Abstract

Mass media has three functions, namely education, information and entertainment. If we look at its function, the media really provides new innovations to society. These three functions not only have positive effects, but in fact mass media also has negative effects on society. With the function of mass media and its effects that can change attitudes, behavior and social order, mass media or broadcasting must have good control and be wise in providing information to the public. Every broadcasting in Indonesia must be regulated and controlled in presenting information. There are binding rules so that every element involved in presenting news or information must use it as a reference and guideline. The social responsibility of broadcasting that is currently expected is freedom of responsibility, with the understanding that media people or journalists are free to convey various information to the public, but are responsible for thinking about the improvement and morality of society. The role of broadcast media in Indonesia has a responsibility to the public by implementing the provisions of the Broadcasting Law and more specifically implementing P3SPS with high commitment, in order to realize broadcast quality and have a positive effect on society.

Abstract

Digital media plays a crucial role in shaping Sosial awareness regarding the issue of bullying, which increasingly occurs within virtual spaces. This critical descriptive qualitative study analyzes the role of the Sosial media platform TikTok in building anti-bullying awareness through the case study of the activism and subsequent death of Timothy Anugerah Saputra, a student at FISIP Udayana University, Bali. The findings indicate that while TikTok serves as an effective advocacy platform for spreading empathy through storytelling, its virality features (Duet/Stitch) ironically accelerated systematic and fatal cyberbullying. The case highlights a failure of the dual system, encompassing inadequate platform moderation and insufficient institutional support, which failed to adequately respond to the massive attacks. This emphasizes the critical need for ethical digital media utilization and the strengthening of psychoSosial interventions in the online sphere

Abstract

This study explores flood crisis management strategies developed by local communities through a bottom-up approach and community-driven crisis management perspective. The research investigates how communities in Medan City manage flood crises through three integrated phases: emergency response, post-disaster recovery, and long-term adaptation. Using descriptive qualitative methods with in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and local document analysis of flood-affected communities during the November 2025 disaster, this research identifies patterns of spontaneous responses grounded in indigenous local knowledge, mobilization of social networks through informal leadership, and collective learning that transforms adaptive community behaviors. The findings reveal that communities are not passive actors but active respondents who organize indigenous early warning systems, simple technology-based emergency communication, and mutual assistance as mechanisms for socio-economic recovery. This study emphasizes the critical importance of recognizing and strengthening community local capacity in collaborative and participatory disaster management policies that promote sustainable resilience and inclusive disaste r risk reduction.
