Abstract

Background: Understanding the concept of development communication is necessary. The study of development communication has grown and tends to be dynamic in Africa and Asia. Any communication modifications are crucial, and they can serve as the starting point for the development history. Purpose: The research aimed to develop a new perspective for studying development communication. Methods: The research used a qualitative approach. It analyzed the evolution and history of concepts that developed in the study of development communication in Africa and Asia. The data were collected through a review of literature from various journals, books, and other publications relevant to development communication studies in Africa and Asia. The researchers used a literature review as a methodology, considering that knowledge production is getting faster. Besides, the researchers complemented the study on development communication among Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia’s context. Results: The study showed that development communication is most relevant to developing countries such as Africa and Asia. Based on the best practice of MSME in DIY, the autopoietic system by Niklas Luhmann is essential as an innovative perspective in development communication study. The autopoietic approach emphasizes that the system will produce its components self-creation to reduce complexity. It consists of communication, evolution, and differentiation, which build up the autopoietic system. Conclusion: The logic of the autopoietic system, which negates humans, is still challenging to build awareness of communication significance as the core of development communication, not the actors. Implications: This idea suggests the impact of advancing communication studies, particularly future communication studies development.

Abstract

Background: Cinematography has evolved significantly with technological advancements. In Makassar, Indonesia, film distribution faced challenges due to limited cinemas and competition with imported films. The research explores how technology has transformed film production, distribution, and promotion in Makassar. It addresses gaps in understanding regional cinema’s adaptation to technological changes. Purpose: This research aimed to examine the role of technology in transforming film production and distribution around Makassar. Methods: The study employed qualitative research methods with a case study approach. Data was collected through interviews and observation with key figures in Makassar’s film industry, including producers, directors, and editors. The research applied the Social Construction of Technology (SCoT) theory to analyze how social factors shaped and influenced technology. Results: In pre-production, technology helps with audience research and visual concept design; In the production stage, digital cameras increase image quality and flexibility. In post-production, advanced software allows for better editing and visual effects despite limited local experts; In distribution, it expanded from theaters to streaming platforms, reaching a wider audience. All stages benefit from better collaboration through digital tools. Conclusion: This study found that technology has significantly impacted all stages of filmmaking in Makassar. At the pre-production stage, digital tools facilitate collaboration and audience research. During production, advanced cameras and equipment enhance visual quality and creative possibilities. Post-production benefits from sophisticated editing software, although some processes still require expertise outside the region. Film distribution does not rely on movie theatres; it is distributed through platforms like Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, and Prime Video. Implications: Specifically, findings suggest that regional filmmakers should invest in digital skills and explore diverse distribution channels. Theoretically, the study contributes to understanding how SCoT applies in regional film contexts. It highlights the importance of considering local social dynamics in technological adoption within creative industries.

Abstract

Background: The tight business competition in Indonesia has made branding practitioners develop the most effective strategy to increase brand awareness by collaborating with influencers. In Indonesia, the number of influencers increases annually. One of the biggest is Insta-moms, mom influencers, or momfluencers. Momfluencers have challenges to ensure that their content does not violate ethics, such as advertising rules, and does not mislead the audience. Unfortunately, their lack of awareness of influencer ethics lets them create content based on briefs from clients or management and rely on their common sense. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the contents of momfluencers, as micro-influencers, through an ethical perspective. Methods: We conducted a quantitative content analysis of 569 posts from 12 momfluencers. Results: Momfluencers’ posts predominantly consist of commercial content in videos or reels featuring influencer portraits with long descriptions. Ethically, momfluencers fail to meet the ethical norms. Aspects that have not been fulfilled are interaction with the audience, respect, participatory activities, social responsibility, connectedness, and loyalty. Meanwhile, aspects that have been fulfilled are trustworthiness, expertise or credibility, appearance, content quality, and communication quality. This study also found two potential ethics violations of momfluencer, engagement bias, and sharenting. Conclusion: Influencers have become an industry. Normalizing unethical practices due to a lack of information should be avoided. Influencer management and influencers under their auspices should know what is permissible and impermissible in their roles. Although there is no code of ethics for influencers in Indonesia, rules for public relations, journalism, and advertising can be a guide. Implications: The results of this study could be an evaluation for influencers in Indonesia and can be input for formulating an influencer code of ethics in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: The speech by Megawati Soekarnoputri, the 5th President of Indonesia, commemorating the 50th anniversary of Partai Demokrasi Perjuangan Indonesia (PDIP), has sparked significant public debate. While critics argue her speech was overly critical of President Joko Widodo, others view it as constructive criticism. Therefore, it is significant to examine Megawati’s actual perspective on the incumbent president and the real relationship between her position as chairperson and the president’s status as her cadre. Purpose: This study aims to analyze Megawati’s speech to uncover whether there is a misalignment between its intended message and impact which may have led to controversy. It analyzes the interpretation of people outside PDIP based on Aristotle’s rhetorical framework—ethos, logos, and pathos—to assess her communication strategy and public reception. Methods: A descriptive qualitative approach was used, with special interviews to gain a broader perspective. Triangulation was achieved by involving informants, along with observations, juxtaposing it with previous related research. Results: Based on the research findings, the author discovered that Megawati’s speech functioned primarily to communicate internally with the party’s members within her role as the chairperson. Based on rhetorical frameworks, the speech was exclusive to the internal context, and it could have been misinterpreted by people beyond the intended audience if the message had been amplified by mass and social media channels. Conclusion: The controversy arose because some receptors were not intended to receive her message due to massive distribution to the public either by mass media or social media. Implications: Interpretation of Megawati’s speech must be contextualized within the internal framework of PDIP reflecting its distinctive cultural and tradition attributes. The media outlets that cover this event should adopt a more balanced approach to present the realities to the public.

Abstract

Background: The mom-body positivity movement is trending on social media to encourage mothers to find comfort in their new maternal bodies. In reality, many postpartum mothers experience antipathy for their body changes, and the way they deal with the stress of postpartum body image can impact their adaptation to the role of motherhood. Purpose: This study seeks to understand how intrapersonal communication within digital-age mothers constructs the meaning of postpartum body image. It is expected to motivate mothers to appreciate, accept, and love their maternal bodies. Methods: The research adopted the constructivist paradigm and a phenomenological study design, and the subjects were eight first-time mothers who had experienced childbirth within the past two years. Results: The study found that a mother’s journey to loving her postpartum body is diverse: some can instantly love their bodily changes, while others come to love their bodies later, after receiving positive affirmations from their closest circle. In addition, motherhood content on Instagram can provide virtual support to those who find it difficult to perceive their postpartum body image positively. Conclusion: Mothers are the key to happiness in the family. If they are unhappy, the baby is also unhappy. To create a healthy family, mothers require support from a healthy environment to construct a positive image of their postpartum bodies with minimal stress thus carrying out their maternal duties well. Implications: This study broadens mothers’ definition of beauty, further looks at postpartum mothers’ physical and mental well-being, and helps formulate better awareness and education on the meaning of postpartum body image at the individual, familial, and communal levels in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Visual elements in content play a crucial role in influencing user engagement on social media platforms. This study focuses on Instagram, a widely used social media platforms in Indonesia, using the official account of a government institution, that is the Instagram account of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF) of the Republic of Indonesia for analysis. It is important to increase public awareness about environmental challenges, such as land degradation and the decline of animal populations, and to disseminate information about preserving Indonesia’s native fauna and flora through conservation programs. Purpose: This study aims to analyze and compare the visual factors in each Instagram post of the MoEF, to evaluate user interaction with the account. Instagram was chosen because the institution is more active on this media platform compared to others. Methods: This study employed a quantitative content analysis, using one-way ANOVA analysis to review potential variations in user interaction across different visual factors. Results: The results revealed variation among categories in terms of content type (F = 8.146; p = 0.001), visual aesthetics (F = 8.299; p = 0.004), and presentation modality (F = 4.341; p = 0.038). This finding suggests that government Instagram accounts need to carefully consider visual factors to enhance user interaction. Implications: This study provides guidance for government institutions on enhancing environmental awareness through effective visual communication strategies on social media, particularly Instagram.
