Abstract

This research discusses the role of digital media in maintaining Pakualaman culture, particularly through social media. The main objective is to identify utilisation of digital media to document and engage the public in the preservation of Pakualaman culture. The official social media accounts of Pakualaman, including Instagram and YouTube, serve as channels for the dissemination of information regarding Pakualaman culture. Meanwhile, the public actively engages by sharing content on platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. This participation helps spread cultural values more widely. The diffusion of innovation theory is used to explain the adoption of digital technology by the public in preserving traditional culture. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with interviews, observation, and digital content analysis as data collection techniques. The results of the study are expected to provide insight into the role of digital media in cultural preservation.

Abstract

This research examines the presence and implications of manipulative messages in the Netflix documentary "Ice Cold: Murder, Coffee, and Jessica Wongso." By using framing analysis on the film, this research highlights how these messages shape the audience's perception and understanding of the events. The filmmaker's stance on the case attempts to present both sides of the case fairly, allowing the audience to draw their own conclusions. This film portrays Jessica with nuance to consider the possibility that Jessica is both a perpetrator and a victim of the system and excessive media coverage. Furthermore, this research explores the cultural and societal contexts that have influenced the production of the documentary film, revealing how these factors contribute to the overall message. These findings indicate that the film director presents a perspective that attempts to view Jessica as a victim of media pressure and a legal process deemed unfair. Interviews with legal experts, Jessica's friends, and scenes showing the weaknesses and inconsistencies of the presented evidence also contribute to the narrative that Jessica might be innocent and instead a victim of unbalanced media framing. Until the year 2024, Jessica was declared free. This release marks a long-awaited victory for justice. This documentary film plays a significant role in raising public and judicial system awareness about the potential injustices that can befall an individual. This research is not merely entertainment, but rather an important medium that can contribute to voicing injustice and striving for justice in complex and controversial cases.

Abstract

The transformation of Islamic da'wah through digital technology is an urgent need in the modern era. This study analyzes digital content training at SMK YPC Cintawana in improving the skills of students in the production and distribution of digital da'wah. With a qualitative approach to case studies, the results of this study show that this training improves students' abilities in videography, graphic design, copywriting, and digital communication strategies. Social media, YouTube, and podcasts help expand the reach of da'wah interactively. However, challenges such as cultural adaptation of Islamic boarding schools, limited infrastructure, and lack of understanding of digital communication strategies are still obstacles. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the digital curriculum, increase access to technology through external cooperation, and establish a pesantren media center. This strategy is expected to be able to make pesantren a modern da'wah center that still maintains Islamic values in the digital era.

Abstract

Islamic radio has historically served as a powerful medium for religious instruction, moral guidance, and community cohesion, particularly in regions with limited literacy or internet access. However, the rise of digital media has significantly altered consumption habits, especially among youth. This study employs a qualitative case study method, drawing on interviews, observations, surveys, and content analysis across several Islamic radio stations. Results indicate a steep decline in FM-based listenership, contrasted by rising engagement with Islamic digital media platforms. Stations that embraced digital innovation, mobile apps, live-streaming, AI-driven personalization, and collaborations with digital influencers demonstrated greater audience retention and reach. The paper argues that digital migration is essential, not optional, for the survival of Islamic radio. However, this transformation must be strategically managed to ensure theological authenticity, audience trust, and equitable digital access. The study provides actionable strategies for sustainable transition, while acknowledging limitations in sample diversity and calling for future research on comparative and longitudinal impacts.

Abstract

This study evaluates audience responses to the #JalanBerkeselamatan digital campaign initiated by the Directorate General of Highways, Ministry of Public Works of Indonesia, through the lens of Social Judgment Theory (SJT). The campaign seeks to promote road safety awareness and shared responsibility for maintaining infrastructure, amidst ongoing challenges such as vandalism, overloaded trucks, and limited public understanding. Using qualitative content analysis of campaign videos and digital sentiment analysis of social media comments via Orange and Voyant Tools, the study investigates whether the campaign’s messages align with audience attitudes. Findings show that most responses fall within the Latitude of Non-Commitment, marked by curiosity about infrastructure and safety procedures. This highlights the need for clearer, emotionally resonant, and educational messaging. By focusing on persuasive effectiveness and public receptivity, the study contributes to expanding the discourse on digital campaigns in developing contexts and underscores the value of adaptive, emotionally framed communication strategies to foster meaningful engagement.

Abstract

Technological advances, including artificial intelligence (AI), are starting to be applied in Islamic Religious Education. However, the integration of AI in PAI needs to be taken seriously because the aims of PAI do not only include cognitive aspects, but also the formation of character and spiritual values ​​in accordance with Islamic teachings. This research aims to explore the potential of AI in PAI, identify challenges that may arise, and formulate strategies to maintain a balance between technological advances and religious values. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach to analyze the role of AI in the PAI learning context. The research results show that AI can increase the accessibility of teaching materials by adapting to students' local and cultural contexts, as well as increasing student engagement in the learning process. However, a special strategy is needed to ensure that AI integration remains in line with Islamic values, including: (1) Integration of AI systems with a framework that is guided by Islamic principles, and (2) Development of AI based on religious ethics. This research recommends further empirical studies to measure the effectiveness of using AI in PAI learning.

Abstract

Qibla direction is a valid requirement in performing prayer. But then the understanding of Qibla direction becomes divided into two, the perspective of science and fiqh. These two opinions are then dialectic on ancient mosques in Lombok, where the Qibla direction is only based on the guidance/jihad of the wali/ulama. Methodology used in this research is qualitative research with the type of field research and socio-historical approach. The results of this study showed that the dialectic of Qibla direction on ancient mosques in Lombok can still be maintained and is still considered valid. This argument uses the fiqh argument that the Qibla direction is jihadul ka'bah. But certainly the fiqh perspective of jihadul ka'bah is no longer relevant if it is associated with measuring the Qibla direction in the construction of modern mosques.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the development of social media studies in government public communication using CiteSpace software. The method used in this study is qualitative with a literature review approach. Data sources were obtained from the Scopus database using the keywords “Social Media and Government Public Communication” from 2018 to 2023, resulting in 678 documents related to the research topic. The findings of this study indicate that social media studies as a means of government public communication in 2020 became a trending topic, as evidenced by the number of scientific publications in 2020 being the highest, namely 15 articles. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the government conducted a lot of coordination and provided information through social media. The United States contributed the most scientific publications, namely 25 articles. Meanwhile, social sciences were the most researched field related to social media and government public communication. Facebook served as a platform for the government to communicate and provide information regarding the handling and prevention of COVID-19. Meanwhile, Twitter was used by the government to open a dialogue space to receive ideas and input from the public. This study contributes to the government's understanding of how to build effective public communication for the community. This study has limitations in terms of the data sources analyzed, as it only uses data from the Scopus database to examine the development of social media studies as a tool for government public communication.

Abstract

Online customer reviews have become a crucial medium of communication between guests and service providers in the hospitality industry. This study aims to perform sentiment analysis on hotel reviews from Traveloka to support data-driven customer communication strategies. Using a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) deep learning model, 10,681 user-generated reviews related to hotels in Yogyakarta were collected, preprocessed, and classified into binary sentiment categories. To address class imbalance, Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) and class weighting were applied. The model achieved 90.17% accuracy, 93.61% precision, 95.31% recall, and 94.45% F1-score, indicating strong generalization and sentiment recognition performance. The results highlight the model's ability to extract meaningful sentiment patterns, which can enhance hotel management’s responsiveness, improve communication strategies, and support continuous service improvement based on customer feedback.
