Reimagining Strategic Communication in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
type: item
description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a pivotal force reshaping the practice and theory of strategic communication. Organizations increasingly rely on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and its applications—such as sentiment analysis and automated content generation—to manage stakeholder relationships, monitor public discourse, and optimize communication strategies. Drawing upon insights from the presentation Reimagining Strategic Communication in the Age of AI, this article critically examines the opportunities and challenges posed by AI integration in strategic communication. Through a qualitative conceptual analysis supported by contemporary scholarly literature, this study argues that while AI enhances efficiency, scalability, and data-driven decision-making, it simultaneously introduces ethical risks related to authenticity, creativity, trust, and accountability. The discussion highlights the paradox of AI mediated communication, where technological sophistication may undermine relational and symbolic dimensions central to strategic communication. This article proposes a human-centered hybrid framework that positions AI as an assistive intelligence rather than an autonomous communicator. The findings contribute to ongoing debates in strategic communication scholarship by emphasizing the need for ethical governance, contextual sensitivity, and the preservation of human agency in AI-driven communication environments.

Generative Artificial Intelligence and Zero-Click Search
type: item
description: This study investigates the transformative impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI) and zero-click search on website traffic and the business models of online media. As AI-powered search engines shift from providing links to delivering synthesized answers directly on search engine result pages (SERPs), traditional metrics like click-through rates and site visits are rapidly declining. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach based on content analysis and literature review, this paper highlights the behavioral shift among users—from information exploration to instant gratification—and its implications for ad-based and subscription-driven revenue models. Findings show a significant reduction in both organic and paid CTRs, particularly for non-branded informational queries. The study also explores legal tensions around AI training on copyrighted content, as well as emerging adaptive strategies including entity optimization, premium content offerings, and direct audience engagement. The research concludes that media companies must redefine success metrics, personalize content through AI, and develop resilient business models to remain competitive in an evolving digital ecosystem.

Artificial Intelligence and the Quest for Truth: Navigating Misinformation in Digital News Environments
type: item
description: In an age where artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping communication and media landscapes, the challenge of discerning truth from misinformation has intensified. This paper explores the intersection of AI and digital news consumption, focusing on how audiences navigate the complexities of information in the digital realm. Utilising a problem-solution framework, the study investigates AI's role in perpetuating and combating misinformation and proposes strategies for enhancing digital literacy and critical thinking among news consumers. This paper reveals users' experiences as they grapple with the overwhelming influx of information through a descriptive phenomenological research approach, including in-depth interviews and thematic analysis. The findings underscore the necessity of integrating AI tools in media literacy initiatives, fostering a more informed public capable of navigating the digital information environment effectively.

An Examination of TikTok's Content Governance: Alignment Between Policy and Practice
type: item
description: This paper explores TikTok’s platform-level content governance by assessing whether its moderation policies align with the actual outcomes of its “For You Page” (FYP) algorithm. Using a mixed-methods approach, analysing video engagement data and reviewing platform guidelines, we evaluate TikTok’s claim that content relevance, not creator popularity, drives recommendations. Results show that while lesser-known creators can gain visibility, the algorithm strongly favours entertaining content with positive emotional tones, suggesting subtle biases. A cross-platform comparison with YouTube and Instagram reveals similar trends: all three platforms amplify polished, mainstream content while often marginalizing niche or socially significant voices. Reports from marginalized creators, highlight concerns of algorithmic demotion and "shadow banning" (Eltaher et al., 2025). These findings raise questions about transparency, fairness, and accountability in algorithmic governance. With regulatory frameworks like the EU’s Digital Services Act now in play, platforms face increasing pressure to make their recommender systems auditable and equitable. The paper concludes by calling for clearer policy enforcement, independent algorithm audits, and stronger safeguards to protect content diversity and creator equity.

Negotiating the New: Finding The Common Ground To Integrate AI into Early Applied Design Education for Industry Readiness
type: item
description: How can AI support creativity without compromising foundational skills in design education? This study reports on an educational innovation grant project conducted in a first year interior design course at Petra Christian University. AI was introduced not as a design generator but as an ideation partner. Students began with manual sketching based on field research of historical architecture in Surabaya’s Old Town. They gradually learned to enhance their sketches using free AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, Canva, and Photopea). Collaborative work with fashion design students aimed to add contextual narrative layers for users and reinterpret Art Deco elements into spatial and wearable concepts. The research was conducted in a mixed-method design by observing design thinking applied in both studios while incorporating AI in the design process, peer review to enhance collaborative design development between 2 studios, and quantitative evaluation through a questionnaire. The questionnaire was disseminated as a post-studio evaluation and completed by 54 students from both studios. Findings from the questionnaire and instructors’ observations indicate that, rather than diminishing creativity, AI has helped students gain clarity in early design decisions and encouraged the intentional use of manual techniques. However, challenges remain in students' prompt-building capabilities and understanding of scale, interior spatial senses, fashion details constraints, and authorship in AI-generated images. This paper reflects on the pedagogical implications of AI as both opportunity and disruption, advocating for a balanced, human centred curriculum where technology serves—but does not replace—designer intuition.

Examining The Scholarly Literature on The Methods of Political Communication in Indonesia
type: item
description: This study systematically reviews the evolution of political communication research in Indonesia from 2004 to 2024, emphasizing East Java as a dynamic sub-national context within the country’s democratic transition. It bridges theoretical and regional gaps by integrating the agenda-setting, framing, and mediamorphosis theories to interpret the shifting landscape of political discourse. Using a PRISMA-based protocol, data from national and international publications were thematically analyzed to trace conceptual developments and methodological trends. The findings indicate a transformation from traditional mass media to algorithmic digital platforms that reconfigure campaign strategies, issue salience, and public framing in both national and local arenas. Through the lens of mediamorphosis, this shift illustrates how media convergence and technological adaptation reshape participatory democracy and regional political engagement. However, existing studies remain urban- and elite-oriented, often neglecting local language, rural participation, and everyday communicative practices. This review contributes a synthesized theoretical framework and a regional perspective to understand Indonesia’s mediated democracy, while recommending ethnographic and discourse-based approaches to capture the lived realities of political communication across diverse local contexts.

State Dysfunction in the Film “Borderless Fog”
type: item
description: In the context of media, film as a mass media can influence and reflect the reality of life in society. This research addresses the lack of studies examining how reality is represented in the movie in Indonesian border narratives. For people in the middle of an area, it is often difficult to see the reality that is taking place in border areas, especially in Indonesia. The film Borderless Fog by director Edwin is one of the films that depicts the border setting in Indonesia-Malaysia. This study uses a qualitative approach with a semiotic analysis research method from Ferdinand de Saussure which examines meaning through a system of signifiers and signified. This study presents the dysfunction of the state contained in the Borderless Fog film scene which shows the lack of supporting infrastructure, human trafficking, illegal logging, and corruption within state institutions. State dysfunction is depicted in the form of the state's absence in providing basic services, as well as the involvement of officials in illegal practices, which should be the government's job to fix.

Smart Government Empowering Communities for Green Initiatives
type: item
description: This research examines communication between government entities and citizens within the context of smart government, where digital communication tools are utilized to effectively address citizens’ needs. The study particularly focuses on smart government from the perspective of two-way communication, emphasizing how reciprocal interaction between the government and citizens fosters transparency, trust, and collaborative problem-solving in the digital era. We employed netnography, a methodological approach rooted in online ethnography, to explore recent discourse between the government and citizens in the realm of smart government development, with particular focus on their daily interactions as key stakeholders. The study uncovers a dynamic landscape of reciprocal communication between government agencies and citizens, where social media platforms serve as the linchpin for information exchange, feedback mechanisms, and collaborative problem-solving. Community representatives in this communication ecosystem include local digital mass media, opinion leaders, and concerned individuals who advocate for more effective waste management practices as part of green initiatives within the city. Our findings demonstrate that social media enhances smart government–citizen communication, with local digital media amplifying citizens’ voices and opinion leaders acting as catalysts for information exchange. Social media also challenges the culture of conventional bureaucracy, which is hierarchical and characterized by tiered vertical communication. The netnographic analysis reveals digital collaborative efforts aimed at achieving more efficient and eco-friendly waste management strategies as one of the major urban problems. In this context, smart government refers to the wise management of alternative communication channels to address issues of high urgency.

type: item
description: The use of celebrity endorsers has become one of the Marketing Public Relations strategies to convince, persuade, and influence consumers by leveraging the popularity of public figures.

The Influence of Electronic Word of Mouth Communication Motivation on Sociolla App Review Columns Towards Gen Z Attitude
type: item
description: This study aims to investigate the influence of electronic word of mouth communication motivation on review columns within the Sociolla app on the attitude of Generation Z. Data collection and research for this thesis were conducted over a period of approximately 6 months. Research participants involved Generation Z aged 13-28 years (born between 1997 and 2012) who were active users of the Sociolla app and had engaged with its review section. The analysis technique used was quantitative explanatory with an online survey. The findings of this study suggest that eWOM communication motives in the Sociolla app's review section can increase the likelihood of a positive attitude by up to 12 times. However, the research also shows that in the absence of eWOM, an individual's attitude tends to be negative. The implications of this research are expected to serve as a basis for developing more effective promotional strategies for similar brands or e-commerce, as well as contributing to the research literature on the utilization of electronic word of mouth.

Representation of Men in Relationship Dynamics in Women’s Media
type: item
description: Digital media plays a pivotal role in shaping public perceptions of gender, especially in relationship-oriented content targeted at women. Articles in this category often evaluate male behavior, both positively and negatively affecting how women perceive relationship dynamics. This study explores the representation of men in Fimela.com’s relationship articles, one of the most visited sections on the platform. Using Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic approach, the research analyzes articles published between 2024-2025 to identify recurring patterns of male depiction. The results reveal five dominant representations: men as consistently present, unwilling to commit, in need of space, sources of conflict, and emotionally inexpressive. These portrayals tend to evoke concern in female readers and suggest predictive assumptions about male behavior in relationships. Such narratives reflect a postfeminist ideology in which female empowerment is prioritized, while male characters are often depicted in a critical or negative light. The study concludes that while these representations may support female autonomy, they risk reinforcing one-sided narratives and highlight the need for more balanced gender portrayals in digital relationship media.

Communication Privacy Management on the Use of Finstagram by Generation Z Professionals
type: item
description: This study explores how Generation Z professionals utilize Finstagram accounts as a strategy to manage communication privacy on social media. The research focuses on the application of Communication Privacy Management (CPM) theory to understand how individuals regulate personal information boundaries between their main (Rinsta) and secondary (finsta) Instagram accounts. The study employs a descriptive qualitative case study method, collecting data through in-depth interviews with two informants working in the creative industry who actively use dual Instagram accounts for different purposes. Observations and visual documentation from both accounts were also analyzed to enrich the data. Findings indicate that Finstagram serves as a backstage space where users can express themselves more freely without the pressure of maintaining a professional image. Informants intentionally control who can view their content, differentiate the types of posts shared, and construct distinct narratives on each account. These practices reflect the five core principles of CPM theory, including ownership of information, control, and boundary turbulence. This research highlights the growing importance of digital privacy awareness among young professionals. Using dual accounts proves to be an effective strategy for maintaining a balance between personal authenticity and professional identity in the highly public sphere of social media.

Representing Sexual Violence Trauma through the Character of Adil in Joko Anwar’s Film Siksa Kubur
type: item
description: Siksa Kubur (2024), directed by Joko Anwar, is a psychological horror film that delves into the trauma of childhood sexual abuse through the character of Adil, a survivor of sexual assault. This study analyzes how trauma is represented using John Fiske’s semiotic framework, which includes the levels of reality, representation, and ideology. Using a qualitative approach, the research finds that trauma is depicted through Adil’s physical responses such as vomiting, trembling, and emotional breakdowns. Visually, the film employs dark lighting, close-up shots, and long silences to emphasize psychological distress. At the ideological level, the film critiques patriarchal norms that silence male victims and uphold toxic masculinity, portraying how deeply rooted cultural narratives prevent men from expressing vulnerability. Adil’s prolonged suffering underscores the lasting effects of trauma when victims are denied the opportunity to speak out. Ultimately, Siksa Kubur provides a symbolic space for confronting hidden trauma, challenging dominant societal views about gender, victimhood, and the silencing of male survivors.

Representation of Women in the film “Women From Rote Island”
type: item
description: This study explores the representation of women in the film Women from Rote Island through John Fiske’s television semiotics framework. The film presents the struggles of women living in a patriarchal culture, facing sexual violence and social stigma within traditional Rote Island communities. The research adopts a qualitative descriptive method and applies semiotic analysis across three levels: reality, representation, and ideology. The focus of analysis includes the main female characters—Martha, Orpa, Bertha, and Oma. Findings indicate that the film depicts women in multiple dimensions: as victims of sexual trauma, as authoritative maternal figures, and as collective agents of social resistance. The narrative highlights a conflict between customary norms and women's pursuit of justice through formal legal systems. Scenes depicting rape, marginalization, and protest emphasize women's resistance against structural oppression. The representations align with radical feminist theory, which critiques entrenched gender-based power imbalances. This research contributes to the fields of communication, culture, and gender studies by demonstrating how film can function as a platform for social advocacy and a site for challenging patriarchal ideologies.

type: item
description: Identity crisis is a significant issue among Generation Z, who are in the midst of searching for self-identity and life purpose. Social expectations and the need for validation serve as core factors contributing to the emergence of identity crisis. As a form of mass communication, music videos have the potential to function as a medium of validation for such conditions. This study analyzes Generation Z’s reception of the identity crisis message in Billie Eilish’s music video What Was I Made For? using Stuart Hall’s reception analysis method to categorize audience interpretations. The findings indicate that the majority of informants adopt a dominant-hegemonic position, as the depiction of identity crisis characteristics in the video is interpreted affirmatively by each participant. The reception is influenced by various factors, including belief systems, family dynamics, occupational demands, and cultural background. These findings affirm that music videos can serve as an effective medium for articulating identity-related concerns among Generation Z, while simultaneously contributing to identity formation.

Representation of Sandwich Generation in the Film “Gampang Cuan”
type: item
description: This study aims to examine how the representation of the Sandwich Generation is portrayed in the film Gampang Cuan through John Fiske's semiotic approach. The film highlights the economic struggles of the main character who must support his younger siblings and his ailing mother, depicting the psychological and financial pressures typically faced by the sandwich generation. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, using John Fiske’s three levels of semiotic codes: the level of reality, the level of representation, and the level of ideology. The researcher analyzes scenes in the film that illustrate the dual burden carried by the main character (Sultan), as well as the characters Bilqis and Aji, who further depict the socioeconomic conditions of lower-middle-class families in Indonesia. The findings reveal that Gampang Cuan represents the sandwich generation as a group trapped in economic pressure and layered responsibilities, often forced to appear successful, make risky financial decisions, and sacrifice personal time. The film also presents moral dilemmas and family relationships through visual symbols such as costume, facial expressions, lighting, and cinematographic techniques. At the ideological level, the film reflects values of neoliberal capitalism, societal pressure on material achievement, and patriarchal cultural expectations of men as family providers.

type: item
description: On January 6, 2025, the Indonesian government launched the Free Nutritious Meal Program targeting students from early childhood education to senior high school, toddlers, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers in 190 locations across 26 provinces. Despite its wide coverage, the program has been criticized for its uneven implementation and lack of effectiveness. In response, on January 22, 2025, the official Instagram account of the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (@kemkomdigi) posted a Reels video featuring an apology and message of aspiration from President Prabowo Subianto. This action demonstrated the government's use of social media for Government Public Relations (GPR) to rebuild public trust. The Reel content generated varied public opinions—neutral, positive, and negative. This study aims to measure the views of @kemkomdigi's Instagram followers regarding the message of the Reels video evaluating the program. A descriptive quantitative method was employed, using an e-survey distributed to 100 randomly selected respondents. Opinion was assessed through dimensions of message content. The research adopts the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) model, public opinion theory, and GPR theory. Results show that followers held a positive view of the content, perceiving the message as relevant, accurate, valuable, easy to understand, accessible, and consistent in conveying positive communication.

Representation of the Male Protagonist Insecurity in the A Different Man Film
type: item
description: Insecurity is a feeling of unease, if ignored, can lead to severe depressive conditions. Indonesia is certainly not immune to this internal problem. Film as a mass medium can represent this complex psychological issue, as seen in the film A Different Man (2024). This research aims to study and understand the representation of insecurity in the film's male protagonist. A descriptive qualitative approach is used with the semiotic analysis method conceived by Roland Barthes. The analysis focuses on the denotation, connotation, and myths that appear in the film's key scenes. The research results show three main findings regarding the representation of insecurity in the film's protagonist. First, external transformation is not an effective solution for internal fragility, as a new persona fails to cover a wounded shadow. Second, insecure individuals have a comparative obsession and negative projections onto an "other" figure around them. Third, irrational and destructive behavior is depicted as an outlet for suppressed feelings of insecurity. Furthermore, this portrayal also interrogates the ideology of toxic masculinity present in the main character. This film effectively demonstrates masculinity myths regarding men. This shows the tragic consequences when a fragile man unleashes his insecurity in a very destructive and harmful manner.

Reception Analysis of the Sandwich Generation in Home Sweet Loan Film
type: item
description: The sandwich generation, particularly among Millennials and Generation Z, faces the dual burden of supporting both older and younger family members amidst rising economic pressures. This study explores how members of this generation interpret the representation of their lived experiences in the Indonesian feature film Home Sweet Loan. Using Stuart Hall’s reception analysis framework, the research investigates how four selected informants—aged 19 to 44 and experiencing sandwich generation conditions—decode the film’s message. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed qualitatively. Findings reveal that most participants occupied a dominant-hegemonic position, fully accepting the film’s portrayal of familial and financial struggles. One informant adopted a negotiated position, aligning with some elements while resisting others. The informants’ interpretations were shaped by their generational identity, educational background, and socio-economic experiences. This study contributes to the discourse on media reception in Indonesia by highlighting how film serves not only as a medium of entertainment, but also as a space for reflecting socio-cultural realities. It underscores the role of cinema in fostering empathy, awareness, and intergenerational dialogue.

type: item
description: The role of a brand ambassador is considered strategic, as it helps build an emotional connection between a brand and its consumers. The use of Korean celebrities as brand ambassadors has become common among Indonesian products due to the global popularity of Korean culture, known as the “Korean Wave.” This study aims to measure the effectiveness of NCT Dream as the brand ambassador of the TosTos snack product among non-Gen Z audiences using the VisCAP model, which includes four components: Visibility, Credibility, Attraction, and Power.

Representation of Generation Z women's Roles In The Film “Bolehkah Sekali Saja Ku Menangis”
type: item
description: This study analyzes the representation of Generation Z women in the film “Bolehkah Sekali Saja Ku Menangis” using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach. The film was chosen for its depiction of power dynamics within a patriarchal family and the emotional struggle of a young woman facing domestic violence. Set against the backdrop of ongoing gender inequality, the research highlights how Generation Z women raised in a digital and more progressive era are increasingly vocal and responsive to issues of equality. The study aims to explore how film, as a form of mass media, shapes public perceptions of women's roles and struggles. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the analysis focuses on denotative, connotative, and mythological meanings within key scenes. The character Tari emerges as a symbol of strength and resistance, expressing vulnerability while challenging patriarchal norms without completely abandoning familial values. The findings suggest that the film offers a counter-narrative to traditional portrayals of passive femininity, emphasizing young women's pursuit of mental health and gender justice. Ultimately, the study underlines the importance of media in representing evolving gender roles and fostering awareness about women's issues, particularly those faced by Generation Z in patriarchal societies.
