Abstract

This research aims to analyze the construction of social media in the context of political hegemony during the first round of the 2024 Indonesian presidential debate. Employing a social media analysis approach, this study explores how social media serves as a crucial platform in shaping and directing public opinion and how viral narratives can influence political dynamics and polarization in society. The findings reveal that social media plays a significant role as the primary platform creating a polarization of public opinion, dividing users into pro and contra groups regarding the presidential candidates. Dominant narratives are often triggered by controversial speeches or responses, sparking emotional and intense discussions among social media users. This research also highlights the importance of contextual understanding and the sustainability of facts in addressing challenges posed by distorted perceptions in the digital world. Small groups with extreme views play a crucial role in creating an echo chamber, where their perspectives are reinforced and influence wider conversations. Panelists and debate moderators also have a significant impact on shaping perceptions of presidential Candidates performances. This study provides in-depth insights into the complex dynamics of social media in the political context, opening the door to a better understanding of its influence on public opinion and social political dynamics.

Abstract

Digital media has become an omnipresent element in the lives of young children. This study aims to analyze the usage of digital media in promoting communication skills in early childhood. The proliferation of smartphones, tablets, and other digital devices has revolutionized how children interact with information and communicate with others. However, concerns have been raised regarding the potential impact of excessive screen time on children's development, particularly in areas such as language acquisition and social skills. This research employs a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with parents and educators of children aged 2 to 6 years. Quantitative data will be gathered to examine the frequency and duration of digital media usage among young children, while qualitative insights will delve into the perceived benefits and drawbacks of digital media on communication skills development. Additionally, observations of children's interactions with digital media tools will provide contextual understanding. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to a nuanced understanding of the role of digital media in early childhood communication development. By identifying effective usage patterns and potential pitfalls, educators and parents can make informed decisions regarding the integration of digital media into early childhood education and upbringing. Ultimately, this research aims to inform strategies that leverage digital media to enhance rather than hinder communication skills in young children, ensuring their holistic development in today's digital age.

Abstract

The automotive industry is one of the most significant global economic drivers. There has been a steady rise in both the expectations and the level of competition. Thus, to attain a better competitive advantage in the market, the companies carefully analyze the consumers’ opinions on social media platforms to enhance business decisions. Existing studies have shown various analyses of consumer opinion towards brands or products, particularly on one social media platform. Yet, limited studies have explored sentiment analysis in social media text and reviews of preferences of car brands. This research aims to investigate the impact of social media sentiment analysis on business choices involving automotive companies. In this study, a dataset has been taken from a total of five car brand models of Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, Maruti Suzuki, and Mahindra with three social media platforms, namely Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Sentiment analysis has been applied to explore the user’s opinions and reviews about five brand car models. By the utilization of Natural Language Processing (NLP), sentiment analysis evaluates the emotional polarity status of users. It showed that the brand Hyundai has achieved a much higher positive polarity sentiment score than the other model. Further, it showed that it achieved a strong correlation between business decisions and sentiment in the social media platform of Facebook, where all the brand models attained strong correlations.

Abstract

This comparative study explores the awareness and perceptions of online shoppers regarding the marketing strategies employed by Amazon and Flipkart in the twin cities of Telangana. The research aims to understand how these strategies influence consumer behavior and contribute to the companies' market positioning. In today's fast-paced environment, understanding how leading e-commerce platforms attract and retain customers is crucial. Our findings indicate that Amazon excels over Flipkart in various aspects of online marketing. Amazon's strategic use of social media marketing, continuous advertising, and influencer partnerships effectively engages consumers and promotes its products and services. Furthermore, Amazon's diversification into the entertainment sector with platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Music, and Amazon Mini TV enhances its customer engagement and broadens its market reach. In contrast, Flipkart's marketing efforts are largely confined to the online promotion of its core products and services, limiting its competitive edge. This study highlights Amazon’s superior marketing approaches and their effectiveness in fostering business growth, while also emphasizing the need for Flipkart to expand and innovate its marketing strategies to better compete. This comparative analysis provides valuable insights for businesses and marketers aiming to enhance their online marketing strategies and understand consumer preferences in a dynamic digital marketplace. The research underscores the significance of integrated marketing efforts, including social media and entertainment engagement, in driving consumer awareness and loyalty in the competitive online retail sector.

Abstract

The industries often argue in defence of advertising their products such as alcohol and tobacco, citing the significant taxes they contribute. Despite the decline in tobacco advertising, both alcohol and tobacco industries continue to promote their products indirectly through surrogate advertisements. These ads often endorse other products under the same brand or present altered versions of the original products, exerting similar influences on consumers' perceptions. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the impact of surrogate advertising, utilizing primary data gathered through surveys to assess public awareness and perceptions. Given India's diverse cultural landscape and demographics, understanding the actual effects of these ads is crucial. It is essential to determine whether the general public comprehends how surrogate advertisements function and whether they can distinguish them from regular advertisements. Ultimately, the focus should be on evaluating the influence of these ads on both the market and individuals and understanding viewers' perspectives on them.

Abstract

The digital era has significantly changed the perspectives and ways of communication for individuals, including women with widow status. Previously, during the patriarchal era, cultural values and norms established that widowed women faced more severe life challenges and received negative stigmas. According to data from DataIndonesia.id, the percentage of widows in Indonesia was higher than that of widowers in 2021. Divorced women accounted for 12.83% of the population, including those divorced by death or alive. Meanwhile, the percentage of divorced men was 4.32%. The digital era has impacted social changes, with the high number of widowed women indicating that women now have greater opportunities to enhance their capacities, which also affects their economic fulfillment. This research aims to understand the identity of widowed women in the digital era in terms of externalization, objectivation, and internalization. The study employs a qualitative approach using social construction. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings of this research indicate that widowed women feel that their role teaches them the meaning of independence, allowing them to work or pursue careers without limitations. They can optimize social media as a platform to enhance their quality and relationships, and others acknowledge that these women are comfortable and confident with their current status. Being a widow is no longer something to be feared or constantly stigmatized; it has evolved with the development of technology and information.

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into communication strategies has revolutionized various fields, including Islamic Da'wah. This study explores how AI technologies can be utilized to enhance the dissemination of Islamic teachings, examining both the opportunities and challenges this integration presents. This research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative analysis of AI applications in religious contexts with quantitative surveys of Da'wah practitioners and their audiences. The findings reveal that AI technologies, such as chatbots, natural language processing, and machine learning, significantly enhance the reach and personalization of Da'wah efforts. AI enables interactive and engaging communication, breaking down geographical and linguistic barriers. However, the results also highlight several challenges, including ethical concerns regarding the accuracy of AI-generated content, the potential for misinformation, and the digital divide that limits access to these technologies. The study concludes that while AI offers substantial opportunities to innovate Islamic Da'wah, careful consideration must be given to ethical implications and practical limitations. The collaboration between AI experts and Islamic scholars is essential to ensure that AI-driven Da'wah initiatives are both effective and respectful of Islamic values. Balancing AI's advantages with its challenges can lead to more effective and inclusive communication strategies in the digital era, ultimately enriching the practice of Islamic propagation.
