Strategi Komunikasi dalam Menampilkan Citra Anak Muda pada Program Acara Talkshow

TalkCation is a talk show program in collaboration with local television station RBTV Yogyakarta and Yogyakarta Amikom University. This program carries an educational theme wrapped in a youth style so that it can compete with other television stations. The television industry is a dynamic industry, where creativity is the most important thing to make the programs attractive. For this reason, the existence of a creative team is a division that is the key to success in generating creative ideas in creating interesting programs, especially when television is starting to lose its prestige, especially among the younger generation. This is what underlies researchers to conduct research related to the communication strategy carried out by the creative team in packaging a local TV program by presenting the image of young people as the audience. Using the concept of elements and creative space by Rusman Latief and Yustiatie Utud, and examining the application of communication strategy theory to the preparation of creative team communication strategies, researchers conducted a study using a qualitative descriptive approach. The result of this research is that the communication strategy of the TalkCation creative team apparently applies the stages of the communication strategy in the Assify and French models. In addition, the image of young people shown in the program's packaging followed by collaboration between the creative team, the media team and public relations seems to have been effective in attracting the audience's interest in watching TalkCation programs.

Analysis of Different Types of Antenna for Television Network and Extracting C Band Channels

Television network is a system of transmitting and receiving television signals over a large area. Antenna is a device that converts electromagnetic waves into electric currents or vice versa. Antenna plays a crucial role in the performance and quality of television network. In this paper, we will analyze different types of antenna for television network, such as dipole antenna, yagi antenna, parabolic antenna and fractal antenna. We will compare their advantages and disadvantages, and suggest some criteria for choosing the best antenna for different scenarios. Dipole antenna is the simplest and most common type of antenna for television network. It consists of two metal rods or wires of equal length that are connected to a transmitter or receiver. Dipole antenna can receive signals from any direction in a horizontal plane, but has a low gain and a narrow bandwidth. Dipole antenna is suitable for local television stations or indoor applications. Yagi antenna is a directional antenna that consists of a dipole antenna and several parasitic elements, such as reflectors and directors. Yagi antenna can focus the signals in one direction and reject the signals from other directions, thus increasing the gain and reducing the interference. Yagi antenna has a moderate bandwidth and can be easily adjusted to different frequencies. Yagi antenna is suitable for long-distance television network or outdoor applications. Parabolic antenna is another directional antenna that consists of a parabolic reflector and a feed horn. Parabolic antenna can concentrate the signals into a narrow beam and achieve a high gain and a wide bandwidth. Parabolic antenna can also receive signals from satellites or other high-altitude sources. Parabolic antenna is suitable for satellite television network or high-definition television network. Fractal antenna is a novel type of antenna that uses fractal geometry to design its shape and structure. Fractal antenna can have multiple resonant frequencies and a large effective area, thus increasing the bandwidth and the efficiency. Fractal antenna can also have self-similarity and scalability, which means it can be miniaturized or enlarged without affecting its performance. Fractal antenna is suitable for digital television network or wireless communication network. In conclusion, different types of antenna have different characteristics and applications for television network. Depending on the factors such as distance, frequency, direction, interference, quality and cost, one can choose the best antenna for their specific needs

What's Local about Local Television News?

Because capturing and analyzing local television news broadcasts is difficult, most research on campaign ocverage by local television stations centers on a single candidate race and a limited number of news broadcasts. This article expands existing research by examining all prime time election coverage by Philadelphia's four network affiliates in the final 30 days of the 2004 campagin. These stations virtually abandoned coverage of local and statewied races in favor of the presidential contest. Most coverage focused on campaign stategy rather than issues, but there is little evidence of direct bias favoring either Democrats or Republicans. Although stations generally ignored nonpresidential elections, they gave a fair amount of coverage to the mechanics of voting, which may provide voters with valuable locally based election information.

MIGRASI MEDIA TELEVISI MAINSTREAM KE DIGITAL

Digital era has influenced most local television to retreat in media and also factors such as human resources and production financing are thing that hinder growth of local television in entering digital system. However, since the issuance of Law no. 32 of 2002 about Broadcasting, ownership of local television station in Indonesia is increasing. This law can be a rule as well as a protector for diversity of content and ownership of local television station in maintaining their existence. Local television existences have an important role in changing function of mainstream media, especially in raising local issues. The presence of local television expected to display regional culture, local event, or region identity, as well as live of surrounding public. Thus, local television can represent overall local cultural identity based on local wisdom while still existing with digital.

The Revolution Will Be Televised: The Italian Communist Party, Public Television Broadcasting and the ‘Free Television’ Experiment

It is a little-known fact that the Italian Communist Party invested vast financial resources in the establishment of a network of local television stations. By 1980, there were as many as twenty of these stations. This article examines how the PCI's ‘free television’ experiment developed within the context of private broadcasting in Italy, and why it was eventually abandoned. A discussion of some of the programmes produced by communist television stations, complemented by interviews with some of the experiment's protagonists, will frame the experience of communist broadcasting within the PCI's history and television policy.

Analysis Protection of the Right to Freedom of Religion in Prohibition of Worship at Al Aqsa Mosque by Israeli Police to Palestinians

Palestinian Muslims complied with the clerics' call for a boycott by not entering the Aqsa Mosque compound on 2017 instead of protesting outside the compound of the shrine. The action comes after Israel tightened security by installing metal detectors into the compound after an attack that killed two policemen. As a result of this boycott, the aqsa mosque complex is very quiet. There are very few tourists and visiting Jewish visitors. Meanwhile, Muslims choose to perform the Prayers and rally outside the Haram al-Sharif Complex which includes the Dome of and the Aqsa Mosque. Hundreds of pilgrims perform Dzuhur prayers outside the main gate to the complex. Meanwhile a number of protesters held a similar demo in the same location. They shouted concerns over Israeli policy. But the authorities immediately drove them away. According to reports received by foreign media, a number of Palestinians were injured in the clash. In the local Israeli television station broadcast show, riot police beat and kicked the protesters who were mostly Palestinian Muslims. Once closed, the Israeli authority’s re-open access to the Aqsa Mosque in 2017. However, visitors must go through a series of security checks, including metal detection. A number of surveillance cameras and guard posts are positioned at several access points within the Aqsa Mosque complex. Before the closing of the Aqsa Mosque caused the Palestinian Muslims to be forced to perform the Friday prayers on the streets outside Jarusalem's walls. It was the first time in 50 years, the Aqsa Mosque and all road access leads to the mosque is closed to the public. This study is Intended to analyze the prohibition of workship practices in Al Aqsa Mosque In the perspective of human rights and freedom of religion.

Discerning Fact From Fiction: An Assessment of Coronavirus-19 Misinformation Among Patients in Rural Michigan.

Coronavirus-19 misinformation poses a unique challenge for public health communication efforts. In rural communities, COVID-19 misinformation is not well studied. We investigate patients’ ability to discriminate COVID-19 fact from fiction from their news sources, as well as general COVID-19 knowledge, perceptions, public health practices, and their primary news sources in 258 adult patients at a primary health clinic in rural Michigan. Most of the population surveyed was able to correctly differentiate reliable COVID-19 public health information from fabricated information. However, only 55.4% of participants reported that they would be somewhat or extremely likely to get a COVID-19 vaccine. The most reported news source was mainstream broadcast television channels such as CBS and ABC. Our data support those older participants are better informed and more likely to practice safe public health practices than younger participants. Based on our data, we offer strategies for public health campaigns in rural communities, such as targeted interventions towards younger people and utilizing local television stations and community institutions to disseminate public health communications and health promotions. Public health interventions beyond education should be considered to mitigate the gap between COVID-19 knowledge and prevention behaviors. Future studies should investigate the role of health care providers in COVID-19 communication with patients, understanding hesitations toward COVID-19 vaccination, and communication strategies to best increase COVID-19 vaccine uptake in rural communities.

Public health framing in local media coverage of crashes involving pedestrians or bicyclists in Hawai‘i, 2019: A content analysis

Media coverage of traffic crashes involving people walking and bicycling tends to frame crashes as isolated events rather than as a public health problem that disproportionately affects vulnerable populations. This study assessed public health framing in local media coverage of traffic crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists in Hawai‘i. We systematically searched the websites of all major local news sources (newspapers and local television stations) to identify articles about Hawai‘i traffic crashes involving pedestrians/bicyclists that were published in 2019. Using content analysis, we extracted information on title and article attributes, crash details, language patterns, and public health framing elements. After screening 738 news articles for inclusion, 162 articles comprised the final sample. These articles reported on 164 crash events, representing 57 unique crash events. Most articles described the crashes factually as isolated events. Language patterns in article titles were non-agentive (77%) and focused on the pedestrian or bicyclist (77%) without mentioning the driver or vehicle (69%). When articles ascribed agents, vehicles (53%) were mentioned more often than drivers (13%). One-quarter of articles contained a counterfactual that subtly assigned responsibility for the crash to the person walking or bicycling. About 15% of articles described a traffic safety solution. These findings serve as a benchmark for local media coverage and can be used to inform state-level actions to improve local media reporting. Media coverage that considers the contextual and systematic factors contributing to the crash could better support local government policy change to protect pedestrians and bicyclists.

Social Media Competitive Analysis and Text Mining

As more Americans use Facebook as one of their primary sources of news consumption, television broadcasters have increasingly added this social media platform in their distribution strategies for program optimization and audience engagement. Within a local market, media outlets not only need to monitor and analyze their own social media content and online audience behavior but also their competitors to increase competitive advantage. This study proposes a social media competitive analysis framework with three aspects: social media utilization, social media content strategy, and social media news engagement. By applying the analytics framework, this study examines the dynamic Facebook competition among five local television stations within a designated market area (DMA) in the U.S. The results show two divergent social media deployment patterns among these five local television broadcasters. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed to help media organizations develop their own social media strategies and gain competitive advantages over their opponents.

Not on air, but Online: The Labor Conditions of the Digital Journalist in U.S. Local Television Newsrooms

As American news preferences shift from broadcast to digital platforms, corporate-owned local television stations have hired digital teams to keep a growing array of mobile, social, web, and over-the-top platforms updated with revenue-generating and audience-friendly information. Yet, these workers are currently missing from the labor literature. Therefore, this exploratory study uses a political economy framework with a labor focus to begin to understand the day-to-day working conditions of these employees. Interviews outline workload issues including long hours of multitasking and nearly-constant connectivity even when off the clock, sped-up production expectations with a commodified information focus, and limited worker protections. The findings here aim to provide a starting point for digital journalism labor studies moving forward.

Citizen Science in Sweden’s Stigmatized Neighborhoods

Based on the synthesis of outside versus inside perspectives, this paper weighs the positive attributes of the so-called deprived place against its negative media image. Applying the concept of territorial stigmatization, small-scale citizen science was conducted to gain a unique understanding of the Swedish neighborhood from within. With the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 11 in mind, this approach enables researchers to reach otherwise difficult to access young urban outcasts and probe the potential to overcome their community’s lack of political influence. An overlap between local media narratives and urban outcasts’ perceptions of “drug and crime” and “football and school” was revealed. Yet, this first-generation study also painted a somewhat different picture of the stigmatized neighborhood, supplying new insights about places that matter most for marginalized young males. In this Swedish case, their pictures revealed that the local corner market, football court and youth club act as an antidote for the effects of stigmatization. This Our Voice citizen science initiative proved to be a good measure of two communities’ abilities to withstand stigmatization, which is either tainted by false perceptions from the outside or weakened by crime from within. Finally, attempting to bypass structural discrimination, citizen scientists’ findings and researchers’ conclusions were made available to students, colleagues and guests at a poster presentation hosted by Mälardalen University and to concerned politicians from Eskilstuna City Hall as well as the broader public via a local Swedish television station.

A comparative study of local broadcasters' Twitter utilization in different market conditions

Although the importance of over-the-air broadcasting has gradually dwindled in the entire media market, no one cannot deny local broadcasters' significant contribution to serving informational needs in local communities (FCC, 1999). Regarding local television's Twitter use for promotion and branding, Greer and Ferguson (2011) examined Twitter sites of 488 local television stations in the U.S. to identify the relationship between stations' status and content of stations' Twitter sites. They found that most local television stations offer news stories but barely direct viewers to their actual on-air programming. In their other study (Ferguson and Greer, 2011), they analyzed 111 local radio stations' Twitter sites to understand how regional radio stations use their business. The previous studies successfully demonstrate how local broadcasters use Twitter, but they do not capture any differences among broadcasters with different conditions. This study empirically analyzes how local broadcasters from different conditions utilize Twitter to adapt to the digitalized interactive media environment. Local broadcasters' social media performance can differ because American local broadcast markets differ in market size (Designated Market Area) and funding system (commercial vs. public), and station ownership. Thus, the scope of this study is limited to two extreme cases for comparison's sake. For comparative analysis, this study will analyze two different local different broadcasters groups – one group from Nielsen's top 20 DMA and another group from the bottom 20 DMA. Local broadcasters' Tweets from two other groups are analyzed to address the differences in Twitter uses 1) between public and commercial stations, and 2) between high-resourced (top DMA) and low-resourced (bottom DMA) market. This study will implement two methods to investigate the local broadcasters' local service activities in social network platforms, Twitter. First, website research collects qualitative and quantitative information directly from the studied websites. The website research will delineate the local broadcasters' current social media adoption. Second, network analysis of Twitter networks conducts to describe the complex conversational interaction within the Twitter network. Network analysis (Hanneman & Riddle, 2005) is one way to visualize and analyze how social media networks are connected, how they interact, and which agent is most influential in networks. The open-source program NodeXL will be used for network analysis and visualization of study results among the social network analysis tools. As a result, this study will address whether local broadcasters, which is often considered a thing of the past, still can justify their existence in the age of fiber-optic broadband and app-based mobile-centered media environment.

Evaluation of Electromagnetic Radiation level in the Outdoor from Wireless Transmission Systems in Northern West Bank – Palestine

Exposure to electromagnetic fields is a major public concern due to the possible hazardous effects on health caused by exposure to these radiations. The aims of this study were to measure radiofrequency radiation levels from different wireless systems and to compare the results with the recommended limits by the World Health Organization (WHO) which should be less that 450 µw/cm2. The study was a cross-sectional study that was conducted in different cities and villages from the northern governorates in the West Bank; Jenin, Tulkarm, Nablus, Qalqilya, Tubas and Salfit. To measure the radiation levels ranging from 80 MHz to 2 GHz, a Portable Field Strength Meter with the suitable set of antennas was used. This frequency range covers the radiations from different sources as mobile phone base stations, local radio and television stations, mobile phones, Wireless Local Area Network, Bluetooth, wireless computer periphery and even microwave ovens. Points close to mobile phone base stations and local radio and television stations in addition to randomly selected points were included. The scanning process for each point was done twice and the higher reading was included in the analysis. The results were compared to the recommended limits of radiations by WHO. Also, a questionnaire was distributed to evaluate people knowledge and perception regarding radiations. A total of 2000 readings were obtained with a mean ± SD = 0.25 ± 0.214 µw/cm2. The highest reading was 1.91 µw/cm2. All the readings were below the limits of radiations recommended by the WHO. Most of the readings in the tested area 1184 (59.2%) were between 0.1 -0.45 µw/cm2 which are 1000- 4500 time less than the maximum allowed level (450 µw/cm2), 527 (26.35%) readings were &lt;0.1 µw/cm2, 271 (13.55%) reading were between 0.45-1 µw/cm2 and the rest 17 (0.85%) were &gt;1 µw/cm2 which were still 236-450 times less than the allowed WHO level. Regarding the questionnaire part, most of the participants use mobile phones frequently, they think radiations are dangerous and can cause cancer, they prefer not to have mobile base stations close to their living places. In this study, a scanning for all electromagnetic radiation sources caused by different sources of wireless communication systems showed theoretically no dangerous radiation levels and all the recorded levels were much lower than the recommended levels by the WHO. Most people feel afraid from radiations and think they are dangerous.

The effects of information technology and operation performance on service supply chain management practices with moderating effect of capital owners

The objective of this study is to analyze and review the influence of government regulations and information technology on the operational performance of local television stations in East Java with service supply chain management practices as the mediator variable and capital owner’s intervention as the moderator variable. The data of exploratory research was collected through questionnaires distributed to twenty-nine local televisions stations, selected through saturated sampling method from a population of local television stations in East Java, and was analyzed using structural equation modeling. The finding of this study reveals that government regulations and information technology significantly influence the operational performance of local television stations with service supply chain management (SCM) practices as the mediator variable, which means that better government regulations and better information technology are analogous with the importance for the improvement of local television stations operational performance. Capital owner intervention weakens service SCM practices on operating performance and has a direct and immediate effect on reducing the operational performance of local television stations. The practical implications of this study signify the understanding that service SCM practices is an important concept in enhancing the operational performance. Capital owner’s intervention weakens service SCM practices on operating performance of local television stations.
