Finding the Next Successor: Visual Message in Caricature Image

Caricature is a form of visual communication wherein messages are conveyed through exaggerated and often humorous distortions of characters, serving as a critique of societal issues. Caricature often serves to critique various aspects of society, including social, cultural, economic, legal, and political conditions. Similarly, the political landscape surrounding the 2024 general election has intensified, fostering active and diverse discussions through both direct and indirect media channels. Mass media visualizes the very busy pros and cons of the Indonesian future successors. The proponents and the supported people are arguing and the one that can represent them will be the leader of government in 2024-2029. Funny, amusing, and intriguing caricature images in National Mass Media are interesting to study to see how the interpretation on the form of a caricature object is using the meaningful visual signs. This research was limited to caricature images by a cartoonist, Kang Yuyun, that was published in TEMPO National mass media in January-June 2023. The object of illustrative image was limited using a purposive sample that is considered representing the objective of research. The data mining was carried out through observation, interview, document, and literature. Observation was conducted directly in Tempo’s Office, Jakarta; interview was conducted online with the cartoonist; document included the caricature images that have been published on Sunday; and literature came from scientific works such as journal, proceeding, and books. All data were collected to be validated using triangulation and then analyzed using Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory about denotation, connotation, and myth. The findings reveal that Kang Yuyun’s caricature images in TEMPO mass media during the 2024 General Election depict three groups supporting Ganjar Pranowo, Prabowo Subianto, and Anis Bawesdan as potential successors, emphasizing unity in nation-building and promotion. Keywords: caricature, mass media, the successor, semiotics

The Politics of Electric Vehicle Subsidies in Indonesia: Actors, Agenda, and Issues

In light of the worldwide determination to address the consequences of climate change, the Indonesian government has established a goal of achieving carbon neutrality by the year 2060. The transportation sector in Indonesia is a significant source of carbon emissions due to its extensive reliance on fossil fuel consumption. In response to this challenge, the Indonesian government has implemented measures to expedite the motor vehicle electrification program by introducing a subsidy policy aimed at facilitating the public’s acquisition of electric vehicles. The formulation of this strategy initiated a sequence of discussions within the public domain. In order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the many actors involved and the process of discourse formation within the discussion, this study has undertaken the collection of 198 stakeholder statements as presented in articles published by national mass media outlets throughout the period spanning from January 2023 to June 2023. This statement mapped with the Discourse Coalition Framework (DCF) theory to find the network of discourse and ideas as the data that was subsequently subjected to analysis utilizing the Discourse Network Analysis. The findings of this study indicate that the discourse surrounding the subsidy program for electric vehicles gave rise to actor network groups that advocated investment and concerns related to environmental sustainability. The author examines the limitations to the interconnections between theoretical frameworks empirical evidence in shaping the discourse surrounding the dynamics of network politics in relation to electric vehicle subsidies in Indonesia.

The workshop covered serial presentations and simulations about digital literacy and peace education. As the final activities, the program not only involved 22 members of Karang Taruna, but also around 60 UBL students from various academic backgrounds and a national mass media journalist. The program results show a considerably high comprehension and determination of Karang Taruna members, not only to know about the issues discussed and shared but also to hone their skills. This achievement has become good news in setting the foundation for the continuation of the sustainable development program that would cover widened themes and be conducted through the implementation of a penta-helix bottom-up approach.

Вербальні ідентифікатори ворога: культуромовні й деестетизовані моделі

The article is devoted to the study of verbal identifiers of the enemy, their ranking in terms of normativity / abnormality of public communication is shown, and distinguished are stylistically neutral and stylistically colored language units. Described are the secondary nominations with negative connotations, as well as determining their communicative and pragmatic load. Achieving the goal was facilitated by the use of a descriptive method, methods of observation, contextual‑semantic and complex analysis. The corpus of the research material were national Ukrainian and regional mass media texts from 2022 to the beginning of 2023. It was found that during the specified time period, the linguistic identifiers of the invaders, which do not violate the canons of written forms of newspaper journalism, were activated. The secondary nominations are aimed at the expressiveness of language expression, the expression of contempt and hatred for one’s enemies and the creation of a specific communicative and pragmatic effect, which, although deaestheticizing the journalistic space, does reorganize the established media space, clearly reflecting the social perception of Ukrainians to the realities of the Russian‑Ukrainian war. The linguistic creativity of Ukrainian journalists expresses a combination of pathos and irony, usually employed to humiliate the Russian enemy.

Mass Media in the State Information Resources System of Ukraine

The purpose of the article is to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the issue related to the activities of domestic mass media as components of the State information resources of Ukraine, which together form the State information policy. Objectives of the article. The article is aimed at highlighting the problematic issue raised, which, due to the goal and objectives set out, will provide an opportunity to conduct a systematic analysis of the activities of the mass media as components of the State information resources of Ukraine. The presentation of the proposed material in the scientific article is aimed at solving the following tasks: − to outline the general approaches of the State information policy of Ukraine in the field of mass media; − to reflect the current state of activity of the national mass media with certain parallels with foreign analogues in the field of mass media; − to determine the range of problematic issues that currently exist in our country in the field of the information industry; − to formulate proposals for solving problematic aspects in the activities of the national mass media. Research methods. Given the purpose and objectives of the research, general scientific methods were used, in particular, systematic analysis and synthesis, which made it possible to comprehensively consider the issues raised. Some special methods were used, such as observation, description, comparison, modelling, etc., which served to specify the coverage of the problematic aspects of the national information policy and the place of the mass media, in particular the mass press, in it. The method of generalisation made it possible to systematically, consistently and reasonably formulate the conclusions of the research. It is determined that the methodological toolkit in shaping the foundations of the State information policy is the development of clear and transparent rules that are understandable to all subjects of public relations in building information interaction between the public and the authorities. Such communication can build a specific strategic goal aimed at promoting and establishing a democratic government with the development of a highly organized society as a subject of legal relations and at the same time a consumer of information services. The scientific novelty lies in the theoretical generalisation of the problems of the modern domestic state information policy, which is partially implemented through the mass media based on its priorities’ analysis, as well as the study of the essence and methods of organizing various forms of public communications. The author emphasizes that the mass media are a certain component of the general state policy of Ukraine as a well-coordinated, stable, well-organised activity of public authorities on a particular issue or set of tasks which it provides directly or indirectly, influencing the life of Ukrainian society. Conclusions. The conducted systematic analysis of the research problem allows us to formulate conclusions that the national information policy serves as a systemically formative element between the activities of the state and its government institutions, as well as society in the form of a public dialogue between the authorities through the media. The correct construction of the national information policy in general allows our state to successfully promote its information and political projects, providing competitive advantages over the projects of other political forces and actors involved in this social process. It is emphasised that the problems of various aspects of the activities faced by the domestic media significantly complicate their effective work. Specific ways of solving these problematic issues are proposed to raise the prestige of our country in the international arena with its entry into the global information space.

Effects of media campaign videos on stigma and attitudes towards treatment seeking for alcohol use disorder: a randomized controlled study

BackgroundAlcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is one of the most stigmatized diagnosis, and stigma imposes a major barrier to treatment seeking. There is a need to develop interventions that can reduce stigma and increase treatment seeking. Little is known about the effects of video materials. The aim of this study was to investigate effects of different videos. The primary outcome was public stigma, and secondary outcomes were: self-stigma, and motivation to change own alcohol use; talking to someone else about their alcohol use; seeking information about AUD treatment or seeking AUD treatment.MethodsThis is a three-armed double blind randomized controlled study. The study included 655 Danish adults. Data was collected at a study webpage, and the survey could be completed anywhere with Internet access. After informed consent and completing baseline measures, participants were randomized, 1:1:1 ratio, to a video (video 1 n = 228; video 2 n = 198; video 3 n = 229). Video 1 and 2 have been used in a national mass media campaign and video 3 was recorded for use in the present study. Immediately after exposure, follow-up measures were completed. Outcomes were analyzed with mixed effects linear regression.ResultsIn total n = 616 completed follow-up (video 1 n = 215; video 2 n = 192; video 3 n = 209). Randomization to video 1 and 3 decreased public stigma measured with “Difference, Disdain & Blame Scales”, while video 2 increased stigma. Video 2 compared to 1: 2.262 (95% CI 1.155; 3.369) p < 0.001. Video 3 compared to 1: -0.082 (95% CI -1.170; 1.006) p = 0.882. Video 3 compared to 2: -2.344 (95% CI -3.455; -1.233) p = 0.882. All videos reduced motivation to change own alcohol use. Participants with hazardous alcohol use, were more sensitive to the different videos, compared to low-risk alcohol use. Video 2 decreased motivation to seek information about treatment. No effects were seen on motivation to seek treatment, motivation to talk to someone else or self-stigma.ConclusionsVideos can have an immediate effect on level of public stigma. Other types of interventions are needed to increase motivation and reduce self-stigma. To avoid adverse effects in future interventions, the use of theoretical frameworks and stakeholder involvement is emphasized.

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.

How to save a life: Public awareness of a national mass media take home naloxone campaign, and effects of exposure to campaign components on overdose knowledge and responses.

BackgroundTake home naloxone (THN) programmes are effective at reducing opioid related mortality, but require high levels of distribution, including to the general public. Mass media campaigns can be effective in improving public understanding of a topic and encouraging behavior change. Whilst mass media campaigns focusing on naloxone have been developed internationally, there is a lack of research on their potential impact. We investigated the effects of components of a recent national mass media campaign (Scotland, UK) designed to improve public awareness of drug related deaths, and readiness to intervene. MethodsWe undertook a cross-sectional online experimental study with a randomized design, conducted with a nationally representative sample. Participants (N = 1551; 52.6% female; age 46.1±16.5 years) were assessed on overdose knowledge and readiness to intervene after presentation of eight combinations of campaign components. ResultsCompared to a basic campaign description, exposure to all types of campaign component were associated with higher overdose knowledge (p < .001), but not knowledge of what to do in response to an overdose (p = .374), or readiness to intervene (p= .286). The greatest effects were associated with a media rich audio-visual resource (animated video with a popular song on the soundtrack, and narrated by a well-known actor). ConclusionOur data suggest that harm reduction is an appropriate topic for large-scale mass media campaigns. However, effects may be limited to knowledge and awareness raising in the general public, and may be related to the types of media used. Audience segmentation is important and more general messaging about drug related deaths may be more appropriate for the majority of audiences.
