Digital media contribute to the formation of socio-political factors that raise concerns about the spread of disinformation, information disagreements and political polarization.Aim. To analyze the tools, problems and opportunities of political PR in the context of digitalization of the media space in foreign countries and the EAEU countries.Tasks. To give significant ideas about the concepts of “political public relations” and “political communication”; to identify factors influencing political communication processes; to present international experience in the application of political PR in the context of digitalization of media; to formulate the possibilities for the development of Eurasian integration in the context of digitalization of the media space.Methods. The methodological basis of the scientific research was such modern general scientific research methods as: comparative analysis, statistical and structural-logical methods, content analysis of open sources of information.Results. The paper defines the role and importance of digital media in political PR activities, identifies traditional and modern factors of influence on political activity, as well as problems in the new digital reality. To build political communications with the audience, its impact and increase engagement, political organizations use new media technologies using multimodality. In practice, the digital inequality of the world population deprives a number of people of digital communication, and as a result, the necessary conditions for participation in the political and economic life of the country. The digital divide of the EAEU countries reduces the political communicative impact on citizens’ beliefs in the need to strengthen integration processes. It seems appropriate to introduce consistency in the formation of the Eurasian integration agenda and a single digital information field to increase the political culture of civic engagement in all EAEU member states.Conclusions. With the help of variation of resources, the necessary content is formed to create the necessary audience effect. Indeed, digital media has a number of advantages that have been proven in practice, however, political PR is influenced by the negative side of the development of digital communications — the spread of fake news, most of which cannot be traced to the source. Therefore, the transformation of digital opportunities, the distribution of political resources, the dissemination of political discourse and the structure of political opportunities in the digital age is the most relevant in the modern world. Using the example of the EAEU countries, it is proved that digitalization in the international media space causes the involvement of citizens of different countries in integration, generalization and formation of public support for the state.

POLITICAL CONFLICT AND COMPROMISE IN THE JOB CREATION BILL DISCUSSION

Regulatory reform by amending various provisions in dozens of laws into a single Omnibus Law on Job Creation has been rejected because it is considered to eliminate protection for workers/labourers, and expand the dominance of employers. The wave of rejection continues to strengthen, raising questions about the process of political communication, conflict and negotiation, and political compromise between political forces in the DPR (Parliamentary Institutions). With a constructiveist paradigm and case study method, and supported by several theories from political science, political communication, negotiation theory, conflict theory, as well as several concepts regarding political compromise, the results showed that political communication in the discussion of the Job Creation Bill took place systematically by placing the authority of political parties as decision makers. Political conflict occurs due to inflexible negotiations. Political negotiations carried out through a principle-based negotiations approach, although it can accelerate the discussion process, is unable to guarantee the effectiveness of political compromise. The Job Creation Bill comes as an orthodox legal product and was declared unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court. Four things that become the findings of this research are (1) the dynamics of political communication are strongly influenced by the presidential-multiparty political system that produces majoritarian power, so that it has consequences for political alignments; (2) political conflicts that arise due to polarisation of political support have presented inflexible political communication, (3) principle-based political negotiations are pragmatically able to accelerate discussions but do not guarantee resistance/rejection by the public; and (4) political compromise through the stages of strategy development, relationship management, and decision making, cannot be a form of agreement that can accommodate all parties

Arena Komunikasi Politik di Indonesia: Bagaimana Masyarakat Sipil Menggunakan Media Baru sebagai Komunikasi Politik

This research seeks to explain the arena of political communication in Indonesia for civil society groups to use new media from 2010 to 2020. The context of this time shows the increasingly complex development of democracy and new media, including the presence of social media. The research was conducted using the case study method by exploring three cases of civil society groups, namely Remotivi, Combine Resource Institution, and Zero Kilometer Makassar. This study departs from the hypothesis that the use of new media by civil society groups can encourage a more democratic process of political communication. This study found that the presence of new media has not been able to encourage civil society to use the arena of political communication properly. Judging from the aspect of the arena, which consists of existence, regulation, relations, and public space, it turns out that it has not been able to encourage a democratic political communication process even though new media has been used in communication actions by civil society groups.This research seeks to explain the arena of political communication in Indonesia for civil society groups to use new media from 2010 to 2020.

Cute politics!: articulating the kawaii aesthetic, fandom and political participation

ABSTRACT This article explores the affective power of the kawaii (“cute” in Japanese) aesthetic in politics by drawing from the successful “cute” campaign in Taiwan’s vital presidential elections of 2000 and 2004. Based on field participation, interviews, and secondary sources, this study offers a historical-textual analysis of the ways in which cute aesthetics and fan participation alter the political communication process in postauthoritarian Taiwan. This study suggests that the prevalence of kawaii in protests and political campaigns, most salient in East and Southeast Asia today, indicates an ideological shift from masculine communication styles to an “effeminate” voice in politics. This study also exemplifies the significance of the “minor aesthetics” such as cute, zany, glamorous, and whimsical because they give voice to weak, silenced and marginalized groups. These minor aesthetic categories deserve the same level of serious attention that academics have given to the grand, the beautiful and the sublime.

Бұқаралық коммуникация құралдары тілінің өзгеріске түсу факторлары мен қазіргі даму үрдісі

The challenges surrounding determining the status and integrity of the language used in media are covered in this article. Modern linguistics describes and formulates contemporary solutions to this issue. We got to the conclusion that the speech of Internet users represents the dominant tendencies in communication in the modern world. The blending of genre and style lines, the demand for informality, and the ease of communication result in both the loss of some linguistic characteristics and the rise of new ones. Therefore, the focus is on the procedure for changing the language of media as well as the many causes of this shift. The characteristics of the mass media were also examined, and their functional traits were taken into account. Analysis is conducted on the novel features of new and conventional mass media, as well as the processes of mass political communication that have emerged as a result of the advancement of information and computer technology. The article discusses the variables influencing how language is used in the media today, the significance of text linguistics in this, and the issues with socioeconomic differentiation in society. An important area of study in the field of linguistics is the interaction of social and internal structural factors in language. As a result of the complexity of scientific and technological advancements that influence the communication life of society, it is noticed that current language life is growing more sophisticated and diverse. It was believed that locating this speech branch within the system of conventional functional styles is necessary for identifying the functional-stylistic approach to determining the primary characteristics of the mass media language. The article made original proposals and theoretical conclusions on this issue

Print Networks, Manuscript Pamphleteering, and the Development of Prison Politics in Seventeenth-Century London

AbstractThe 1622 publication of Imprisonment of Mens Bodies for Debt marked the beginning of a decades-long tradition of anti-carceral activism in London's prisons. By recovering prison activists’ practices of publication and republication, the article reveals a vibrant world of textual production in prisons that enabled political interventions grounded in the material and structural conditions of incarceration. Anti-carceral activism relied on the varied uses of print and manuscript that formed part of the day-to-day experience of incarceration. These local practices were combined with new processes of national political communication, from parliamentary petitioning and news printing in the 1620s, to manuscript pamphleteering and the demand for legal texts in the 1630s, and the explosion of radical printing and political agitation in the 1640s. Operating at the intersection of quotidian textual practice and developing forms of political communication, prison activism became engaged in wider currents of national debate. Thus, the article demonstrates how a relatively marginal social constituency could utilize these modes and networks of political communication across multiple media and how, in turn, such groups could both develop connections to radical political networks and come to imagine their cause as part of a wider political moment.

THE RUSSIAN SYSTEM OF CIVIL EDUCATION IN THE CONDITIONS OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATIONS AND NEW GEOPOLITICAL CHALLENGES

The current digital revolution has already led to a significant transformation of the content, methods, forms and intensity of civic participation in the socio-political life of almost all states of the world. Modern information and communication technologies have influenced the forms and mechanisms for the implementation of public policy in general, have transformed the process of political communication, creating a new virtual dimension of the public sphere. Obviously, the changes that have taken place require citizens to master new competencies that will allow them to effectively interact both with each other and with government institutions within the framework of a new social and political reality. Therefore, the problem of forming a new, civic competence is one of the key ones in the context of the current process of digitalization of politics and management. The relevance of the issues under study is determined, on the one hand, by the extraordinary acceleration of the pace of development and transformation of all spheres of society, which, in turn, dictates the need to create tools to speed up and simplify the process of adaptation, both for each specific individual and socially political institutions, to a rapidly changing reality, and on the other hand, the task of preserving and strengthening the existing political system of the Russian Federation and the foundations of the constitutional order, which is of particular importance in the context of ongoing information wars, the spread of fakes, including the activities of state authorities and state structures, global problems (such as turbulence in world politics, the COVID-19 pandemic, terrorism, climate change, lack of natural resources) and local (unemployment, separatism, poverty), as well as a number of other dangers and threats that continue to face modern states. This article is aimed at forming the conceptual foundations for optimizing the system of Russian civic education in the face of new challenges and risks. The authors pay special attention to the theoretical understanding of the «civic education» concept, identifying its features and functional characteristics. Based on a comparative approach, the authors analyze the scientific literature that touches upon the issues of civic participation, education, forms and methods of its improvement in modern conditions. In conclusion, the authors turn to concrete examples and formulate recommendations for the successful formation of a conceptual model for optimizing the Russian system of civic education.

The Viral Water Cooler: Talking About Political Satire Promotes Further Political Discussion

ABSTRACT Much effort has been devoted into understanding the participatory outcomes of political satire. Despite the increased impact of social media in disseminating political information online, however, researchers have not yet examined the potential role of social media in the relationship between political satire consumption and political communication processes. This study uses a three-wave panel survey to test the effects of both viewing political satire (intentionally) and incidental exposure (via shared content on social media) to political satire on political discussion, mediated by the viewers’ conversation about the content of political satire. This study also examines how Affinity for Political Humor (AFPH), specifically its social cohesion dimension, moderates those relationships. Results demonstrate that regardless of whether the exposure was incidental via social media or not, exposure to political satire increased political discussion, mediated by conversation about political satire. This indirect effect differed by individuals’ level of AFPH. These results indicate that viewing political satire, even when it is incidental, can make people more likely to talk about the content of the satire programs, which in turn can promote their political discussion in general. This effect was found to be more prominent among those who score high on AFPH.

Political Communication and Deliberative Democracy

Abstract The problem of political abstention of voters leaves democratic institutions without content. That is why the role of political communication in the context of the essential development of democracy is becoming very relevant today. We are interested in how deliberative communication, as a model of political communication, is connected with the mobilization of voters in political processes, which is how democracy is realized. The meaning of deliberatization is based on the idea of bringing stakeholders closer to a consensus through a free and equal dialogue of political communication in the communication community. In this way, a better legitimacy of political decisions is achieved. It is a process of discursive political communication that "creates and maintains" the actions of the government. The research question of our article was how scientific and professional theory look at the role of deliberative communication, as a model of political communication, in the process of political participation of political stakeholders in the communication community today. We assumed (the hypothesis) that scientific theory looks optimistically at the role of deliberative communication. In the article, we used the descriptive method and the method of analysing scientific and professional texts. We carried out the research with a review of domestic and foreign editions of professional books, monographic publications, original scientific articles, and research results. We obtained data using the Cobiss and Google Scholar databases. The results of the research showed that scientific theory views deliberative communication as a promising experiment and evolution in the realization of deliberative democracy..

OMNIBUS LAW CIPTA KERJA IN POLITICAL DISCOURSE AND PUBLIC OPINION

The government decided that the omnibus law technique was a new legal breakthrough as an option to accomodate various overlapping multi-sector regulations. Law 11 of 2020 is projected to accelerate economic growth and increase the nation’s competitiveness by opening up the widest possible space for facilitating the business and investment climate to face the competition in the digital ecosystem of the world economy and global governance.

The dilemma between the policy agenda and the public agenda then continous through the communication media. This study aims to reveal the phenomenon of public opinion about the omni bus law of job creation and public participation in determining public affairs with multi-sectoral dimensions. Public opinion in the public sphere shows of the process of political communication that occurs as well as interaction between the policy agenda and the public agenda. The theoritical paradigm of phenomenology and research is critical in constructing an analytical descriptive approach with qualitative methods used to determine the relationship between the policy agenda, media agenda, and public agenda with various influencing factors.

Cross-Cutting Affiliation in Regional Election in Indonesia

This paper aims to reveal how the political background colors the political communication process in winning Abu (Muhammadiyah) and Lilik (Muslimat Nahdatul Ulama) in the 2018 regional election in Kediri City. This research uses qualitative research methods with instrumental case study approach, and we use data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews and documentation. The results show that the different political backgrounds of the candidates actually create cross-cutting affiliations between Muhammadiyah and NU Muslim society in Kediri City to provide support for Abu and Lilik in the Kediri City regional election. This cross-cutting affiliation is not created naturally, but is determined by ‘Wong Tebangan’ as King Maker. Political lobbying by a ‘Gus’ attracted support from several NU kyai in Kediri City. Then, holding regular NU Muslimat recitations and stall forums became a means of maintaining the integrity of support for attacks from other candidates. Finally, the research also revealed how Javanese beliefs, modern political instruments, and religion are used in winning elections.
