Abstract

Digital transformation at the subnational level is essential for improving public services and supporting SDGs. Yet it still faces constraints, including infrastructure gaps, limited digital capacity, and weak intergovernmental coordination. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of 106 Scopus-indexed articles published between 2015 and 2025 using PRISMA and Bibliometrix (RStudio) to map research development, citation trends, and major thematic clusters. Results show a 39.55% annual growth rate, involvement of 420 authors, 62 publication sources, and 20.75% international collaboration. The dominant keyword clusters include digital transformation, local government, e-government, digital readiness, and SDGs. Although global research increasingly links digitalization with sustainability goals, policy fragmentation and unequal technological preparedness remain significant barriers. The study emphasizes the need for coordinated, capacity-building, and inclusive digital governance strategies to strengthen the impact of digital transformation on regional sustainable development.

Abstract

This study analyzes public communication in collaborative public management for blue economy governance in Pangkajene and Kepulauan Regency, Indonesia. The study responds to the need to understand blue economy development not only as fisheries, aquaculture, tourism, or marine economic growth, but also as a governance process involving coordination, participation, equity, inclusiveness, and accountability. A qualitative field case study was conducted from February to May 2026 in Mattiro Bombang, Mattiro Kanja, and Sabalana Villages. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, field observations, focus group discussions, and policy documentation involving 29 informants from local government, village governments, fisher groups, aquaculture farmers, coastal women, micro-enterprises, academics, and community leaders. Data were analyzed through thematic coding, data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by triangulation, member checking, and informant anonymization. The findings show that local government has established public communication programs, Musrenbang, public consultations, fisher group development, coordination with extension officers, and monitoring mechanisms. However, these instruments require stronger proposal follow-up, wider communication reach, transparent beneficiary selection, and social accountability. Public communication functions as a managerial instrument for information dissemination, dialogue, aspiration absorption, trust building, policy clarification, and feedback. The study proposes the Good Equity and Inclusiveness Collaborative Blue Economy Governance framework as an initial empirically informed framework consisting of island-based diagnosis, inclusive cross-actor forums, a benefit equity matrix, co-production programs, and adaptive accountability. The framework requires further testing, contextual adaptation, and policy validation before operational adoption by local government institutions in practice.

Abstract

In the contemporary digital communication landscape, manufacturing organizations face mounting pressure to move beyond episodic messaging toward sustained, systems-level narrative frameworks. This study investigates how strategic storytelling functions as the operational core of a Dynamic Narrative Communication System (DNCS) within the Marketing Public Relations (MPR) activities of a business-to-business (B2B) manufacturing company in Indonesia. The research employed a qualitative case study methodology, collecting data through in-depth interviews with key communication practitioners, systematic analysis of digital documents, and multi-platform observational studies across corporate websites, social media channels, and regulatory submission materials. Findings demonstrate that storytelling in this context operates across three interconnected dimensions: organizational identity construction, social legitimacy acquisition in relation to government regulatory compliance, particularly Indonesia's green industry standards and domestic component requirements,and strategic communication integration. The DNCS model proposed herein conceptualizes narrative not as a discrete tactical instrument but as a dynamic systemic mechanism through which manufacturing firms maintain reputational stability and adaptive capacity amid shifting government policies and evolving digital environments. This research contributes a theoretically grounded, empirically validated framework that extends storytelling scholarship into the underexplored domain of B2B manufacturing communication and government-industry relations.
Digital Communication Ethics from a Sufi Perspective: The Takhalli-Tahalli-Tajalli Model Against Information Disorder Moh Saifulloh; Samsuriyanto

Abstract

This research aims to formulate a digital communication ethics framework by transposing the classical Sufi model of Takhalli (cleansing), Tahalli (beautifying), and Tajalli (manifestation) from Imam Al-Ghazali and Imam Al-Jailani. In the contemporary cyber era, conventional legal-structural and techno-centric paradigms function merely as reactive, external controls that fail to address the psychological motives behind information disorder. This study benefits digital society by shifting the mitigation paradigm from reactive containment to internal, preventive self-regulation. Methodologically, this study adopts an interpretivist paradigm using a qualitative critical literature review integrated with Gadamerian Philosophical Hermeneutics. The results demonstrate that the framework operates as a closed-loop cybernetic system. Specifically, Takhalli purges kizb, hasad, and riya’. This qualifies Tahalli to implement two-tiered behavioral interventions via Sidq and Rahmah. Ultimately produces Tajalli—manifesting as “Digital Ihsan” anchored by Digital Muraqabah. Although platform anonymity poses structural limitations at the cyber-deindividuation threshold, this model permanently breaks the supply chain of toxic information.

Abstract

Higher education choice is not merely an individual decision based on academic interest or institutional promotion, but a socially negotiated process involving parents, school counselors, and peers as important reference groups. However, existing studies on university choice often emphasize individual rational choice and marketing persuasion, while paying limited attention to how reference groups shape legitimacy and final decision-making. This study examines how Islamic senior high school students in Malang City communicate and negotiate with their key reference groups during the higher education selection process. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through focus group discussions with 10 final-year students, complemented by semi-structured interviews involving 2 guidance and counseling teachers from two Islamic senior high schools with contrasting institutional and socioeconomic backgrounds, and 1 external tutoring teacher to enrich the data. The data were analyzed thematically with the assistance of NVivo. The findings produce the Multi-Actor Iterative Communication (MAIC) Model of University Choice, reframing recruitment not as a linear marketing funnel, but as a circular, recursive communication system. The model concludes that prospective students' choices only solidify into enrollment when marketing stimuli successfully align personal aspirations with parental validation, data-driven school guidance, performance analytics from external tutors, and horizontal peer exploration. Ultimately, this study provides higher education marketers with a novel marketing framework to strategically navigate a distributed network of community gatekeepers rather than targeting isolated consumers.

Abstract

This study examines the semantic structure of the phrase “Here We Go!” in football transfer communication on X using Semantic Network Analysis. Grounded in Communication Network Theory, the study explores how semantic relationships contribute to the construction of collective meaning and information credibility. Data were collected from 1,632 posts during the 2025 European summer transfer window and analyzed using NodeXL. The analysis included network metrics, degree centrality, word-pair analysis, and Clauset–Newman–Moore clustering. The findings indicate that the semantic network is dominated by concepts related to transfer confirmation, particularly deal, agreed, authorization, and sealed. Five thematic clusters were identified, representing transfer confirmation, contractual information, media dissemination, tactical aspects, and the core phrase itself. The results suggest that “Here We Go!” functions as a mechanism of symbolic validation through which audiences collectively recognize the credibility of football transfer information.

Abstract

Financial communication plays an important role in conveying global economic information that influences investor perceptions and market behavior. Among the most prominent forms of financial information are changes in global commodity prices, particularly oil and gold prices, which serve as information signals for investment decision-making. This study examines the relationship between global commodity price information and Indonesian stock market dynamics using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach. Annual data covering the period 1990–2025 were employed to investigate both long-run and short-run relationships among oil prices, gold prices, and the Indonesian stock market. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test indicates that all variables are integrated of order one, while the Bounds Test confirms the existence of a long-run equilibrium relationship. The long-run estimation results reveal that oil price information has a positive and statistically significant effect on stock market dynamics, whereas gold price information has a negative but statistically insignificant effect. In the short run, contemporaneous changes in gold prices do not significantly affect stock market performance, while lagged changes in gold prices have a positive and significant effect. The error correction term is negative and statistically significant, indicating a rapid adjustment toward long-run equilibrium following short-run disturbances. These findings suggest that investors respond differently to commodity-based information signals depending on the type and timing of information received. This study contributes to the interdisciplinary field of financial communication by highlighting how global commodity price information is reflected in stock market dynamics and investor responses.

Abstract

Research on women's leadership has predominantly focused on gender stereotypes, structural barriers, and leadership challenges, while limited attention has been given to how women leaders use communication to manage organizational relationships in project-based work environments. This study examines how women leaders practice communication in managing organizational relationships within Event Organizer and Wedding Organizer organizations operating in the creative sector in Samarinda, Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach informed by a critical paradigm, data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews with eleven women leaders and analyzed using Critical Thematic Analysis (CTA). The findings reveal four interconnected communication practices: building and maintaining relational connections, adapting communication across organizational relationships, managing emotional dynamics in project work, and maintaining coordination through flexible communication. These practices enable women leaders to develop trust, negotiate stakeholder expectations, sustain collaboration, and coordinate project activities across dynamic organizational environments. The study contributes to organizational communication scholarship by demonstrating that leadership communication functions not only as a mechanism for coordination but also as a relational process for sustaining organizational relationships across temporary and continuously changing stakeholder configurations. The findings further contribute to women's leadership scholarship by highlighting how gendered expectations are communicatively negotiated through everyday organizational interactions within project-based creative organizations.

Abstract

This study aims to examine informal fandom as a form of interdisciplinary communication within digital media, synthesizing how participatory culture and platform-mediated fan practices have been conceptualized across the academic literature. The findings benefit scholars in communication science, media studies, and platform studies by providing an integrated analytical framework that bridges participatory culture theory, audience studies, and digital media research. This study employed a qualitative Systematic Literature Review method using three Boolean search strings on the Scopus database, limited to English-language peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2026. Following PRISMA-based screening, 40 articles were included in the final thematic synthesis. Four analytical themes were identified: communicative community formation in digital fandom, participatory fan production as audience communication practice, platformed fan communication and digital labor, and contestation as communicative authority negotiation. A key tension identified is the contradiction between participatory communicative agency and platform power, including algorithmic visibility, datafication, and commercialization of fan communication. This review positions informal fandom as an analytical bridge within interdisciplinary communication scholarship, linking participatory culture theory, audience studies, and platform-mediated communicative practices. The findings contribute operational indicators for future empirical research on informal fandom, including loose affiliation, repeated digital interaction, affective attachment, platform-mediated visibility, participatory production, and symbolic meaning-making as measurable dimensions of audience communication in digital platforms.

Abstract

This study examines the One Piece flag controversy on X during Indonesia’s Independence Day period as a case of symbolic communication in digital public discourse. Rather than treating the debate merely as an anime fandom issue or viral digital expression, this article analyzes how Indonesian digital publics evaluated the legitimacy of a borrowed popular culture symbol in relation to national symbolism. Using a qualitative digital discourse design within a critical constructivist paradigm, the study analyzed 473 focused X posts selected from 1,596 crawled public posts and six semi-structured interviews with X users representing supportive, opposing, and conditional positions. Stuart Hall’s theory of representation and encoding/decoding was used as the main analytical framework, supported by the concepts of symbolic reappropriation and transcultural identity. The findings reveal three interpretive patterns. First, some users legitimized the One Piece flag by translating it into a language of public criticism, solidarity, and social anxiety. Second, some users delegitimized the symbol as foreign, fictional, mistimed, or improper within the Indonesian national symbolic space. Third, some users negotiated its legitimacy by accepting the flag only when it remained visually and symbolically subordinate to the Red-and-White flag. The study argues that the controversy reflects a platform-mediated process of symbolic legitimacy-making, where meaning is not only produced but also publicly tested, corrected, rejected, and limited through digital interaction. This article contributes to communication studies by showing how representation, civic expression, and national belonging are negotiated through popular culture symbols in digital public discourse.
