Analysis of Pros and Cons of New Province Expansion in Papua

This study aims to examine the analysis of mass media coverage sentiment about the division of a new province in Papua. Using qualitative analysis with Q-DAS software, namely Nvivo 12Plus, this research collects data from online news and previous research related to the expansion of the Papua Province. The results show that there are pro and contra sentiments, where activists and citizens are more critical of it and reject it, while the government is more supportive of it. This analysis also uncovers various narratives in the media that highlight the potential benefits of regional expansion, such as development, better public services, and preserving local culture. However, there are also concerns about financial and economic inefficiencies and a lack of representation of indigenous people's voices. Relations between the different actors are complex, with decentralization principles governing interactions between the central government and the newly created local governments. This research emphasizes the need for a thorough evaluation, considering social, economic, political, and cultural impacts, and involving all relevant stakeholders in the decision-making process.

Deeper Down the Rabbit Hole: How Technology Conspiracy Beliefs Emerge and Foster a Conspiracy Mindset

Conspiracy theories are increasingly emerging as a threat to contemporary society. Prior research highlights the crucial role that information technology (IT) plays in accelerating the spread of these theories. However, mass media coverage suggests that the role of IT extends beyond mere dissemination as conspiracy theories often target the technology itself. In this research, we explore the prevalence of technology conspiracy beliefs—specifically, beliefs in technology-related conspiracy theories, the factors promoting these beliefs, and their consequences. Our findings reveal that technology conspiracy beliefs are widespread, affecting popular commercial technologies, such as Amazon Echo and Google Search Engine, as well as public technologies designed for societal well-being, such as contact tracing apps. Moreover, we demonstrate across four empirical studies that technology conspiracy beliefs reinforce a conspiracy mindset. This mindset is associated with a breakdown of social collaboration, constructive political discourse, and society’s ability to respond to crises. Given that these beliefs impede the adoption of beneficial technology and foster a harmful conspiracy mindset, they should be a primary concern for technology designers, managers, and policymakers. By identifying the perceptions of technology and its provider that promote these conspiracy beliefs, we provide initial insights into ways to mitigate their emergence.

Tingkat Penerapan Jurnalisme Lingkungan dalam Pemberitaan Isu Eksploitasi Kawasan Bentang Alam Karst (KBAK) Gunung Sewu di Media Daring Suara.com dan Harian Jogja (Analisis Isi Kuantitatif Pemberitaan Isu Eksploitasi Kawasan Bentang Alam Karst (KBAK) Gunu

The exploitation of the protected land of the Karst Landscape Conservation Area (KBAK) of Gunung Sewu for the construction of Raffi Ahmad's Bekizart Beach Club will have implications for the disruption of environmental sustainability and the well-being of the local community. Mass media coverage of conflicts in environmental management is closely related to the application of environmental journalism (Sudibyo, 2014). This research aims to determine the level of application of environmental journalism in online medias Suara.com and Harian Jogja in reporting on the construction of Bekizart Beach Club during the period of December 2023 to January 2024 based on four principles of environmental journalism by Sudibyo (2014): sustainability, biosentrics, environmental justice, and professionalism. The method used is quantitative content analysis by Kripendorff (2004). The results show that the level of application of the pro-sustainability principle in Suara.com is 70.84%, categorized as high, while in Harian Jogja, it is 26.67%, categorized as low. The application of the biosentrics principle in Suara.com is 56.25%, categorized as medium, while in Harian Jogja, it is 30%, categorized as low. The application of the environmental justice principle in Suara.com is 34.38%, categorized as low, while in Harian Jogja, it is 10%, categorized as very low. The application of the professionalism principle in Suara.com is 56.25%, categorized as medium, while in Harian Jogja, it is 40%, categorized as medium. Increasing supervision and journalists' understanding of the application of environmental journalism principles need to be done through training and the establishment of regulations regarding reporting on environmental issues in each mass media.

Penghindaran Pajak Dan Pencegahannya

Tax avoidance has become a global issue that is widely discussed in various countries in the world. Every year there is an estimated state loss of around Rp 69 trillion due to tax avoidance schemes in Indonesia. This research method uses a qualitative method, while the data collection technique is done by searching from various sources, be it through print or electronic mass media coverage. The results show that there are obstacles in the formulation of anti-tax avoidance rules in Indonesia, where the government is faced with taxpayers who are able to take advantage of existing tax provisions. In this regard, the government has attempted to prevent tax avoidance through the implementation of policies such as anti thin capitalization, CFC rule, transfer pricing, and anti treaty shopping. However, policies that fall into the SAAR category are considered not optimal. Therefore, the government can also consider GAAR instruments that are currently applied in various countries.

“This is Not a Slippery Slope” Versus “The Queer Sex Panic is Just Beginning”: Discourse About FOSTA-SESTA in Ideologically Diverse U.S. Mass media, 2017–2023

This research analyzes mass media coverage of The Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA) and Stop Enabling Online Sex Traffickers Act (SESTA), two landmark 2018 bills that changed how sexual content is moderated by internet service providers in the United States. Using critical discourse analysis, I compare the framing of 101 news stories about FOSTA-SESTA published in mainstream U.S. newspapers, feminist media, and LGBTQ magazines over the course of 7 years. Findings describe coverage of online sex work, online child sexual exploitation, and free speech concerns that preceded and followed the landmark ruling from 2017 to 2023. I show FOSTA-SESTA's progression as a topic of discourse during the 2020 presidential election and compare differences between coverage in ideologically diverse U.S. media. While mainstream news originally supported FOSTA-SESTA's efforts to restrict the tech industry and prevent online child sexual exploitation, alternative media tended to present skeptical arguments that supported sex workers and other marginalized communities. Journalism industry interventions are discussed.

"I Had to Know About It, I Had to Find It, I Had to Know How to Access it": Experiences of Access to Rehabilitation Services Among People Living with Long COVID.

The aim of this qualitative study is to understand the need for, access to, and quality of rehabilitation services for people living with Long COVID. Little is known about the experiences of people living with Long COVID accessing rehabilitation services. Therefore, we explored health concerns leading people living with Long COVID to seek help to address functional concerns and their experiences with accessing and participating in rehabilitation. Interpretive description guided exploration of participants' experiences with Long COVID rehabilitation in Alberta, Canada. Semi-structured interviews were completed with 56 participants recruited from: three publicly funded Long COVID clinics, a specialized private physiotherapy clinic, a telephone-based rehabilitation advice line, and a Workers' Compensation Board-funded Long COVID rehabilitation program. Recruitment through mass media coverage allowed us to include people who did not access rehabilitation services. Data analysis was informed by Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis. Four themes were identified: (1) the burden of searching for guidance to address challenges with functioning and disability; (2) supportive relationships promote engagement in rehabilitation; (3) conditions for participation in safe rehabilitation; and (4) looking forward - provision of appropriate interventions at the right time. Our findings highlight the experiences of accessing rehabilitation services for people living with Long COVID. Results suggest approaches to Long COVID rehabilitation should be accessible, multi-disciplinary, flexible, and person-centred.

RELASI MEDIA MASSA JELANG PEMILU 2024 ANTARA PEMERINTAH DAN MASYARAKAT

Talking about the relationship between the media and the political sphere is a dilemmatic relationship. This is due to the attitude of media reporting which is not completely neutral from political intervention or capital patronage. Of course, this is something paradoxical considering that the media is the fourth pillar of democracy after the trias politica. The media should act as a watchdog in power so that checks and balances are created in the country and society. The media's observation is related to its central function as social correlations which lead the public to translate the various realities of life-span and national into the consumption of good print and electronic information. So, the media here has power over public knowledge through text and image framing so that it becomes the main public reference in shaping their views on the way government works. Information is the key word that links media relations with politics through the formation of public opinion on the news. This study aims to explain and analyze the tendency of mass media coverage in the context of the 2024 Presidential Election. The research method used is Robert N. Entman's framing analysis. The Research has shown that with mass media relations in politics by looking at media neutrality mass can at least be detected through; Mass media in determining news sources; Media using column and page limitations, mass media will observe the urgency of someone or a candidate couple in the election; There's room and place settings that are fairly wide against the activities of someone or a candidate couple, like the announcement on the first page of a newspaper.

Communication Model for Promoting Historical Tourism in Kupang City

The expansion of transportation, communication, and infrastructure has accelerated the development of the tourism sector in Kupang City in recent years. However, not all sorts of tourism are successfully established, and historical tourism in Kupang City is one of them. This is ironic because, while technology has not yet made historical tourism a viable alternative for travelers, today's promotion should be simple and inexpensive. Even though the potential for tourist visits in Kupang City is fairly large, historical tourism promotion is the subject of this study due to a lack of advertising on this sort of tourist item. Therefore, the objectives of this research are to identify promotional activities and develop a communication model for promoting historic tourism in Kupang City. The case study technique was employed in this research, and the target informants were Penta Helix stakeholders in the tourism sector, they are the government, business people, communities, academics, and media. This study found that promotional activities at numerous historical tourism sites are still poorly managed. Furthermore, the underdevelopment of historical tourism is primarily due to a lack of political will on the part of leaders, the public's lack of historical information literacy, and a lack of mass media coverage, including ineffective use of social media. The model established in this study is a promotion communication model that includes the role of all stakeholders with a focus on historical tourist assets, messages, and media.

Analysis of Indonesia’s National Food Estate Programme from a Food Sovereignty-based Perspective

This study examines the food estate “strategic national programme” implemented by the Indonesian national government in two regions: Humbang Hasundutan Regency in North Sumatra and Gunung Mas Regency in Central Kalimantan. Using a qualitative research method by examining previous research work on the concept of food sovereignty and food security, and by studying mass media coverage regarding the national food estate programme, this study aims to scrutinise Indonesia’s national food estate programme through a critical lens based on the ideas of food sovereignty as expounded in the 2007 Declaration of Nyéléni and examines whether the national food estate programme was designed and executed in line with the principles of food sovereignty as outlined in the Declaration. This study finds that the Indonesian government did not take into consideration the principles and practices of food sovereignty as outlined in the Declaration of Nyéléni, instead primarily relying on a conventional use of the food security approach in the execution of the national food estate programme in Humbang Hasundutan and Gunung Mas regencies, with significant consequences such as environmental degradation, economic impacts, and sociocultural and political disruptions felt by local producers and indigenous communities in regions affected by the national food estate programme.

Media and Politics of Representation: A Critical Decolonial Analysis of the Protests Against Addis Ababa’s Integrated Master Plan

ABSTRACT This study explores both the coloniality of knowledge and politics of representation and the dominant political ideologies manifested within the Ethiopian Brodcasting Corporation (EBC). It also deepens media coverage of protests by interrogating how the media in Ethiopia construct knowledge and negotiate politics of representation in every aspect of the political scene. The study employed an exploratory case study research design through the lens of decolonial epistemic theory to scrutinise the mass media coverage of protests deployed in the EBC. This study mainly discusses the colonial matrix of power, dominant discourses and their ideologies in EBC regarding protest representation against Addis Ababa’s Integrated Master Plan (AAIMP). The study extends its argument to how decolonisation occurs in the struggle for economic control through the land-grabbing political system of the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) government of Ethiopia. The study’s central argument regards AAIMP’s goal to annex the neighbouring Oromia regions, proposed in 2014. Through this colonial matrix, as emphasised by the work of Tlostanova and Mignolo, the study elaborates on how the government imposes restrictions on the media representation of protests and how and why the media partially or fully ignore or distort the coverage of social movements.

Website profile development for digitalization of grass jelly based MSMEs

Technology has developed vastly through digitalization for every business sector, e.g., Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME), in developing website profiling as sources of information and advertisement. Kampung Cincau is a village located in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia which produces grass jelly (cincau) and has been known through mass media coverage.

ANALISIS FRAMING TENTANG PEMBERITAAN PEMINDAHAN IBU KOTA NEGARA PADA MEDIA ONLINE REPUBLIKA.CO.ID DAN KOMPAS.COM

Discussions on moving the State Capital (IKN) in early 2019 became one of the hot topics in the country and media attention in Indonesia. Framing is the framing of information used by a media. The selection of the news portals Republika.co.id and Kompas.com is not without reason. kompas.com occupies the 9th position and Republika.co.id occupies the 34th position, included in the category of the top 50 sites in Indonesia. This research intends to identify the framing of national mass media coverage of the decision to move the State Capital (IKN) to Kalimantan. This research is a type of qualitative descriptive research, using the Zhongdang Pan and Gerald M. Kosicki framing analysis model which has four analytical tools, namely syntax, script, thematic, and rhetorical. Data collection techniques in this research use techniques through primary data and secondary data. This research was conducted through observing online news texts on the media Republika.co.id and kompas.com by selecting 5 stories in each media for the period March to April 2022. Based on the data that has been found from 5 news stories in both media, there are each one news that does not meet the elements of completeness of the news. The comparison of framing in the information that sticks out by Republika.co.id and kompas.com is most often seen in the way the facts are presented and the selection of sources. The results of this study show that Republika.co.id constructs more of a government figure in following up on issues in the process of transferring IKN.

Contested Actors around the Initiation of a Non-Judicial Settlement Mechanism for Past Gross Human Rights Violations: A Socio-Legal Study of the PPHAM Team

The PPHAM Team (Non-Judicial Resolution of Past Gross Human Rights Violations) was initiated by the Jokowi-Ma'ruf administration as an alternative settlement mechanism for Past Gross Violations of Human Rights through the issuance of Presidential Decree Number 17/2022 (Keppres 17/2022). From this context, the establishment of the policy was criticized and rejected by civil society organizations (CSOs) and the Victims. This was because the PPHAM Team was deemed a measure of State responsibility “hand-washing” and an indication of impunity preservation. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the contestation of actor interests among the State, Victims, CSOs, and others, by emphasizing the theoretical framework of transitional justice. This was a socio-legal study coupled with a qualitative approach, where data were obtained through interviews and observation of mass media coverage. The results argued that the initiation of the PPHAM Team was only beneficial to the interests of the State and did not completely address the preferences of the Victims on accountability and truth.

Whereas republika.com and mediaindonesia.com tend to use straightforward and simple language. Kompas.com and jawapos.com lead opinions to think critically with data while republika.com and mediaindonesia.com leads the public to see the implementation of Indonesia's and China economic cooperation programs in the BRI project.

ANALYSIS OF EXCLUSION AND INCLUSION IN THE MYSTERY NEWS OF BRIGADIER JOSUA'S DEATH, NEW FACTS REVEALED, BHARADA E ADMITS BEING ORDERED TO KILL BASED ON THEO VAN LEEUWEN'S MODEL

Today's phenomena or events regarding ideology, politics, economy, society, culture, and law can easily be known through print or electronic mass media coverage. The objectives of this research are: 1) to determine who is marginalized by the Bangka pos.com mass media in their coverage of the Mystery of Brigadier Josua's death, New Facts: Bharada E Admits to Being Ordered to Kill, and 2) to analyze the language strategies used based on Theo Van Leeuwen's Critical Discourse Analysis model. The research method employed in this study is descriptive. The research objects are news texts regarding the murder of Brigadier Josua in online mass media outlets, specifically Bangka pos.com on August 8, 2022, and epanrita.net on Monday, August 8, 2022. The findings of the two news articles indicate that the content of the Bangka pos.com news marginalizes Bharada E as the murderer of Brigadier Josua. The content of the news article on epanrita.net on August 8, 2022, titled "Revealed! Bharada E's Confession: Ordered by Superiors to Kill Brigadier J," marginalizes Bharada E as well but introduces another actor that suggests Bharada E is no better than Brigadier Ricky Rizal. Based on the data above, it can be concluded that discourse operates to define something, legitimize something, and blame others. Keywords: exclusion, inclusion, Theo Van Leeuwen's model

The Blurry Portrait of Drug Abuse and Illicit Drug Trafficking in Indonesian Prisons

The problem of drug abuse and trafficking in prisons is a phenomenon that often occurs in prisons. Indonesia is one of the countries experiencing prison overcrowding with most of the prison population being drug abuse cases. This research uses the literature study method by tracing journals, mass media coverage and other related literature. The results of the search stated that the phenomenon of drug abuse and trafficking in prisons is often reported. The existing news is an iceberg phenomenon. Therefore, the imprisonment policy for drug cases, especially drug abusers, needs to be considered because it does not have a deterrent effect. On the contrary, they can develop from abusers to dealers. A health approach for drug abusers should be considered.

Decreased community-acquired pneumonia coincided with rising awareness of precautions before governmental containment policy in Japan.

The effectiveness of population-wide compliance to personal precautions (mask-wearing and hand hygiene) in preventing community-acquired pneumonia has been unknown. In Japan, different types of nonpharmaceutical interventions from personal precautions to containment and closure policies (CACPs, e.g. stay-at-home requests) were sequentially introduced from late January to April 2020, allowing for separate analysis of the effects of personal precautions from other more stringent interventions. We quantified the reduction in community-acquired pneumonia hospitalizations and deaths and assessed if it coincided with the timing of increased public awareness of personal precautions before CACPs were implemented. A quasi-experimental interrupted time-series design was applied to non-COVID-19 pneumonia hospitalization and 30-day death data from April 2015 to August 2020 across Japan to identify any trend changes between February and April 2020. We also performed a comparative analysis of pyelonephritis and biliary tract infections to account for possible changes in the baseline medical attendance. These trend changes were then compared with multiple indicators of public awareness and behaviors related to personal precautions, including keyword usage in mass media coverage and sales of masks and hand hygiene products. Hospitalizations and 30-day deaths from non-COVID-19 pneumonia dropped by 24.3% (95% CI 14.8-32.8) and 16.1% (5.5-25.5), respectively, in February 2020, before the implementation of CACPs, whereas pyelonephritis and biliary tract infections did not suggest a detectable change. These changes coincided with increases in indicators related to personal precautions rather than those related to contact behavior changes. Community-acquired pneumonia could be reduced by population-wide compliance to moderate precautionary measures.

Implementation of Extension Journalism in Cyber Media as a Communication Channel for Sustainable Development

Use Ideally the national press supports the government through counselling-oriented journalism as a form of development communication. The concept of counselling journalism reflects the success of the "newspaper through the village" (Koran Masuk Desa) program in the 1980s as a form of press participation in development the impact was development are directed and economic stability. Replicating the development press concept in counselling journalism is crucial because currently the dissemination of information and mass media coverage in Indonesia is dominated by infotainment and fake news or viral issues that cannot be accounted for. While on the other hand the Government must continue to developed the society. Objective: The research produces a conceptual design or model of counselling journalism that will be adopted and applied in the mass media. Methods: The research was conducted using a qualitative approach with a constructivist paradigm. The choice of case study method is based on a limited and significant unit of analysis, namely HarianPelita.id, which is a cyber media product of media convergence of one of the KMD. Results: The concept of counselling journalism can be categorized as news which is 1. educative and innovative, 2. inspiring and evocative, 3. literary, 4. influencing
