Uncertainty Reduction Strategies on Share in Jar Skincare’s Purchase Intention
Full text linkShare-in-jar skincare products come up with a relatively high level of uncertainty as sales are commonly only made online, thus making it impossible for consumers to ascertain the product’s quality and suitability. Indonesians, on the other hand, are said to have a low uncertainty avoidance, which tends to be more tolerant of uncertainty and is supposed to be less active in seeking information to reduce uncertainty. This study aims to analyse the effect of uncertainty reduction strategies on the purchase intention of share-in-jar skincare products on marketplaces and social networking sites (SNS) in Indonesia. This study used an explanatory quantitative approach with a survey method. It involved 395 Indonesian consumers who had searched for information about share-in-jar skincare products through marketplaces or SNS. The multiple linear regression analysis revealed that Indonesian consumers had a low level of uncertainty avoidance but actively sought information before purchasing products. The passive, active, and interactive strategies simultaneously affected the intention to buy share-in-jar skincare products, but the active strategy had no effect when tested partially. The passive strategy was the most influential uncertainty reduction strategy toward the purchase intention of share-in-jar skincare products
Adaptive Risk Communication System and Policy for Health Crisis in Indonesia
Full text linkThree years since its first appearance at the end of 2019, until now, Covid-19 still exists. Realizing that the handling of Covid-19 cannot be carried out alone, the Indonesian government is trying to involve various parties to provide the public with an understanding of the risks. Considering that Covid-19 is still around, efforts to reflect on the risk communication system and the various risk policies adopted are necessary as a preventive action to anticipate various potential risks and health crises in the future. This research is qualitative with a case study type. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with the Covid-19 handling committee in Indonesia (KPC PEN), observation, and literature study. The results of this study indicate that in building a risk communication system, the government cooperates with various parties. The communication system and risk policies implemented by the Indonesian government are not optimal in understanding risks to the public. Efforts are needed to conduct regular evaluations and monitoring to optimize communication systems and risk policies in anticipation of future health crises

Robert Entman’s Framing Analysis: Female Representation in 2024 Presidential Candidates on Republika.com and Sindonews.com
Full text linkWomen’s participation in the presidential election is still low, and they rarely appear in surveys and news as candidates for the 2024 Presidential election. Women are often considered more suitable to lead in the domestic sphere and less suitable for the public sphere. The role of the media in shaping people’s views on women in politics is crucial. This study uses a qualitative approach and Robert M. Entman’s framing analysis to examine news from Republika.com and Sindonews.com related to the presence of female candidates as 2024 Indonesian presidential candidates. The results showed that Sindonews.com tends to highlight the existence of female candidates positively but too narrowly focuses on gender aspects and stereotypical views of women as vice presidential candidates. Meanwhile, news from Republika.com focuses more on analyzing electability factors and political party support for female candidates, presenting a positive view of women as alternative presidential candidates. The role of the media in constructing reality must positively impact increasing women’s representation in Indonesian politics. However, the media must also be able to avoid bias and present objective and consistent information

Full text linkAgenda-setting studies continue to experience an evolutionary process. It goes beyond its initial assumption, which is the transfer of meaning from the media agenda to the public agenda, and expands to experience replication. Recent literature studies regarding the mapping of agenda-setting studies have not been carried out much. Therefore, this study aims to find trends in agenda setting research in the global scope based on agenda setting data from 2014 to 2022. Trends in the global scope are interesting to study to see agenda-setting studies today. This study uses the Bibliometric Analysis and a thematic theme analysis approaches. The research show that politics-related topics have dominated over the last eight years. The use of network agenda-setting (NAS) and agenda-setting intermedia (IAS) theory, content analysis and survey, and Twitter are essentials part of this study. The entire development of digital media is slowly leaving conventional media. Therefore, future studies, in the presence of a variety of media platforms, need to design alternative models and methodologies that can explain the power of influence of each media in shaping the agenda-setting effect
Communication Network on Social Capital Relations of Salt Production Workers
Full text linkStatistically, the production of people’s salt is still the most abundant national-scale salt production in Indonesia. Madura Island, the largest salt-producing island in Indonesia, also contributes the largest labor force in Indonesia. This shows that the potential for workers in Madura is still very significant. Therefore, this research aims to see the communication network of salt production workers in Madura. This study uses a descriptive quantitative method with a communication network analysis approach. The study shows that the mapping of social capital relations in people’s salt production can be seen from three relationships: bonding, bridging, and linking. In bonding relations, where the internal labor is still dominated by a few people, the hubs or links in the sociogram are seen to be centered on only one point. Meanwhile, the bridging relation is evenly distributed. This shows the opportunity for workers to strengthen their bias capacity with a demonstration plot mechanism and learn from others in need outside their community. Moreover, in the linking relationship, there is a wide gap in the community

Between Human and Virtual Idol: Fans Reception Analysis of Digital Alter Ego Concept
Full text linkThe emergence of K-pop idol group Aespa has changed the landscape of K-pop fan culture since the group introduced the concept of a digital alter ego in the form of digital “ae” members. This research aims to understand how Indonesian fans construct the meanings of the digital alter ego concept carried by Aespa. This research is conducted by the reception analysis method. Informants consisted of four Aespa’s fans, each with distinct experience as K-pop fans. The main findings in this research revolve around the different reading positions held by informants, as affected by the distinct framework of knowledge, relations of consumption, and technical infrastructure surrounding their cultural practices as K-pop fans. Aespa’s digital alter ego could be seen in three ways: as another version of the self, a dishonest self-representation, and a polished version of the self. Through these differences, it can be concluded that fans’ construction of meanings cannot be reviewed through a deterministic approach but through a socio-cultural approach instead
