitter, public opinion has become a dynamic and influential force. This study explores the public's perception of Islamic higher education institutions on Twitter, employing sentiment analysis to decipher the nuances of public sentiment. A comprehensive quantitative research methodology employing sentiment analysis was applied to a dataset of 11,809 tweets collected from 2018 to 2022, all focused on perceptions of Islamic higher education. The preprocessing phase involved cleaning, case folding, punctuation, number removal, stopword elimination, and tokenization. Sentiment analysis techniques were utilized to categorize tweets into positive, negative, or neutral sentiments. The analysis revealed a prevalent positive sentiment, constituting 73.16% of the dataset, 21.37% exhibited negative sentiment, and 5.47% reflected neutral sentiment. Visualizations, including word clouds, highlighted key topics shaping public perception. Words like "university," "religion," and "student" emerged prominently, influencing sentiment across categories. These results underscore a positive public perception of Islamic higher education, indicating the effectiveness of social media in shaping favorable opinions. The research emphasizes the significance of social media, specifically Twitter, as a platform for fostering positive perceptions of Islamic higher education. Strategic communication, proactive content dissemination, and responsive engagement are essential for enhancing institutional image. Future research directions, including advanced methodologies like topic modeling and word association techniques, promise a deeper understanding of public sentiment nuances, guiding educational institutions and policymakers toward effective social media engagement strategies
