Abstract

This study aims to identify strategies for optimizing the dissemination of information on the Science Techno Park (STP) Institut Pertanian Bogor business incubation program through podcasts as an interactive digital communication medium aligned with technological developments. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with data collected through interviews, observation, and documentation involving the STP IPB Website and Social Media Development Team. The findings indicate that the implementation of Regina Luttrell’s Circular Model of SoMe for Social Communication, particularly in the Share stage, has been applied in managing the “Sainstek Podcast.” The Circular Model of SoMe when a company distributes something; the company can simultaneously manage, interact with, and optimize its message. This study is novel because Sainstek Podcast is an innovation by STP IPB that used to disseminate information about business incubation program. However, the Optimize, Manage, and Engage stages have not been fully implemented, resulting in limited effectiveness in information dissemination. Overall, the podcast holds significant potential to expand audience reach, foster two-way communication, and enhance public understanding of STP IPB’s business incubation programs comprehensively because it flexibility of access, content personalization, broad audience reach, educational potential, and low production costs.

Abstract

This study investigates the digital communication strategies employed by “homeless accounts” non-formal, anonymously managed Instagram entities to build substantial engagement. Addressing the lack of scholarly attention to non-institutional media actors in Indonesia, this research examines how these accounts construct content typologies and apply strategic communication methods through a qualitative design combining non-participant digital observation and content analysis of 556 purposively selected accounts. The findings indicate that homeless accounts rely on viral-prone themes, emotional storytelling, and highly adaptive use of platform features such as reels, stories, and interactive stickers to maximize reach and resonance. These strategies collectively shape a communication pattern characterized by authenticity, algorithmic awareness, and dialogue-driven audience interaction, enabling these accounts to cultivate what may be termed a digital empathy community. The results further show that engagement is strengthened through a three-stage cycle consisting of trend-based pre-production, authenticity-centered production, and feedback-oriented post-production. This study concludes that homeless accounts demonstrate how digital influence can be generated outside traditional media structures through emotional resonance, participatory interaction, and platform-specific optimization. At the same time, concerns related to accountability and misinformation highlight the need for improved digital literacy and platform-level safeguards to support responsible communication.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the discursive constructions of the digital economy and community identity within the Joged Sadbor phenomenon on the TikTok live streams of the @Hepibor86 account. The study employs a qualitative approach using Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis. The research corpus consists of publicly accessible TikTok live stream material from January to March 2026, including live clips, five selected screenshots, screen recordings, and traces of audience interaction in the form of comments and virtual gifts. The dataset was purposively limited based on the involvement of community groups in the broadcasts, the intensity of digital economic interactions, the emergence of jargon and recurring communication patterns, and the representation of performance practices relevant to the research focus. Analysis was conducted across three dimensions—text, discursive practices, and social practices—to examine language choices, performance patterns, mechanisms of content production and consumption, and their relationship to the platform’s economic logic. The research findings indicate that Joged Sadbor functions not only as entertainment and a source of additional income, but also as a space for the negotiation of local identity, digital visibility, and collective performativity. The findings also reveal practices of the commodification of the body, entertainment, and empathy, where expressions of local culture are repeatedly displayed to attract the audience’s attention and secure gifts as economic value. Therefore, this phenomenon does not simply supplant traditional cultural values, but rather reflects a shift in meaning, an adaptation of cultural practices, and the monetization of local expressions within TikTok’s attention economy.
