Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze euphemistic expressions that reflect social prejudice in the 2024 Indonesian presidential debate, specifically those used by Anies Baswedan in reference to Prabowo Subianto. The study is significant in revealing how linguistic strategies are employed in political communication to deliver implicit yet ideologically charged criticism. Adopting a qualitative descriptive method within an ethnocommunicative framework, data were collected through passive participatory observation, note-taking, and documentation of debate recordings and transcripts. The data were analyzed using content analysis in five stages: problem formulation, theoretical framework development, methodological design, application of analytical techniques (classification, semantic interpretation, and contextual inference), and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that Anies Baswedan employed three types of euphemism—underspecification, overstatement, and understatement (litotes)—to express negative evaluations containing various forms of social prejudice, including stereotyping, social judgment, and antilocution.

Abstract

In today’s complex and fast-changing work environments, organizations increasingly rely on employees who can take initiative without waiting for instruction. However, this urgency is often undermined by a persistent behavioral pattern: the bystander effect, where individuals hesitate to act due to perceived shared responsibility. While previous research has explored organizational silence and proactivity separately, few studies have examined how internal communication affects proactive behavior through the lens of the bystander effect. This study uses Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze data from 200 employees across the public and private sectors in Bali. The results reveal that organizational communication significantly reduces the bystander effect and enhances proactive behavior, both directly and indirectly. The bystander effect is shown to be a meaningful psychological mechanism that mediates these dynamics. Future research should explore how remote work, digital communication, or leadership style influence this relationship over time.

Abstract

Digital transformation has significantly reshaped social interaction patterns, including how Muslim women express themselves after divorce. The period of 'iddah, which is traditionally understood in Islamic law as a waiting period that restricts women's public presence and activity, now confronts new realities: women's virtual presence through digital platforms such as Instagram. This study aims to examine the digital activities of Muslim women during 'iddah by analyzing the cases of content creators Ria Ricis and Natalie Holscher, and to compare these practices with the classical jurisprudential views of the four major Sunni schools of thought. Employing a qualitative approach, this research uses literature analysis and case study methods, framed by the principles of maqāṣid al-sharī'ah and Islamic gender justice. The findings reveal that classical Islamic jurisprudence generally emphasizes restrictions on women's mobility and appearance during 'iddah, yet offers no explicit guidance on digital behavior in modern contexts. Meanwhile, the digital practices of the selected figures do not necessarily contradict Islamic ethical values, especially when driven by productive motives and conducted within the bounds of modesty. Therefore, this study argues for a contextual and gender-sensitive reinterpretation of Islamic law to respond to the evolving digital realities faced by contemporary Muslim women.

Abstract

This study investigates how intercultural communication competence (ICC), communication skills (CS), quality of interaction (QI), and experience co-creation (ECC) influence tourist satisfaction (TS) in Mandalika, Indonesia. The research aims to examine both direct and indirect effects, including the mediating roles of CS and QI, and the moderating role of ECC. The study also compares responses between Asian and European tourists to uncover cultural differences. Using an explanatory research design, data were collected through structured questionnaires from 581 tourists and analysed using PLS-SEM and Multi-Group Analysis with SmartPLS 4.0.3. The results show that ICC significantly affects TS through CS and QI in the full sample but not within cultural subgroups. ECC significantly strengthens the effect of QI on TS across all groups. This study contributes theoretically to intercultural communication and offers practical guidance for destination managers to adopt culturally adaptive and co-creative service strategies.

Abstract

This study analyzes the popularity of political parties and official competitor in the 2024 political decision. This kind of examination is qualitative with a Qualitative Data Analysis Software (QDAS) approach. Research data were obtained from 90 factual, actual, sharp news documents focused on research themes sourced from online media detik, tribunnews, kompas, and pikiranrakyat in the past year. The projection analysis of this research data uses the NVivio 12 Plus device. The analysis results show that online media has high intensity towards the popularity of political parties and presidential candidates in the 2024 election. Four online media mention Nasdem Party, Democrat Party, KIB Party, PDI.P, and Gerindra Party more frequently. In addition, the names of the popular presidential candidates in the 2024 election in four online media are Anies Baswedan, Ganjar Pronowo, Prabowo Subianto, Airlangga Hartanto, and Muhaimin Iskandar. The implication is that online media will play a role with high intensity towards the popularity of political parties in Indonesia; even in the upcoming 2024 elections, online media will be seen to tend to one of the political parties and presidential candidates being carried out.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between social media activity and the level of trust in digital news, both disseminated through social media and traditional media. With a quantitative approach and explanatory design, data were collected through a survey of 300 social media active respondents in Indonesia and analyzed using the Pearson correlation test and simple linear regression. Results showed a positive and significant relationship between social media activity and trust in news on social media (r = 0.478; β = 0.472; R² = 0.229), but there was no significant association with trust in news in traditional media (r = –0.108; β = –0.094; R² = 0.011). These findings suggest that nearly a quarter of the variation in trust in digital news can be explained by the intensity of users' social activity in digital media, with trust mechanisms driven more by algorithmic exposure, social validation, and echo chamber effects than institutional credibility. This study confirms and contextualizes the media trust model and agenda-setting theory in Indonesia's digital environment, especially considering that 91% of respondents stated that they first encountered news through social media. This study recommends strengthening digital literacy based on social interaction and developing news distribution strategies adaptive to people's digital trust patterns.

Abstract

Jawi script has lost its edge as a unifying language in the archipelago and is included as a means of communication that is starting to fade. So it is necessary to make efforts to embed digitalisation of Jawi script in order to maintain Indonesian culture in learning materials that can be accessed by the wider community using the help of the internet. In this era of artificial intelligence, there are translation machines that utilise text photography that can translate between languages, so this research focuses on efforts to preserve the Jawi script through aspects of readability for the younger generation. The research was qualitative by implementing trial and error test methods and distributing questionnaires, with the results that the use of effective applications is still limited to translation between languages ​​with the same script, but the application requires updates and upgrades to be able to translate between scripts.

Abstract

This research aims to explore and analyze public service innovations in the "Mobile SIM program" by the Indonesian National Police. Through a qualitative approach, this study explores perceptions, experiences, and challenges in the implementation of this service from the perspective of police personnel and the user community. The results of the study show that the "Mobile Driver's License" is a tangible manifestation of public service innovation based on community needs, but still faces obstacles such as limited human resources, facilities, and the use of digital technology. Recommendations are given to improve the effectiveness and reach of services through strengthening the capacity of Human Resources, cross-sector collaboration, and integration of public service information systems. This service provides a more flexible access alternative for the public in renewing their Driver's License, while reflecting the efforts of state institutions to bring services closer to the public.

Abstract

This research analyzes how the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), as a transnational actor, frames President Joko Widodo on the issue of corruption and its impact on domestic and international public perception. This research uses a qualitative approach with soft power analysis, framing theory, and boomerang pattern, examining transnational media strategies in constructing corruption narratives. The research results show that OCCRP uses soft power through investigations and voting to nominate Jokowi as a finalist for "Person of the Year in Organized Crime and Corruption," which triggers pressure on the government. Framing is carried out through problem definition, cause diagnosis (political dynasties, conflicts of interest, weakening of the KPK), moral judgment, and solution recommendations. The boomerang pattern shows how local media exploit international reports to criticize the government, trigger media polarization, and the media-power dynamics. OCCRP's soft power shapes public perception and has the potential to influence Indonesia's international reputation. This research contributes to understanding transnational media's role in shaping public perception, influencing domestic politics, and the importance of image in the global media era.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the psychospiritual dimensions of Digital Emotional Dependence (DED) in the context of Islamic da'wah and communication, and analyze its impact on the effectiveness of Islamic educational technology and ethical engagement in religious digital platforms. The study uses a phenomenological approach with a systematic literature review of empirical research from 2010-2024 that examines the neurobiological, psychological, and spiritual aspects of digital dependency in religious communication. The analysis was conducted on the neurological dimensions (prefrontal cortex and amygdala activity), neurotransmitter mechanisms (dopamine and serotonin), and subjective experiences of spiritual emotional regulation in the context of digital da'wah. The findings show that DED in digital da'wah is correlated with decreased capacity for tafakkur (spiritual contemplation), impaired regulation of religious emotions, and fragmentation of spiritual experiences. Digital dependency creates dissonance between the consumption of religious content and the implementation of Islamic values, resulting in maladaptive coping mechanisms that hinder authentic spiritual transformation. Respondents showed increased impulsivity in religious digital interactions and decreased ability to deeply contemplate da'wah messages. Conclusion: A holistic intervention is needed that integrates Islamic digital literacy, dhikr and muraqabah-based spiritual practices, and a tawhid-based cognitive-behavioral approach to optimize digital religious communication and prevent counterproductive emotional dependence on Islamic spiritual goals.
