<![CDATA[This study analyzes the influence of noble family victories on voter turnout in the 2018 Bone Regency elections, focusing on how social, economic, cultural, and political factors contribute to determining the outcome of these elections. This study uses a quantitative approach through the distribution of questionnaires to the people of Bone Regency to explore their perceptions of the role of noble families in Pilkada. Data management was conducted using SmartPLS (SEM-PLS) software. The results show that all four factors have a positive and significant influence on voter turnout, confirming that the involvement of noble families is a symbol and a force capable of mobilizing community support. The findings suggest that noble families still play an important role in local politics, utilizing their extensive social networks, strong cultural influence, and economic and political support to maintain their dominance in the political arena. Their victories in local elections demonstrate the continuation of traditional political patterns rooted in local culture, albeit in a modern democratic context.]]>

<![CDATA[Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMIs) face emotional challenges in maintaining family harmony due to geographical distance and dual roles. This study examines how PMIs use digital media to sustain emotional communication with their nuclear families, guided by the Uses and Gratifications Theory. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and digital communication documentation. Results show that digital platforms meet affective needs, maintain social bonds, and provide emotional relief. Gender influences the types of gratifications sought, while families emphasize reciprocal communication. Despite barriers such as time differences and limited access, video calls and messaging foster emotional closeness. Digital media play a vital role in supporting the emotional well-being of PMI and preserving long-distance family relationships.]]>

<![CDATA[Korean dramas (K-Dramas) have become extremely popular among Indonesian audiences, offering an often idealized and romanticized depiction of Korean culture. This study examines the dynamics of Indonesian audiences’ perceptions of Korean dramas (K-Dramas) by analyzing comments on YouTube videos. This study uses topic modeling analysis to examine Indonesian audiences’ reactions through YouTube comments (85,840 comments from 720 videos). The study began with 15 topics generated by a topic modeling algorithm. Upon further analysis, the study found that several of these topics were closely related, leading to the consolidation of these topics into four broader main topics: (1) K-Drama as Entertainment, (2) Cultural Representations and Social Issues, (3) Personal Relationships and Family Dynamics, and (4) Social Reactions and National Dignity. This research implies that the findings can be used by policymakers and media industry players to develop strategies that support constructive cultural dialogue and develop content with more culturally sensitive narratives.]]>

<![CDATA[The digital transformation of tax administration has prompted tax authorities to utilize social media as a tool for education and communication, including platforms such as TikTok. This study aims to examine the effect of perceived information quality on digital tax compliance, with digital tax literacy serving as a mediating variable. Employing a quantitative explanatory approach and purposive sampling technique, data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed to taxpayers who are active TikTok users. The results show that perceived information quality does not have a direct effect on digital tax compliance but has a positive effect on digital tax literacy. Furthermore, digital tax literacy positively influences digital tax compliance and fully mediates the relationship between perceived information quality and digital tax compliance. These findings highlight the crucial role of digital literacy as a prerequisite for the effectiveness of tax communication through social media.]]>

<![CDATA[Disasters often exacerbate existing gender inequalities, yet media representations rarely reflect this structural dimension. This study examines how mainstream Indonesian media framed gender issues following the 2022 Cianjur earthquake, using Entman’s framing theory through a social work perspective. A descriptive qualitative method was employed to analyze seven purposively selected online news articles using four framing dimensions: problem definition, causal interpretation, moral evaluation, and treatment recommendation. The results reveal that women were predominantly portrayed as passive victims, with minimal acknowledgment of their agency or the structural causes of vulnerability. Media narratives emphasized emotional portrayals and short-term, charity-based solutions, while only one article offered a partial empowerment frame. These findings suggest that the media plays a critical role in shaping post-disaster gender narratives. The study concludes that integrating social work principles such as empowerment, justice, and inclusion into media analysis can inform more ethical and gender sensitive reporting practices, ultimately contributing to more equitable disaster recovery efforts]]>

<![CDATA[This study explores how Instagram is utilized as a strategic communication tool to campaign for environmental engagement, specifically in promoting river cleanup initiatives among youth audiences. By employing a quantitative content analysis of eleven Instagram posts related to river cleanup efforts conducted between December 2024 and June 2025, we examine audience interaction metrics such as views, reach, likes, and engagement across different age groups. The findings highlight that the 18–34 age demographic is the most responsive to environmental messaging on social media, accounting for over 70% of total engagement. Posts featuring direct community involvement, promotional content, and educational messaging were identified as key content pillars driving higher interaction rates. These pillars demonstrate the importance of message framing in digital environmental advocacy. The study affirms Instagram’s potential as an effective platform for fostering eco-conscious behavior and youth participation through visual storytelling and targeted communication strategies.]]>

<![CDATA[Generation Z in the Ruang Pangan community, based in Lampung, plays an important role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly through reducing food waste and managing food surpluses. This research aims to analyze the communication strategies implemented by Generation Z to promote food sustainability initiatives. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and the Diffusion of Innovation theory, this study shows how the community strategically uses digital and participatory communication channels to raise awareness and stimulate behavior change. Their actions exemplify the role of youth-led initiatives in supporting SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption), and SDG 13 (Climate Action) through food rescue programs and educational campaigns. The results show that Generation Z, through Ruang Pangan, effectively succeeded in raising public awareness on sustainable food management and acted as agents of change in achieving the SDGs. In addition, there are changes in community behavior through digital media and cross-sector collaboration, such as initiatives and innovations in food rescue and collection. Ruang Pangan educates and campaigns for food management as a communication strategy carried out both offline and online. And the findings show that Generation Z can serve as early adopters and agents of change in sustainable development, and highlight the potential for program replication in other regions with local customization.]]>
