The Discourse Network Analysis of Rempang Eco City Policy in the Digital News Media
Full text linkThis study examines how Indonesia’s mainstream digital media—Kompas, DetikNews, and CNN Indonesia—constructed policy discourse on the Rempang Eco City development between January 2023 and May 2025. Employing Discourse Network Analysis (DNA), the research maps relational patterns among actors, concepts, and positions extracted from news articles, providing a dual analytical lens: structural and interpretive. The findings reveal two dominant discourse coalitions: one promoting economic development and investment legitimacy, and the other emphasizing human rights, environmental risks, and Indigenous resistance. These coalitions reflect discursive polarization within public debates on national strategic projects. Conceptually, the study contributes to Communication Policy Theory by situating media discourse as a site of symbolic governance, where policy legitimacy is negotiated through competing narratives. Methodologically, it demonstrates the utility of DNA in capturing actor alignments, discursive clusters, and coalition dynamics in fragmented media environments. The study underscores the critical role of digital news platforms not only as information intermediaries but as active agents shaping public perception and policy coherence. This research highlights the need for more communication-centered approaches in analyzing policy controversies and offers a replicable framework for mapping discursive power in development conflicts.
 
National Defense as an Instrument for Developing the Nationalist Mentality of Indonesian Navy Soldiers
Full text linkThis study examines the declining spirit of nationalism among Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) personnel in the context of globalization, which has gradually eroded national values. The purpose of this research is to analyze the role of National Defense (patriotic religious advocacy) as an instrument for fostering soldiers’ nationalist mentality. Using a library research method, data were collected from scholarly literature, books, journals, and relevant documents discussing da’wah, national defense, and nationalism within the military context. The findings indicate that da’wah, when framed within the concept of national defense, can effectively internalize nationalist values through an integrated religious and ideological approach. This study contributes theoretically to the development of value internalization studies within military institutions and emphasizes the importance of integrating da’wah programs into soldiers’ mental and character development systems. The study concludes that National Defense is not merely a spiritual activity but also a strategic effort to shape character and ideological loyalty among military personnel toward the nation and the state

Full text linkIn the ever-evolving digital era, regional languages in Indonesia are facing the threat of extinction due to modernization and globalization. This study aims to explore the role of digital journalism supported by artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing (NLP), and blockchain technology in preserving Nusantara languages.

This study confirms that the integration of digital journalism, NLP, and blockchain not only strengthens efforts to preserve regional languages, but also builds an ethical, transparent, and sustainable digital ecosystem. Collaboration between journalists, local communities, and technology developers is the key to success in ensuring that Nusantara languages remain alive and relevant in the modern era
