Abstract

This study examines the distribution of crisis communication strategies in official press releases issued by the Surabaya City Government between August and November 2024 using the framework of Image Repair Theory. A quantitative approach with content analysis was employed to analyze 50 press releases selected through purposive sampling. The unit of analysis was each press release document in its entirety, categorized based on the most dominant crisis communication strategy. Inter-coder reliability measured using Cohen’s Kappa indicated a high level of agreement (κ = 0.82). The findings reveal that Corrective Action is the most dominant strategy (56%), followed by Reducing Offensiveness (30%), Evading Responsibility (12%), and Mortification (2%), while Denial was not identified in the sample. These results suggest that local government crisis communication is primarily action-oriented and focused on issue management rather than rhetorical confrontation or outright rejection. The study contributes to public sector crisis communication research by demonstrating that institutional legitimacy in local governance contexts is largely constructed through administrative action rather than defensive strategies.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered chatbots have substantially reshaped the landscape of human-AI interaction, yet questions remain about the communicative behaviors users deploy in these exchanges and how they are shaped by AI system characteristics. This study investigates communication pattern typologies in human-chatbot interactions through qualitative thematic analysis of 150 conversation transcripts across customer service, mental health, and educational contexts. Grounded in social presence theory and affordance theory, and employing reflexive thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2022) with an interpretivist-constructivist epistemological stance, this study identified five typologies of communication patterns: adaptive mirroring (prevalent across the majority of transcripts, 78.7%), emotional scaffolding (frequently manifested, 65.3%), contextual anchoring (emergent in a substantial portion of conversations, 58.0%), conversational repair mechanisms (present in a considerable minority, 42.7%), and trust-building narratives (identified in over one-third of transcripts, 37.3%). These figures reflect descriptive frequency counts indicating the proportion of transcripts in which each pattern was observed; they serve as organizational summaries, not statistical evidence, and patterns are not mutually exclusive. The distribution of these patterns varied across demographic groups and interaction contexts, with younger participants showing comparatively greater communicative flexibility. Results suggest that users deploy socially patterned communicative behaviors in AI-mediated contexts that extend beyond purely task-oriented exchanges. These findings carry implications for designing AI systems that are attentive to the relational and contextual dimensions of user communication in healthcare, education, and customer service.

Abstract

Indonesia is pursuing sustainable development in the fisheries and marine sector because the potential for marine economic growth offers great opportunities for community welfare. The utilization of the marine sector is classified into the utilization of living resources, extraction of non-living resources, commercialization and trade, and responses to marine sustainability challenges. Initially, this authority was regulated by local governments in coordination with provincial governments. As is the case in Probolinggo City, coastal development is the responsibility of the East Java Provincial Government. This is interesting to study, particularly in relation to the implementation of policies after the transfer of authority and the impacts of policy transitions. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis. A descriptive qualitative research design was chosen because this study focuses on descriptive elaboration of the research subject. The results show that policy implementation in terms of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucracy has generally been effective. Furthermore, the policy transition of the East Java Provincial Government's transfer of authority has created impacts. These impacts are both positive and negative. The impacts of policy implementation can be seen in the handling of public issues and the parties involved in policy implementation, the impact on conditions or groups outside the policy's targets and objectives, and the impact on current conditions and future conditions.

Abstract

The Free Nutritious Meals Program (MBG) has sparked intense public debate in Indonesia, particularly concerning food safety and public trust. While discussion on text-based platforms are largely dominated by critical and deliberative discourse, less attention has been given to how public responses emerge when the same policy is presented through emotive, music-based content on entertainment oriented platforms. This study aims to investigate how MBG is received when communicated through jingle within TikTok space. Using sentiment analysis as a tool to examine the pattern of audience response. The findings reveal a heterogeneous sentiment expression. Drawing on Arousal Theory and platform affordance perspectives, this study addresses platform affordance shape how the community interact within the space itself. TikTok facilitates policy communication as performative and emotional engagement, where visible positivity reflects platform shaped affective participation rather than policy approval.

Abstract

As a newly established organization, BRIN needs to build institutional legitimacy in research and innovation performance, one of which is pursued through media coverage. However, this legitimacy can be distorted by media logic that prioritizes sensationalism and the dramatization of issues. BRIN's position within the discourse on research and innovation needs to be analyzed to understand the extent to which media coverage contributes to constructing its institutional legitimacy. This study aims to examine and test the semantic-structural similarity between the discourse on BRIN and that on research and innovation. The data were drawn from 5,716 articles published in Indonesia's top five news media outlets between 2022 and 2024. Semantic network analysis was employed to assess centrality and semantic similarity. The findings reveal significant fluctuations in the relationship between BRIN discourse and research and innovation discourse, illustrating the negotiation of institutional legitimacy through media representation. The weakening correlation observed in 2023 indicates the dominance of media logic, which prioritizes sensational and controversial aspects, generating representations that do not always align with BRIN's core institutional mission and suggesting a partial alignment between the discourse on BRIN and that on research and innovation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the negotiation of communication identity among single mothers who run micro-enterprises using the Communication Theory of Identity (CTI) framework. The research seeks to understand how identity is constructed across personal, enacted, relational, and communal layers, and how these interactions shape their gender performativity and business practices. The study contributes theoretically by positioning survival as a conceptual outcome of identity negotiation, extending the application of CTI within the context of marginalized women entrepreneurs. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing in-depth interviews, observation, documentation, and data analysis through NVivo software to identify coding patterns and word similarities. The findings reveal that identity is formed dynamically through interconnected character traits, generating emergent attributes such as proactive, adaptive, accountable, integrity-driven, strategic, empathetic, realistic, credible, pragmatic, and ultimately survival-oriented. Survival emerges as the core identity strategy, not merely as economic endurance but as a communicative and performative process that integrates authenticity and pragmatism. This study highlights that single mothers’ empowerment lies in their ability to continuously negotiate identity across domestic and public spheres to sustain both family life and business continuity.

Abstract

This study examines the communication identity formation of Shari'i-compliant Make-Up Artists (MUAs) as micro-entrepreneurs in West Java, Indonesia. It aims to understand how MUAs negotiate personal religious values with professional demands in the beauty industry, and how such negotiation shapes their communication practices and professional identity. The study contributes to communication scholarship by exploring religiously-informed professional identity, providing insights for micro-entrepreneurs and digital marketing strategies in creative sectors. A qualitative phenomenological approach was adopted to capture the subjective experiences of ten female MUAs who implement Shari'i principles in their services and social media promotion. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, digital observations, and documentation, and analyzed using thematic analysis supported by NVivo 12 Plus. Data validity was ensured through triangulation and member checking. Findings indicate that MUA Shari'i identity is structured across four interconnected layers—personal, enacted, relational, and communal—forming a dynamic yet coherent communication identity. Personal identity is dominated by religiosity, reflection, and adaptation; enacted identity reflects discipline, consistency, and situational flexibility; relational identity emphasizes professionalism, empathy, and persuasive communication with clients; and communal identity is reinforced through social recognition, collaboration, and moderation in practice. The integration of these layers generates adaptive, collaborative, reliable, and visionary communicative traits, allowing MUAs to maintain religious integrity while achieving professional credibility and sustainable business practices. These results extend the Communication Theory of Identity (CTI) framework to contexts of religiously-informed micro-entrepreneurship, demonstrating the strategic role of personal and communal values in shaping professional communication.
