Abstract

This study generated and content-analyzed Facebook and Instagram postings on agricultural messages by Nigerian farmers in three years  (2019-2021) within specific contexts and in comparison with postings similar to ones initiated by private individuals and government agencies as well as those posted at continental level on the two social media channels. While the data are graphically displayed, a paired-sample T-test was conducted to establish statistically significant differences in the agricultural messages posted on the two social media by Nigerian farmers and farmers from other countries in Africa. All four null hypotheses tested were rejected as statistically significant differences were established between the paired population means. It was also found that Nigerian farmers are accustomed to the use of social media in promoting agricultural-related messages, indicating their exposure to the diffusion of agricultural innovation in line with the trends in advanced nations. It was concluded that social media remains a viable tool for promoting agriculture, particularly during food insecurity and global economic crisis. It was recommended that the Nigerian government should provide an enabling environment for agricultural promotion in the digital age.

Abstract

Today's technology industry faces numerous issues, including scandals, data theft, consumer complaints, technology addiction, fake news, political polarization, and hacking. These problems are raised in the Netflix docudrama The Social Dilemma. This research discusses how algorithms and social media platform design can manipulate user behavior in both utopian and dystopian ways. It analyzes these dynamics through economic, political, sociocultural, and media perspectives, using Christian Fuchs' critical theory approach with critical discourse analysis and semiotics. The findings show that algorithms act as a double-edged sword. In a dystopian context, technology creates a bleak future in which it controls and damages human life. Conversely, in a utopian context, industrial technology has the potential to foster a more positive public perception. This research successfully explores how the increasing reliance on technology for work affects individuals' understanding of truth and shapes their perspectives on various aspects of life. By combining critical discourse analysis and semiotics, this study comprehensively analyzes the implications of digital labor on both utopian and dystopian narratives.

Abstract

This study examines the strategic role of public relations in religious organizations, focusing on how Muhammadiyah employs communication to foster its organizational values and reinforce its identity. By adopting Pacanowsky’s cultural approach to organizational theory, the research delves into how symbols, narratives, and rituals inherent in Muhammadiyah’s culture are effectively integrated into its public relations strategy. A qualitative methodology was employed, including in-depth interviews and document analysis, to explore how these cultural elements are embedded in communication practices. The findings reveal that Muhammadiyah carefully aligns its public relations efforts with its organizational culture, enabling an authentic representation of its values to internal and external stakeholders. The study underscores the significance of maintaining consistency between an organization's identity, values, and communication strategies, particularly for religious institutions. It concludes that strategically incorporating cultural elements into communication not only preserves organizational integrity but also enhances the institution's relevance and influence in its broader societal context.

Abstract

This research is a qualitative case study examining government digital communication in the implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs in Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta. Many companies have implemented CSR programs in Gunung Kidul, capitalizing on the area’s substantial tourism potential. However, the Regional Government, through the Regional Development Planning Agency (BAPPEDA), has yet to maximize its monitoring and evaluation of these programs, as it currently relies on conventional approaches. The purpose of this study is to identify a government digital communication model for CSR implementation, with a focus on the tourism sector. This model is developed from Werner’s concept of digital communication, incorporating cyberspace, virtual communities, interactivity, and multimedia. Few studies have explored a digital-based communication model for CSR; thus, this research aims to address that gap. By adopting this model, stakeholders can collaborate more effectively to enhance CSR efforts in Gunung Kidul’s tourism sector.

Abstract

The evolution of smartphone technology has instigated significant shifts in journalistic culture. Both consciously and subconsciously, a multitude of television journalists have embraced mobile journalism (MoJo), especially for correspondents or journalists in the regions. This study aims to elucidate the impact of technological determinism on television journalists and how it fosters a distinctive MoJo work culture. Using a case study methodology, the research integrates observations and interviews with 35 television journalists who have engaged in mobile journalism. Data analysis focuses on four primary areas: technological determinism within journalists in the realms of reductionism, monism, neutralization, and technological imperatives. The research findings suggest that the adoption of MoJo does not obliterate the existing journalistic culture but serves as an alternative avenue for generating diverse and creative news content. The use of technology is inherently tied to the user, highlighting the need for enhanced moral considerations in its application. While the ease of technology facilitates reporting, journalists continue to uphold the content of their reports and maintain their professionalism. The evaluation of the MoJo concept in Indonesia should be supported by product regulations and standardization to ensure it does not become conflated with content creator practices.

Abstract

This research examines the representation of scenes in the movie Ivanna (2022) using the shadow technique through a qualitative approach and Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic theory. Ivanna is a horror film that tells the story of the spirit of Ivanna, a Dutch woman who was beheaded by Japanese soldiers during their colonization of Indonesia. The depiction of the sadism of the massacre that befell Ivanna, combined with the time-setting connectivity through the shadow technique, makes the study of how this technique produces a smooth transition between two realities with different time settings a unique and interesting subject. This study, which employs the shadow technique, complements film representation studies, an area that has not been extensively explored. Peirce's semiotics involve categories in the meaning process, commonly referred to as the meaning triangle, which includes the sign, the sign reference, and the sign use. The results show that cinematography effectively presents a visual representation of the narrative, particularly in the horror genre, where light plays a key role in creating tension. In conclusion, Ivanna successfully combines both elements to convey messages and enhance the audience's experience.
