State Financial Education on Instagram by Surakarta’s State Treasury Office: a Content Analysis
Full text linkEconomic uncertainty in the era of globalization requires the public to enhance their literacy regarding state finances. However, access to information about state finances remains limited, making the public vulnerable to fake news and misinformation. This study aims to examine the educational efforts of the Surakarta State Treasury Service Office (KPPN) through Instagram in promoting financial literacy. The findings may offer valuable insights for other institutions seeking to educate the public. An effective educational approach can improve public literacy and understanding of state finances. Using descriptive qualitative methods and content analysis, this study examined KPPN Surakarta’s Instagram posts during the third quarter of 2024. The content was categorized based on themes related to state financial education and analyzed in terms of visualization, captions, and hashtags. The results indicate that KPPN Surakarta has provided education on state finances via Instagram by incorporating credible sources, engaging visuals, informative captions, and relevant hashtags. In conclusion, the combination of source credibility, visualization, captions, and hashtags employed by KPPN Surakarta is effective in delivering financial education to the public. However, there is still room for improvement in fostering interaction with the audience
Social Media, the Contradiction of Journalism, and the Dilemmas of News Start-ups in Indonesia
No full textThis research focuses on the implications of social media adoption for journalistic practice among news start-ups in Surabaya and Jakarta. Within the framework of news-media logic analysis, technology (including social media) is assumed to amplify the classic contradiction between professional and commercial aspects of journalistic practice. This research explores the extent to which social media amplifies this contradiction and how journalists negotiate it in their daily professional practice. This research uses a qualitative-descriptive approach. The findings show paradoxical results. On the one hand, news start-up journalists try to negotiate the increasingly strong contradictions through the discipline of verification of sources or news material from social media. On the other hand, the monetisation of news content on social media creates new problems in a commercial and professional context, which triggers a stronger dependence on global social media platforms, reduces reader trust, and shifts readers' focus from important and quality news in the media to provocative and sensational commercial news on social media. This research serves as a ‘warning’ to the idealism of digital journalism, in which there is hope that it will be more democratic, transparent, participatory, improve the functioning of democracy, and give more voice to the voiceles
An Experimental Study of OTT–Influencer Effects and Cultural Moderation for Indonesia’s Culinary Nation Branding
No full textThis study compares OTT and influencer advertising across Malaysia and Russia and examines how cultural proximity shapes destination-marketing outcomes. A 2×2 between-subjects experiment (OTT vs. influencer × Malaysia vs. Russia) was conducted with online adult participants. The results show a significant main media effect on visit and purchase intention, as well as a Media × Culture interaction: influencer advertising performs better in Malaysia, whereas OTT performs better in Russia. Cultural proximity is positively associated with ad attitude, intention, and destination brand equity, and it also amplifies media effects. Practically, in markets similar to Malaysia, organizations should prioritize influencer-led strategies featuring culturally resonant creators. In markets similar to Russia, they should anchor reach and frequency through OTT, complemented by curated influencer activations. Overall, the findings clarify an operational bridge between nation-branding objectives, straightforward reach–frequency planning, and cultural proximity

Through a scholarly discourse, the study explores how AI technologies are transforming journalistic practices by influencing content creation and news delivery. Using a meta-analytic method to analyze data from independent studies on AI adoption in media journalism, the study assesses the potential benefits of AI, such as improved efficiency and enhanced news accuracy. At the same time, it highlights challenges, including ethical concerns, potential biases, and the evolving role of journalists within technology-driven industries. By examining both the positive and negative effects of AI, this study provides understanding of the complex relationship between AI and media journalism. The findings offer valuable insights for media professionals, researchers, and policymakers involved in shaping the future of news production and distribution.
TikTok as an Alternative Learning Space: The Phenomenon of Live Streaming Learning
No full textIn recent years, short-video platforms such as TikTok have rapidly grown beyond entertainment, increasingly being used as spaces for knowledge sharing and learning space. This trend raises questions about the phenomenon of using live streaming on TikTok as an informal learning space in Indonesia, with a case study of the @mbahgurumatematika account. Employing a study case method within an qualitative approach, the author observes patterns of content delivery, audience interaction, and the application of Vygotsky’s social constructivism theory, particularly the concepts of scaffolding and the zone of proximal development (ZPD). The findings indicate that a slow and structured teaching style enhances the understanding of mathematics, fosters the formation of a learning community, and facilitates collaborative interaction. The article concludes that TikTok can serve as a participatory alternative learning medium, although it cannot replace formal education
National Fiqh Discourse in the Digital Public Sphere: A Case Study of TVMu’s Dialektika Program
No full textThe discourse of national fiqh within Indonesia’s digital public sphere has become increasingly prominent with the rise of digital media, particularly as religious discussions intersect with issues of nationality, pluralism, and civic identity. This study examines how the concept of national fiqh is articulated through TVMu’s Dialektika program, which functions as a digital deliberative arena for Islamic communication. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research analyzes four selected episodes and incorporates insights from interviews with the editorial team, supported by NVivo-assisted coding (open, axial, and selective). The findings indicate several key dimensions: the strategic selection of credible communicators; message framing that emphasizes justice, pluralism, and the integration of Islamic principles with Pancasila; the use of multiplatform distribution through television, YouTube, and social media; a dual audience strategy addressing both Muhammadiyah members and the wider Muslim public; and a discursive shift from provocative narratives toward ethical deliberation. Overall, Dialektika functions as a moderate Islamic medium that not only delivers normative da'wah but also fosters an inclusive deliberative public sphere, reinforcing the relevance of national fiqh in sustaining social cohesion and shaping civic Islam. The novelty of this study lies in its integration of national fiqh discourse, digital media analysis, and deliberative public sphere theory while positioning the Lasswell model solely as a technical mapping framewor
Integrating Digital Media into Culturally Rooted Environmental Events to Promote Sustainable Lifestyle
No full textDeforestation remains one of Indonesia’s most pressing environmental challenges, driven primarily by plantation expansion, illegal logging, mining, and forest fires. Public awareness of deforestation risks is essential to support preventive efforts. Sedekah Hutan is a social campaign that combines environmental advocacy with cultural rituals, encouraging wider community participation. Although digital media offers significant potential to strengthen conservation education, its use in culturally rooted environmental campaigns often remains limited to event promotion. This study explores the current role of digital media in such campaigns and examines its potential for more transformative awareness-building. Utilizing participatory and dialogical communication and media ecology theories, this qualitative research draws on participatory observation, interviews, and document analysis. Despite the limited use of digital media, it was important in communicating messages of cultural identity and care for the environment, especially for younger audiences. The event text drew on cultural conditions for its success, but carry-over awareness was reliant on working with stakeholder, and being more strategic in our engagement via digital media. Academically, this study contributes to environmental communication scholarship by connecting digital strategies with local wisdom. Practically, it offers insights for educators and campaigners to utilize social media beyond promotion—as a meaningful tool for long-term environmental advocacy.
A Map of Nationalism Message on Twitter/X Users in Indonesia
Full text linkThis research was motivated by the global rise in social media usage, which has introduced and disseminated universal values. In Indonesia, nationalism is increasingly challenged by the influx of global information through platforms like social media. The study aims to map the production of nationalism-related messages posted by Twitter/X users in Indonesia. A mixed-methods approach—combining both quantitative and qualitative techniques—was employed to analyze how nationalism messages were produced. The analysis focused on public participation, particularly in relation to gender, the geographic location of tweets, sentiment and emotion analysis, as well as the most commonly used hashtags and keywords on August 17, 2024. The findings reveal that nationalism messages from Indonesian Twitter/X users are organically generated by the public, with the predominant theme being expressions of Independence Day congratulations. The most influential actor in the message network was the account @aingriwehuy. In conclusion, public participation in celebrating Indonesia’s Independence Day was evident across all regions of the country and involved both female and male users. The messages were largely characterized by positive emotions and sentiments.
