Audience consumption motives on online celebrity gossip account’s contents
Full text linkBackground: The presence of the Internet has introduced a more complex way within the process of disseminating various images and information about celebrities, including private celebrity information such as scandals, conflicts, and various aspects of personal life that previously could only be enjoyed in classic infotainment formats in the mass media. Purpose: This study analyzes the motives of the audience’s consumption process for the content produced by various celebrity gossip accounts in Indonesian cyberspace. This research aims to dig deeper into the audience’s motives when consuming this particular information about celebrities. Methods: This research was conducted using in-depth interviews with ten sources who regularly consume the content of online celebrity gossip accounts on social media. Results: The results show that three motives encourage audiences to consume celebrity gossip online: informational motives, entertainment motives, and social motives. The information motive refers to the interviewee’s perception that online celebrity gossip accounts provide a more detailed and exclusive source of information. The entertainment motive refers to the enjoyment of the audience when they are involved in ‘imaginary drama’ and heated debate between audiences in the comment section. Social motive refers to the value of celebrity gossip as a valuable resource to start conversations and maintain group cohesion among close friends. Conclusions: The public’s interest in consuming celebrity information, whether for informational, entertainment, or social reasons, indicates an unrelenting demand for information about celebrities which in turn encourages the proliferation of gossip-providing accounts on social media. Implications: This study itself serves as an initial stepping stone to open a more serious study on celebrity culture in Indonesia
Framing analysis of Anies Baswedan as an Indonesian presidential candidate in the sacrificial cow numbered 024 case
Full text linkBackground: The news coverage from Detik.com and Kompas.com regarding the sacrificial cow numbered 024, associated with Anies as a presidential candidate for 2024, presents an intriguing subject. These media outlets differ in their ideologies. Purpose: This study aims to examine the framing of Anies as a 2024 presidential candidate in the news coverage of Detik.com and Kompas.com during the Eid al-Adha moment in 2022. As each moment during a Political Year holds the potential to influence public opinion and impact the electability of political figures, understanding the framing strategies employed by the media is crucial. Method: This research utilizes a qualitative approach, analyzing ten news articles from Detik.com and two news articles from Kompas.com. The analysis includes an examination of titles, news content, and accompanying pictures or photos, employing Robert Mathew Entman’s framing analysis model. Results: Detik.com and Kompas.com adopt different perspectives in framing the news about Anies. Detik.com presents news in two directions, where some articles suggest that the existence of cow number 024 is merely coincidental, while others imply a connection between the incident and political issues. In contrast, Kompas.com employs a single form of framing, portraying it as a political symbol. Conclusion: It can be concluded that Kompas.com’s coverage is relatively limited and less accommodating compared to Detik.com. However, Kompas.com presents Anies’ reporting as a form of “political language,” positioning him as a potential “dark horse” in the 2024 Indonesian Presidential Election. Implications: This study sheds light on the construction of meaning and public opinion towards Anies, influenced by the news consumed by individuals. The media’s framing of Anies plays a significant role in shaping public perception and impacting public opinion regarding his candidacy
Exploring the impact of Instagram like visibility on self-confidence
Full text linkBackground: Instagram allegedly hid the number of likes due to its alleged negative effect. However, it now allows users to choose their visibility settings. Users can either hide or show the number of likes, which has become a conversation topic among users. Some users responded positively, while others had less favorable responses. Moreover, because they consider the “like” feature one of Instagram’s key differentiators, some users hide the number of likes while others continue to display them. Purpose: This study explores users’ choices in configuring Instagram-like settings and their underlying motivations. Additionally, the study also examines the role of Instagram-Likes in boosting self-confidence. Method: This research used a quantitative descriptive method involving 703 students from the Communication Science Study Program at Halu Oleo University, Indonesia. The sample consisted of 70 individuals aged 18 to 24. The data analysis used descriptive statistics to provide a general overview of each variable, displayed with a frequency chart. Researchers also used qualitative data for comparative purposes to enhance research results. Result: Most respondents chose to indicate the number of likes, categorizing their motives into neutral, positive, and negative categories. Instagram likes are a relatively insignificant aspect of life. On the positive side, they can offer benefits to users, such as validation and recognition. Conversely, flaunting one’s likes can be viewed as seeking validation or showing off. It is worth noting that some individuals who conceal the visibility of likes do so to safeguard their self-esteem and mental well-being. Another finding from this study is that Instagram-Like can strengthen their self-confidence. Conclusion: Instagram users have complete control over the Instagram-like options that allow them to hide their like count or not. Instagram-Like can increase self-confidence. The consideration of ‘likes’ as a manifestation of praise, appreciation, acceptance, admiration, and love from others is a prevailing sentiment among individuals. Implication: The researchers expect this research will provide new insights into using social media wisely for positive mental health

Full text linkThe network of fact-checking organizations has expanded widely, and these organizations are seen as one of the important elements in the efforts to tackle the spread of disinformation, misinformation, or hoax in the society. Although the number of fact-checking organizations in all parts of the world continue to increase, scholarly studies which tries to capture the presence of fact-checking practices in Global South Countries, including Indonesia are still limited.

The development of communication research in Indonesia in 2001-2020
Full text linkNo systematic review and/or meta-analysis has attempted to map the macro and comprehensive landscape conditions, developments, and trends of communication research in Indonesia in the past few decades. Therefore, it is challenging to measure the progress that Indonesian communication scholars have achieved.

The trend of increasing research using a quantitative approach was only a conversion from literature review articles widely published in the early 2000s. The Ministry of Communication and Information, Indonesia, in the second position, as the institution that contributes to the most authors of scientific articles after the Universitas Islam Bandung in the first place, and even surpassing Universitas Hasanuddin, Universitas Padjadjaran dan Universitas Diponegoro showing that the agency of state institutions is one of the active actors in communication knowledge production and reproduction in Indonesia. The increasing number of citations over the past two decades indicates that Indonesian scholars are experiencing enrichment of reference sources and interconnection with other scholars.
