This study uses a political economy approach and in particular will focus on one aspect of the political economy in Vincent Mosco's perspective, spatialization. The findings of the study found that the two game developers in Yogyakarta had different characteristics, both resources, to ways to gain profits. This difference determines each developer to expand their business. Where, PT GIT Solution expanded its business by forming GIT ALLIANCE, while Noobzilla expanded its business by creating products (games) that were easier to port. The role of government in the game industry nationally and locally can be seen from the role of BEKRAF, and JDV.

Danmei, the Chinese version of Boys Love, denotes a literature genre featuring male-male romantic/homoerotic relationships produced for and consumed by women. The history of danmei can be traced to imperial China when male homosexuality involving feminine elements was embraced by elite culture. Currently, a prodigious amount of danmei narratives are characterised by femininisation of uke and even seme protagonists, embodied by characters’ epicene appearance, effeminate manners, transvestism and male pregnancy. Femininisation in danmei, however, is discrepant from fangirls’ act of nisu that depicts male idols as girls. The rationale for femininisation in danmei is partially attributed to female writers’ (un)intentional deviation from partner preferences of homosexual males, impinged on by the prevailing aesthetic trend of ‘soft masculinity’ and readers’ taste. More significantly, femininising male characters enables danmei creators to manipulate traditional gender roles and intensify the female gaze. Potentially, femininisation is the result of the increasing attention and readership of danmei. To cite this article (7^th APA style): Shahid, S. E. (2021).

In an era of increasingly fierce competition coupled with the emergence of various kinds of information sources, producers must be able to build good marketing communication to promote their products so the quality and the uniqueness of the product can be known by consumers. One of the promotional tools that can be used is experiential marketing which has 5 types of experience, sense, feel, think, act and relate called SEMs (Strategic Experience Modules) ). This study aims to look at the effect of experiential marketing on the purchase intention of IKEA products. The population is consumers who have visited the IKEA store and are over 22 years old. A sample of 100 people was obtained by purposive sampling. Using multiple regression analysis the results showed that sense and act influence significantly on purchase intention, and the influence of sense is greater than the act. However, independent variables all together affect purchase intention. The ability of independent variables to explain variations in purchase intention is very low. Therefore other additional independent variables are needed in further research. To cite this article (7^th APA style): Rosady, N., Suharyanti, & Anitawati, M. Th. (2019).

This article exposes how the Indonesian Ketofastosis (KF) community through the Facebook group expresses a healthy lifestyle, cultural practices online, views, and social movements related to the Covid-9 pandemic. Using the netnographic method, we found three main points that stand out in the community: 1) efforts to legitimize lifestyle, 2) sharing and caring practices, 3) social responsibility. Health issues related to Covid-19, such as 'Covid-19 victims mostly have high blood sugar history' or 'Ketoers are more immune than non-Ketoers,' becoming a "logical anchor" for some community members to strengthen their reasons for choosing the KF lifestyle. Several members also shared their experiences of living a healthy lifestyle in the face of the pandemic. Furthermore, administrators and several other members were motivated to carry out social activities by assisting frontline health workers who treat Covid-19 patients. It confirms that the Indonesian KF community has a sense of community as well as social responsibility. This study helps understand the micro-social phenomena associated with a pandemic outbreak.

The news of the coronavirus or Covid-19 has become a hot topic of discussion in the last few months. This article investigates the student's reception of the Corona Virus Alert segment broadcasted through the CNN Indonesia news program, "Good Morning." Using Stuart Hall's reception studies model, we conducted in-depth interviews with five students who watched Covid-19 news intensively on "Good Morning," CNN Indonesia. We found that students decode differently the meaning of messages conveyed by the information. Some coded the story in a hegemonic or dominant position --it means they agree with what and how the media frame the events and phenomena. On the other hand, some interpreted the meaning conveyed through the news with a different perspective, indicating they are in the oppositional position. They criticized the media for providing inaccurate, even factual, information. This study is vital in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic information storm conveyed by both the media and the public. It becomes a reference for how the audience can interpret news differently and can share their interpretations with the community according to what they receive.

The Covid-19 pandemic has made learning switch from face-to-face to online. This situation makes it possible for teachers and students to interact still and discuss online, using existing internet applications such as Whatsapp groups, Instagram lives, Zoom meetings, Google meet, and others. This study explores student interactions during online learning and describes how students feel while studying from home, especially in the rural milieu. Using a phenomenological approach, the researcher describes the phenomenon and reality from the subject's experience. The results showed that most elementary school students used their parents' cellphones so that social interaction between them was still intertwined. This nuance differs from junior and senior high school students who, on average, already have their device facilities, so they are not too dependent on their parents. The impact of this independence is the low level of social interaction between junior and senior high school students and their parents. However, the senior high school students stated that they tend to learn how to use social media to sell goods and connect with other people from different cultures. Socially, they also have new friends due to connecting with social media, even though, in reality, they are living in the countryside, with all its limitations.

Digital media development makes easier for everyone to share information. One of the visible characteristics is the change of audience role to be more active in the convergence era. At this point, hoax comes, such as vaccine danger which massively spreads in 2017-2018. The hoax case content is about kinds of concern, such as health clinical sense, work of digital media, to religious dogma. The article studies the vaccine danger polemic in 2017-2018, from the kinds of hoax appearance to the crisis of the health communication-public sphere in the digital era. This study finds that: First, new media offers people more personal communication space where they can be a consumer and producer of information at once. Second, a clinical sense of health becomes a claim for being right that makes people trust scientific logic and eliminate critical attitude to manipulative works. Third, the health information gap and lack of people's understanding of medical and technical terms make them active consumers who look for information independently through digital media. Fourth, people concern about health information needs so they pay attention to see, read, and even share information. Fifth, hoax with certain interest tends to purpose on fake news that spreads in social media massively. Sixth, insufficient digital literacy in society makes them lost in mass information in the new media era. To cite this article (7^th APA style): Praptiningsih, W. & Kurnia, N. (2020).

Deaf people communicate differently, such as using sign language or writing. This communication style difference becomes a problem when a deaf person is in higher education, where most of the communication is verbal orally. Most deaf students in the university in Indonesia do not have a standardized facility to help them study in class; therefore, each student could have a different communication style during class lectures. This article identifies the classroom communication patterns between deaf students and hearing lecturers. The research's informants are deaf students from three universities in Central Java. The characteristics of the informant are; 1) deaf student, 2) use more than one communication medium, and 3) the communication with the teacher happened in the classroom (offline class). This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method to understand the phenomenon of deaf students in the classroom—data obtained through in-depth interviews and literature study. The results of this study indicate that deaf students have a variety of communication styles in classrooms, such as a mobile application called Live Transcribe, a note taker, and an interpreter. However, there are still many obstacles, such as the transcripts from the application that are not per the speech, note takers that do not give a piece of comprehensive information, and the limited number of interpreters. Therefore, the students must change the media communication regularly depending on the situation to overcome those problems. To cite this article (7^th APA style): Aprilia, R. & Nisa, F. K. (2022).

Contemporary developments in the fields Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Information Technology and Cognitive Sciences (NBIC) have brought about industrial revolution 4.0 and society 5.0 which promises prospect of dramatic progress in human life but also risks complicated ethical issues and ethical dilemmas. It is therefore important to know how future generations will address these ethical problems and ethical dilemmas. Ethics education for Millennial and Generation Z is currently at stake as they will be the ones who will be involved in the development and application of those sciences and technologies. This research article aims to explore how the problem of declining deep communication essentially occurs in contemporary ethics education. To reach the aim, a traditional literature review in conjunction with qualitative meta-synthesis method was applied. The result shows that effective ethics education requires ethical discussions that take the form of deep communication to link its participants’ value systems. However, rapid development and frenzied use of digital information and communication technology (ICT) tend to influence Millennial and Generation Z more outward-oriented, accustomed to shallow communication, and eventually drown into weakened ability for deep communication. Recommendation to anticipate the problem is to intensively deploy creativity in using the digital information and communication technology (ICT) to provoke the emergence of the power of inward orientation through intrapersonal communication and self-reflection.

Advertising of global business corporations is extensively investigated in various cultural settings for its modifying effect on host cultures, particularly promoting Western capitalist values. The same has raised concerns for Muslim societies where majority cultural values being derived from Islam are at loggerheads with Western values, a situation which may have ramifications for these societies. This study explored the very notion in Pakistan, and investigated the depiction of culturally consistent as well as inconsistent values in global companies’ television commercials running in the country. The content of prime time television ads by these companies from April 2017 to March 2018 (N=131) was analyzed for the use of advertising appeals, applying Hofstede’s dimensional model for national cultures and advertising appeals by Pollay (1983) with modifications to include regionally standardized appeals, in the perspective of distorted mirror theorizing by Pollay (1986). The descriptive and statistical analysis of content found majority value appeals used in these ads reflecting values contrary to the cultural tendencies of Pakistani society, including appeals for regional standardization. It also found significant association of major inconsistent appeals with commercials of products used by youth and women. Appeal family was found the most frequently used among culturally consistent appeals. Findings provided a unique way of extrapolating Pollay’s theorizing that mirror of advertising is distorted to the sellers’ interest. To cite this article (7^th APA style): Shahid, S. E. (2021).

The National Commission on Violence against Women (Komnas Perempuan) reports that there has been an increase in Domestic Violence (KDRT) during Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB). The results of an online survey conducted by Komnas Perempuan led Magdalene.co to raise violence through the Safe Space channel specifically. Magdalene.co is a feminist online media that actively raises issues of gender and feminism. This study discusses what types of violence occur during the pandemic and how Magdalene.co raises domestic violence. This study uses a qualitative approach by conducting online observations of articles on the Safe Space channel presented during June 2020. This study also conducted interviews with the co-founder and reporter of Magdalene.co. The results found that economic and psychological violence were the two types of violence that increased. These phenomena are due to the uncertain economic conditions during the pandemic. This research also found several efforts made by Magdalene.co in raising the issue of violence during the Covid-19 pandemic, one of which was by using a particular Safe Space channel. Launched June 2020, this channel collaborates with other institutions such as Komnas Perempuan and the "Apik" Legal Aid Institute. To cite this article (7^th APA style):Nduru, G. T. & Dedees, A. R.

This article analyzes global responses to the outbreak and spread of Covid-19. Specifically, how international communications on the management of Covid-19 by nations and institutions face challenges due to lack of preparedness and capacity of the countries to tackle the virus's spread. Also, how diplomatic relations for cooperation change into conflicts among economic and political rivals in the world. By reviewing selected online news media coverage and social networking sites of public figures and leaders to respond to the epidemics from January-April 2020, this article also draws upon Wallerstein’s world-systems theory as a conceptual framework. The findings indicate that Covid-19 spread at an alarming rate worldwide and contribute to the politicization of global response to and cooperation on Covid-19. The study concludes that Wallerstein’s categorization of the world through the lens of world-systems theory will no more explain the global health care system's nature. Hence, the author suggests a call for Jan N. Pieterse’s critical globalism to improve the health care system's global discourse. Global integration through media discourse would shape communication flows and approaches of cooperation. It also suggested that the world from the core, periphery, and semi-periphery should discuss to tackle the spread of the virus at this time and global environmental crisis in the future.

Amidst COVID19, Beijing was in diplomatic tension with its ‘all-weather friend’ Africa for allegedly targeting Africans in efforts to combat imported cases. As it is in the battle for covid-19 global narrative, U.S. and China faced off. The U.S. took a “condemning China approach,” while China applied “blaming the U.S. of sowing discord on China-Africa friendship.” This study purposely and comparatively picks the two narratives with 1253 pro-U.S. and 683 pro-China total comments as posted on a Tanzanian blogger, Millard Ayo’s Instagram page of 7.2 million followers. It randomly selected 514 (41%) and 276 (40.4%) comments from the two narratives. Through tracking online discourse, coding, and analyzing dominant thematic issues, findings reveal that few netizens asserted China’s story on the incidents, with a significant number supporting retaliation against China. Although the U.S. “condemnation narrative” received high approval, the majority of comments also questioned its moral authority. Interestingly a considerable number of words branded both U.S. and China ‘imperialists’ racing for Africa’s natural resources and wealth. Overall, this research reveals the prevalence of flaws in the Sino-Africa relationship and that the reported discriminations have further worsened the ties, at least for ordinary people.

K-Pop has given rise to presence of idol, fans and fandom. Uses and gratification theory shows that individuals actively use the media to fulfill their goals as fans with a form of fandom participation. In economy context, idols are used as a media consumer attraction. Idol cooperation with a media, attracted fans to participate with the media. With the presence of digital media, fans do online fandom participation activities, such as digital comics. The features of digital comics are used by fans as a medium for fandom participation. By making fans of BTS (ARMY BTS Indonesia) in LINE Webtoon, this research was conducted to look at patterns of fan participation with different categories in utilizing digital comic applications as fandom media. Research used constructivism paradigm through a qualitative digital ethnographic approach. Semi-structured interviews were carried out on five informants who were ARMY BTS Indonesia as readers of "Save Me" webtoon and digital observations in LINE Webtoon. The results show that there are two characteristics of fans, namely temporary fan and devoted fan. Other results show that devoted fans take advantage of the features in LINE Webtoon more optimally as a form of dedication to their idols, while temporary fans have other phenomena besides idols to do fandom participation activities.

This study began with contamination problem that were often brought up when speaking about environmental issues in a larger scale. The most debatable aspect in environmental issues nowadays is about the marine plastic pollution that already contaminated world's ocean. This issue then motivated societies in the world to start reducing plastic usage, but unfortunately, there are only few companies that tried to support this movement.

However, the internal political crises created polarization in the contents of various media compelled the ratification of the draft Law. The Document of the Proclamation Lacked Clarity in the definition of terms, and as a result, it created misunderstandings in the implementation and justifications of the ratified proclamation, as disinformation is only one element of different types of misinformation. It is also not clear why the proclamation repealed the article it assumed to repeal in the Criminal Code of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia while there are other related articles. Furthermore, it was examined that the law will suppress press freedom and media pluralism that are potential democratic ideals as the country is heading for democratic political transition.

This study looks into how people who read news online think about it and helps to reduce the amount of false information spread on social media. The goal of this study was to identify the tactics used by the media when confronted by opposing opinions from their audience in the social media sphere. Social media platforms are essential when people want to debate and get more information on news stories they believe to be false. This study focuses on the importance of a YouTube channel run by a global media outlet that broadcasts a conflicting story. The study used a thematic content qualitative analysis on a sampled comments and used ExportComments.com, a data extraction tool, to extract qualitative data from the YouTube channels. The study revealed that positive comments were followed by positive comments and vice versa. The commenters on these media also frequently search other social media for stories with a similar theme and compare the veracity and coherence of those stories' reported themes. Additionally, these commenters were prepared to defend stories that they believed to be inaccurate and assert that the media should uphold the principle of professionalism. Social media acts as a public sphere. It is not only a political sphere but also a place that is free from private ownership and censorship. The study established that the concept of the public sphere is likely to be abused when the media report conflicting stories that may not auger well with their audience. Although this theory guides the participation of users on the social media platforms, since most are free from the censorship of different players, the media tend to mute the comment sections of their pages for fear of further misinformation and criticism. Social media platforms offer people a reason to speak freely and demonstrate their sentiments openly. The study's results demonstrate that audiences play a significant role in correcting stories on social media, and that constructive journalism is required, with the media needing to play a better role.

This study explores virtual reality (VR) uses in climate change storytelling. The study uses a mixed approach, i.e., qualitative content analysis, experiential media (EM) theoretical model, and the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change special report’s framework on the climate crisis. This study looks at nine different VR media productions on climate change available on the Oculus TV, a VR application by Meta Platforms Inc (formerly Facebook Inc). The nine VR media productions observation and experience involved the use of Oculus Quest 2 Head-Mounted Display (HMD) to understand: 1) to what extent do the VR media productions utilize six qualities of EM; 2) what themes do such VR media productions highlight pertaining to climate change, and 3) to what extent do such themes capture key points highlighted by the landmark IPCC 2018 special report’s framework. The findings revealed that all the nine VR media productions utilized limited qualities of EM, i.e., (1) interactivity, (2) immersion, (3) multisensory presentation, (4) algorithm and data, (5) first-person perspective, and (6) natural user interface. The findings also revealed five broad thematic categories, including global warming; biodiversity & endangered species; culture & traditions; conservation & disaster management; and agriculture, along with various sub-themes identified from all the nine VR media productions. The thematic analysis showed that the VR media productions utilized limited framing and contextualization of the issues pertaining to climate change — as opposed to the multidisciplinary approach that the IPCC report takes and offers as a framework to help people understand the gravity of the problem caused by climate change. The study extends the theoretical understanding of the role VR plays in highlighting the climate crisis and provides practical implications on the uses of VR for climate change storytelling and reporting.

This article elucidates the depth of consumer affection with a brand through a hierarchy of branding called the AKIELS Model. From the initial stage of consumer exposure in Brand Awareness continues to the consumer understanding of the values ​​and attributes in Brand Knowledge. The next step is the Brand Image. Consumers get a specific image and imagination about a brand, then the Brand Experience stage, where consumers touch the 'reality' offered by the brand. If consumers' reality is positive, then the next step is Brand Loyalty. Consumers begin to invest their emotional ties in an ongoing relationship. The deeper the relationship exists, the stronger the consumer's affective capital in a brand, so that the brand becomes one of the essential parts of a consumer's life. The brand becomes an ideological pleasure. The brand becomes a 'religion' that is maintained, obeyed, and consumers share its values to attract other consumers to join the circle of brand ideology that they hold. This stage is where the brand achieves the most profound meaning and the deepest position at the level of consumer affection, namely Brand Spirituality. AKIELS model of branding hierarchy can be a strategic tool to measure brand performance in its relationship with consumers. SEBERAPA 'DALAM' MEREK ANDA? Model Efek Hirarkis Pemerekan EmosionalArtikel ini menjelaskan kedalaman afeksi konsumen terhadap suatu merek melalui hierarki pemerekan yang disebut Model AKIELS. Dari tahap awal keterpaparan konsumen dalam Brand Awareness berlanjut ke pemahaman konsumen tentang nilai dan atribut merek dalam Brand Knowledge. Langkah selanjutnya adalah Brand Image. Konsumen mendapatkan gambaran dan imajinasi tertentu tentang suatu merek, kemudian tahap Brand Experience, di mana konsumen menyentuh 'realitas' yang ditawarkan merek tersebut. Jika realitas konsumen positif, maka langkah selanjutnya adalah Brand Loyalty. Konsumen mulai menginvestasikan ikatan emosional mereka dalam hubungan yang berkelanjutan. Semakin dalam hubungan tersebut terjalin maka semakin kuat modal afektif konsumen dalam suatu merek, sehingga merek tersebut menjadi salah satu bagian esensial dalam kehidupan konsumen. Merek menjadi kesenangan ideologis. Merek menjadi 'agama' yang dijaga, ditaati, dan konsumen pun berbagi nilai-nilai merek yang dirasakannya untuk menarik konsumen lain bergabung dalam lingkaran ideologi merek yang mereka pegang. Tahap ini adalah saat merek mencapai makna yang paling dalam dan posisi tertinggi pada tingkat afeksi konsumen, yakni tahap pamungkas Brand Spirituality. Model AKIELS dalam hirarki branding dapat menjadi perangkat strategis untuk mengukur kinerja merek dalam hubungannya dengan konsumen. To cite this article (7th APA style):Wijaya, B. S. (2013).
