2025-03-05T19:18:15+07:00

The development of digital technology has changed the landscape of business communication, especially social media-based marketing strategies. One growing trend is the use of micro-influencers, namely individuals with between 10,000 and 100,000 followers, who have high levels of engagement and are considered more authentic than macro-influencers or celebrities. This study aims to analyze the impact of micro-influencers on consumer trust in digital businesses, focusing on the factors that influence trust and how that trust impacts purchasing decisions. This study uses a quantitative method with data collection techniques through surveys. The main variables analyzed include authenticity, transparency of support, audience engagement, and brand loyalty. The results of the study show that micro-influencers have a significant influence on consumer trust, especially because they are considered more personal, honest, and transparent in providing product recommendations. The high level of interaction between micro-influencers and their audiences also increases emotional attachment and loyalty to the brands they promote. In addition, micro-influencer-based marketing strategies have proven to be more effective in building long-term relationships with consumers compared to traditional advertising or macro-influencers. These findings are expected to provide insight for businesspeople and marketers in developing more effective digital marketing strategies that are oriented towards consumer trust.

2025-03-20T18:12:35+07:00

As social media becomes a dominant channel for advocacy and marketing, its role in promoting sustainability is increasingly vital. This study examines how brands, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and influencers utilize social media platforms—Instagram, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter)—to engage audiences in sustainability campaigns. By conducting a comparative content analysis of 30 accounts (10 per category), this research identifies key persuasive strategies, engagement levels, and audience sentiment toward sustainability messaging. Preliminary findings suggest that influencers generate higher engagement and trust among audiences, while NGOs are perceived as the most credible sources of sustainability advocacy. Brands, despite their extensive reach, often face skepticism due to concerns over greenwashing. Posts that incorporate emotional storytelling and direct calls to action tend to receive higher engagement compared to purely informational content. Additionally, visual content such as short-form videos on TikTok and Instagram Reels attracts significantly more audience interaction than text-based posts on X.By analyzing these dynamics, this study provides insights into the effectiveness of digital sustainability campaigns and offers recommendations for optimizing social media strategies to enhance public participation in sustainability efforts. The findings will support organizations, policymakers, and content creators in developing more impactful sustainability messaging in the digital era.

2025-03-21T19:06:03+07:00

The new media era has changed the paradigm of personal branding for content creators, where the audience is no longer a passive consumer, but an active participant in the production and distribution of content. This study uses a qualitative method by analyzing @babeheji's personal branding strategy within the framework of participatory culture. The research focuses on authenticity, content consistency, active interaction, multiplatform use, and storytelling.

By understanding the dynamics of participatory culture, content creators can develop personal branding strategies that are more inclusive, interactive, and sustainable in the digital ecosystem.

2025-02-22T14:30:38+07:00

The problem in this study focuses on verbal and non-verbal violence that appears in the Main Hakim Sendiri program on NET in the Ramadhan period (March 13-22, 2024). Along with the increasing competition between television stations, some programs, including those aired during the month of Ramadan, often present sensational content containing elements of violence. This study uses a descriptive content analysis method with a quantitative approach to measure the frequency of violence that occurs in these shows. The results of this study found that verbal violence was more dominant than non-verbal violence in the “Main Hakim Sendiri” program aired during Ramadan 2024, with percentages of 52% and 47% respectively. The most common form of verbal violence is cursing, followed by mentioning with negative connotations, mockery, and insults. Meanwhile, non-verbal violence most often appeared in the form of hitting, throwing things, and pushing. Other findings show fluctuations in the intensity of violence in each episode, with the peak of violent incidents occurring on March 14, 2024. The dominance of verbal violence in this program reflects a pattern of using aggressive language to create conflict and attract audience attention, which has the potential to normalize aggressive behavior in society, especially for young audiences who are still in the character building stage.

Digital Literacy in The Family (Case Study of Restricting Youtube Use in Children)

2025-03-19T22:11:36+07:00

The rapid advancement of digital technology has transformed media consumption patterns within families, particularly among children. YouTube, as one of the most widely accessed video platforms for children, offers a vast array of educational content. However, it also presents risks such as digital addiction, exposure to inappropriate content, and potential disruptions to children's social and emotional development. Therefore, this study aims to analyze how parents manage their children's YouTube usage through parental mediation strategies to optimize its role as a learning tool. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach, gathering data through in-depth interviews with three families whose children, aged 6–12 years, actively use YouTube. The findings reveal that parents implement three primary parental mediation strategies: active mediation (open discussions about the content children consume), restrictive mediation (strict regulations on screen time and content access), and co-use mediation (direct parental supervision to ensure content safety). The study further indicates that each family adopts different communication patterns influenced by parental availability, children's level of openness, and the effectiveness of imposed regulations. Parents who consistently engage in active mediation foster children's critical awareness, enabling them to independently select educational content. Meanwhile, restrictive mediation, when applied consistently, effectively limits screen time but often faces resistance from children, who tend to negotiate for extended viewing time. Co-use mediation proves to be the most effective approach for controlling content quality, yet it requires a high level of parental involvement, which is often constrained by time constraints. Moreover, the study identifies several challenges in implementing parental mediation, including limited parental availability for supervision, difficulties in maintaining rule consistency, and children's emotional resistance to YouTube restrictions. However, the findings suggest that with open communication, active parental engagement, and consistent enforcement of rules, parents can cultivate healthy media consumption habits among children. Consequently, this study underscores the crucial role of digital literacy within families in balancing the educational benefits of YouTube while mitigating its potential negative impacts in the digital era.

Decoding Cancel Culture Representation: A Semiotic Content Analysis of Korean Movies and Series

2025-03-20T01:18:24+07:00

Cancel culture is a collective practice where individuals hold public figures accountable for actions or statements that violate social, cultural, ethical, or moral norms. In South Korea, this phenomenon has been long ingrained, amplified by active social media use and the spread of the Korean Wave (Hallyu) through K-pop, films, and dramas.

2025-02-19T16:09:10+07:00

Educating students in entrepreneurship is a way to enhance the number of entrepreneurs. At the higher education level, it is executed by incorporating entrepreneurship courses into the curriculum with particular emphasis. Attention must be directed towards various stakeholders, particularly the institutions that facilitate entrepreneurship education, to ensure that the program enhances not only quantitative outcomes (the number of new student ventures) but also qualitative outcomes (sustainable new ventures), even after the completion of the educational process. The presence of multiple objectives among members of the digital new venture group for interaction is a significant issue that requires additional investigation in this study. This research uses the Multiple Goals Theory framework in interpersonal communication to delineate the objectives of interaction as perceived by each member of the new digital venture group. The study employed a quasi-qualitative methodology, incorporating in-depth interviews, observations, and recording, involving 15 student participants from the new digital venture group and the facilitator. Every student in the new digital venture group possesses interaction objectives classified into three categories: instrumental goals, interpersonal goals, and identification goals. This study demonstrates that Multiple Goals Theory indicates the interaction objectives of students in the new digital venture group encompass primary goals, mostly categorized as instrumental goals, specifically aimed at achieving an optimal course evaluation and developing a new venture. In this study, secondary interaction goals, which are theoretically intended to impede the attainment of primary interaction goals, instead facilitate the fulfillment of those basic goals.

This article makes a significant contribution to the understanding of the dynamics of gender identity construction in the digital era, as well as the implications of social media as a play space that facilitates the construction of self-identity.

The "Makan Bergizi Gratis" program, initiated by the Indonesian government and amplified by the media outlet Tempodotco, has triggered widespread public discourse. This study aims to examine how the program is framed in official media narratives and how it is received by the public.

These findings underscore the complexity of digital policy communication, especially in politically charged environments. The study contributes to communication research by illustrating how media framing and audience interpretation interact in digital spaces. It also highlights the necessity for more responsive and transparent public communication strategies in large-scale policy initiatives.
