Abstract

This study aims to analyze the adaptive communication strategies employed by Harian Ambon Ekspres through a multiplatform journalism approach in response to the transformation of local media in the digital era. Utilizing a qualitative method with a case study approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis focused on media convergence practices at Harian Ambon Ekspres. The findings reveal that the main strategies include content diversification through the production of radio podcasts, which are subsequently disseminated across both print and digital formats; the use of various digital media platforms to expand audience reach and engagement; and the integration of four key platforms: the Harian Ambon Ekspres print newspaper, E-Paper, Ambonterkini.id, and Ameks.fajar.co.id. Moreover, media convergence has proven effective in reducing production costs and strengthening the competitiveness of the media institution amid technological disruption. The novelty of this study lies in its revelation that convergence functions not only as a technological adaptation but also as a cultural communication strategy that enables local media to remain relevant to the evolving needs and preferences of the public. These findings contribute significantly to the fields of social and political sciences, particularly in media studies, communication, and digital cultural dynamics, and highlight the importance of enhancing the innovation capacity of local media in navigating an ever-changing communication landscape.

Abstract

This study explores the role of youth in digital and traditional political education within Indonesia’s local democratic context, focusing on first-time voters in Waemulang Village, South Buru Regency. It aims to examine how young community leaders contribute to political awareness through adaptive communication strategies that address both technological developments and local needs. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected via in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The findings reveal that youth play a vital role in educating novice voters, acting not only as information disseminators but also as facilitators of political dialogue and engagement. Their active involvement significantly enhances political awareness among young citizens. Challenges remain, including low digital literacy and limited political interest. However, digital platforms and social media offer strategic opportunities for developing inclusive, interactive political education models. The novelty of this study lies in combining digital and traditional methods of political communication by rural youth—an area seldom explored in Indonesian contexts. The study recommends strengthening youth capacity as agents of social change through community-based political education and digital integration to foster participatory democracy at the grassroots. These insights contribute to social sciences and humanities discourse, particularly in understanding localized political engagement.

Abstract

This study explores the dynamics of political communication in the appointment and election system of traditional leadership (Raja) in the indigenous community of Negeri Hitumessing, Maluku, as a form of power negotiation within adat structures. The research is grounded in the significance of understanding political communication processes within a sociocultural space that retains strong traditional values while being influenced by modernity. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving community leaders, adat authorities, religious figures, youth representatives, and village officials. Political communication theory and Harold Lasswell’s model serve as the conceptual framework to analyze message transmission, actors involved, communication channels, and the resulting socio-political impacts. Findings reveal that the Raja election functions not only as a contest for authority but also as a symbolic arena for competing group interests. Communication channels are hybrid in nature—oral interactions through informal community networks coexist with digital expressions via social media, particularly Facebook, which facilitates public critique and opinion formation. The election process significantly affects social values, religious practices, and public perceptions of legitimacy. This study contributes a novel mapping of political communication’s role within adat institutions, offering insights for integrating political communication approaches in local leadership studies and strengthening community-based democracy in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article explores organizational communication strategies within village governance aimed at enhancing community participation in local development. The study focuses on how village governments establish multidirectional communication interactions to strengthen citizen engagement in the planning and implementation of development programs. Conducted in Kataloka Village, Maluku, this research adopts a qualitative approach, utilizing in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the success of community participation is closely linked to the effectiveness of organizational communication employed by the village government, particularly in managing the flow of information through vertical (top-down), horizontal (peer-to-peer), and diagonal (cross-structural) communication. Key challenges identified include limited two-way communication channels and low levels of digital literacy among residents. However, efforts to intensify face-to-face dialogue and actively involve citizens in community forums have proven effective in increasing engagement. The novelty of this study lies in its emphasis on the integration of vertical, horizontal, and diagonal communication flows as a strategic mechanism to reinforce participatory democracy at the local level. This article recommends strengthening the communication capacity of village governments and developing inclusive communication channels as a contribution to the advancement of social sciences, particularly in the fields of organizational communication and rural governance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategic role of the Public Relations Bureau in reproducing public image and seeking political legitimacy for local government amidst dynamic socio-political change, focusing on the Provincial Government of Maluku. Employing a qualitative approach, the research was conducted in Ambon City through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis within the Public Relations Bureau of the Maluku Governor's Office. The findings reveal that the Bureau has not effectively implemented public relations strategies to maintain and enhance the government’s image. Key obstacles include the inability to translate policies into public narratives, failure to adapt to evolving social dynamics, and weak two-way communication with stakeholders. Additionally, public relations personnel lack the analytical capacity to interpret socio-political trends or provide strategic recommendations to leadership. These shortcomings indicate that the Bureau’s role as a key actor in perception management and legitimacy-building remains suboptimal. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative approach, combining political communication theory and institutional dynamics at the local level, offering fresh insights into state-society relations through strategic communication. The study recommends strengthening institutional capacity and professionalizing public relations functions to meet the demands of contemporary political communication in local governance.

Abstract

This study examines the dysfunction of intra-familial linguistic transmission as a key factor in the decline of indigenous languages, focusing on the Wayoli ethnic group in Tulehu, Central Maluku. It explores socio-cultural barriers that hinder language preservation, particularly within family communication. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Findings reveal that indigenous language use is largely limited to older family members or occurs only between spouses. Children, as the next generation, are not actively involved in using the language, resulting in a discontinuity of transmission. Major obstacles include semantic barriers—children’s inability to understand the language; psychological barriers—parents' fear that using local language may impede their children’s mastery of Indonesian; and socio-institutional barriers—such as the weak role of traditional leaders and the absence of indigenous language education in schools. These dynamics point to a broader pattern of linguistic neglect rooted in structural and cultural shifts. This study contributes to the discourse on language endangerment by highlighting the need to revitalize the roles of family and educational institutions as agents of linguistic sustainability. It recommends collaborative strategies involving families, cultural leaders, and schools to reintegrate local languages into everyday life and the educational curriculum.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the integrated communication strategy grounded in marketing paradigms implemented by the Siwalima Museum to enhance youth engagement. The study is motivated by the declining interest of younger generations in cultural institutions such as museums, and the urgent need for adaptive and innovative communication approaches. Employing a qualitative methodology, this research uses a case study design, participatory observation, and in-depth interviews with museum administrators, young visitors, and strategic partners. Findings reveal that Siwalima Museum structures its communication strategy through six key stages: situational analysis, goal setting, audience targeting, message formulation, communication program development, and evaluation. These strategies manifest in thematic events, digital media utilization, creative advertising, and student-specific discount programs. The museum also applies three core marketing approaches: internal marketing through team building and staff training; integrated marketing by aligning product, price, and promotion; and relationship marketing via partnerships with schools, communities, and private sector actors through the “Friends of Siwalima Museum” initiative. The novelty of this study lies in its integration of marketing principles within public and educational museum communication, offering a holistic approach that bridges cultural values with the communication preferences of younger audiences. The study recommends that other cultural institutions adopt integrated communication strategies responsive to youth dynamics to ensure social relevance and institutional sustainability in the social sciences and humanities domain.

Abstract

This article explores the transformation of adolescent social interaction patterns in the digital era, focusing on social media users in Liang Village, a rural community. This study is grounded in the growing phenomenon of a shift from face-to-face interaction to screen-mediated communication, a hallmark of contemporary digital culture. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design, this research involved six adolescents aged 14–18 and two parents as key informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation to capture the nuanced dynamics of social interaction. The findings reveal that social media has reshaped the way adolescents connect, replacing meaningful face-to-face interactions with more superficial and instant digital engagements. The study also identifies a rising tendency toward social anxiety and a decline in adolescents’ ability to build authentic interpersonal relationships. While social media facilitates the maintenance of existing connections, its overall impact on the quality and quantity of social relationships appears to be largely detrimental. The novelty of this study lies in its rural context, which remains underrepresented in social media research. This article recommends adaptive educational and cultural interventions to strengthen adolescents' capacity to foster healthy social relationships. The study contributes to digital sociology and opens new avenues for discourse in social sciences and humanities, particularly regarding technology's impact on marginalized communities.
