Global palm oil consumption, registering at 77 million metric tons annually, presents a significant ecological challenge. The importance of fostering sustainable production is paramount. Yet, issues of deforestation and other unsustainable practices cast doubt over this objective. Sustainable certification schemes such as the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) aim to improve sustainable practices among stakeholders, including smallholders. A low achievement rate of only 30% certified smallholders suggests impediments beyond financial constraints. This study investigates the impact of social structure, specifically communication elements like social interaction ties and shared identity, on smallholders’ adoption of sustainable certification—a viewpoint aligned with innovation diffusion theory. Employing a quantitative design and a questionnaire survey, data was collected from 300 independent smallholders and analyzed via Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings illuminate that communication through social interaction ties and shared identity significantly influences the adoption of sustainable-certified schemes by smallholders. This suggests that innovation diffusion within this sector is socially motivated, emphasizing the influential role of communication in facilitating adoption of sustainable practices among small farmers. This novel understanding offers valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in utilizing social dynamics to endorse sustainable practices within the palm oil industry. Keywords: Sustainable certification, communication, smallholders, innovation diffusion, social structure.

The global news media industry is still looking for a sustainable business model. The digitalisation of the media has forced the global press industry to seek compensation for lost revenue traditionally derived from advertising. A similar phenomenon is also occurring in a Global South country, Indonesia. With many social media users and thousands of startups, the opportunity to benefit comes from two channels: monetising user participation and content. What is the current position of conglomerate and digitally native news media on the two options? How are websites and social media used by both media to support these two sources of income? The research applied two methods, website content analysis and social media analysis, to see revenue channels, web functions, user participation on the web, and social media functions. In addition, we interviewed eight informants from eight media. This research finds that digital news media conglomerates and Indonesian startups earn profits through similar channels, such as monetising user participation and content and their expertise. However, slightly different from established digital media, digital native media companies expand their revenue stream by monetising their expertise, for example, by offering market research and data analysis. Digital news media with a niche market of readers will most likely offer their expertise. Keywords: Media business model, digital news media, paywall, user participation, user-generated content.

The development of popular Islamic media in the digital era, associated with an authority shift from traditional to popular religion, has enhanced peoples’ ways of thinking. Ironically, conservative and radical Islamic models have dominated the digital space. Therefore, in response to this phenomenon, this research examines how the mainstreaming strategy of religious moderation is carried out by moderate groups, specifically a non-affiliated Islamic portal called Islami.co, with the tagline “Enlightening and Friendly Islamic Media.” This research also analyzed articles, concepts, and perspectives to determine whether they are in the moderate category using the Jürgen Habermas’ theory of communicative rationality. Furthermore, the essays in the islami.co were analyzed according to three kinds of validity claims, namely truth, accuracy, and honesty. This study concluded that mainstreaming religious moderation through this islami.co’s media significantly impacts the community as a filter from news content or thoughts that do not reflect the Islamic value of mercy to all mankind. Islami.co’s writers continuously endeavor to test conservative-radical Islamic narratives that develop in a society with logical (aqli) and religious (naqli) arguments presented with brief and uncomplicated explanations. The strategy of popular Islamic portals such as islami.co is quite acceptable to middle-class Muslims, as often preached by the fundamentalist groups. Therefore, it is very appropriate to direct islami.co’s target audience to readers from the general public. Keywords: Religious moderation, digital space, Islami.co, communicative rationality, religious authority.

Konsep komuniti filem, berbanding kelab atau persatuan filem, merupakan istilah terbaru yang kini makin disantuni oleh penonton, peminat, pengkritik, pengkarya dan penguasa elit industri seni dan kebudayaan. Kesenjangan antara mereka yang mengetahui dan menyantuni komuniti filem, dan mereka di lingkaran sebuah komuniti filem yang tidak mengetahui atau menyedari sebesar apakah ruang atau kekangan itu? Tujuan utama penyelidikan ini ialah meninjau persepsi warga Wilayah Persekutuan dan Selangor terhadap konsep, program dan ekosistem komuniti filem. Penyelidikan ini telah menggunakan Teori Pilihan Rasional sebagai kerangka tindakan sosial yang berasaskan tiga konstruk: individualisme, struktur dan kerasionalan, yang mampu menjana ekosistem komuniti filem yang kondusif. Kerangka ini diterapkan ke atas sejumlah responden berstrata (n=875) berdasarkan umur, etnisiti, gender dan pendidikan. Analisis regresi berganda telah dilakukan untuk melihat sumbangan beberapa variabel terutamanya individualisme dan struktur komuniti filem terhadap ekosistem industri filem yang rasional secara amnya. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa individualisme dan struktur komuniti filem mempunyai pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap ekosistem yang rasional dalam komuniti filem. Hal ini menunjukkan bahawa individualisme dan struktur program yang positif mampu menyelaras dan menambah fungsionalisme komuniti filem sebagai ekosistem seni dan kebudayaan perfileman yang independen demi memberikan nilai tambah besar kepada penonton, peminat, pengkritik dan pengkarya serta komuniti setempat. Kata kunci: Ekosistem komuniti filem, komuniti setempat, Teori Pilihan Rasional, tindakan sosial, sinefilia.

Kajian tentang kandungan yang dihasilkan pengguna (User-Generated Content - UGC) berkembang dengan stabil di seluruh pelusuk dunia. Ini kerana, UGC tidak hanya mempengaruhi kandungan berita, tetapi juga keseluruhan amalan kewartawanan. Dalam ruang lingkup kewartawanan warga, UGC mengaburkan sempadan antara siapa pengeluar dan siapa pengguna kandungan kerana keterlibatan khalayak yang menyumbang kepada kolaborasi dalam praktis kewartawanan. Penggunaan teknologi seperti media sosial mendefinisikan semula epistemologi kewartawanan yang tidak pernah kita fikirkan sebelum ini. Kajian ini mengkaji prospek dan cabaran aplikasi UGC di bilik berita Malaysia khususnya penggabungan UGC ke dalam amalan kewartawanan profesional di tiga bilik berita iaitu Berita Harian, Harian Metro dan Sin Chew Daily. Dengan menggunakan kaedah temubual mendalam dengan tujuh penyunting berita dan penyunting dalam talian di tiga akhbar ini, hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa UGC tergabung dalam pembinaan berita ketiga-tiga akhbar ini secara sederhana. Penglibatan khalayak hanya berlaku pada tahap penyediaan sumber bahan berita dan tidak lebih daripada itu. Bagaimanapun, peristiwa viral masih dianggap sebagai bahan yang sangat berpotensi untuk disahkan dan diterbitkan. Ini menunjukkan bahawa UGC dari segi praktisnya berguna di bilik berita Malaysia, tetapi aplikasinya masih terhad. Pada masa yang sama, media sosial dilihat sebagai alat yang sangat penting oleh wartawan untuk berinteraksi dengan khalayak. Kata kunci: Kandungan yang dihasilkan pengguna (UGC), kewartawanan warga, keterlibatan khalayak, media sosial, pengesahan fakta.

This is a review paper on the apparent force of commercial success and social media presence being a key in the changes of female representation in popular culture using The Hunger Games dystopian trilogy’s global commercial success and its impact as case in point. It argues that the trilogy’s commercial success is valuable in helping normalise the flipped gender roles or subverting the stereotypical gender primes. While dystopian literature supposedly features worlds and societies beyond typical real-life rules, many parts of that fictional world will still exhibit traits and beliefs contemporary to its author and resonate with its audience. The normalisation of gender stereotypes can often be seen in characters and social dynamics portrayed repeatedly throughout other forms of media communication. These and other literary works carry within it these stereotypical traits or behaviours a shorthand frame of reference which are called tropes. In this paper, the tropes are viewed through the sociological lens called stereotype priming which is the perpetuation of stereotypes through systemic means targeting certain behaviours, traits or beliefs. This paper looks at instances of tropes exhibiting priming functions within the dystopian world of not just The Hunger Games trilogy and how the commercial success of the empowered female has paved the way for more positive female representation in popular media culture since then. This lens has been expanded to take into account how The Hunger Games trilogy continues to have relevance post-pandemic regarding issues that current facts have brought dangerously close to dystopian fiction. Keywords: Dystopian narrative, gender, popular media, popular culture, stereotypes.

The BERSIH movement in Malaysia is a coalition of civil society organizations advocating for clean and fair elections. This research examines how visual communication shapes political participation by focusing on the visual framing of the BERSIH movement. The study interviewed ten visual communication experts to uncover the meanings and ideological representations behind the visual frames used in the movement. The investigation identified three main themes: portrayal of the crowd, significant individuals, and injustice. The portrayal of the crowd theme highlighted the use of visuals to create a sense of unity and solidarity among participants, while the significant individuals theme emphasized the importance of visual representations of influential figures in shaping people's perceptions. The injustice theme highlighted the use of visuals to expose the injustices and inequality within the electoral system. The study found that visual framing plays a significant role in shaping people's attitudes towards political participation. Neutral or cool visual elements can evoke strong feelings and attract people to the cause, demonstrating that visual elements play a vital role in political mobilization. The findings suggest that carefully crafting visual frames can evoke strong emotional responses and encourage participation in political action. This research sheds light on the power of visual communication in shaping political participation in Malaysia's social movements and highlights the need for a strategic approach in creating visuals that appeal to people's emotions and encourage political engagement. Keywords: Visual framing, social movement, social media, politics, Malaysia.

This study analyses and explains the boundaries between the sacred and profane in digital Al-Quran applications contained in smartphones. This research uses an ethnographic approach. The research study subjects were Muslim teenagers who use digital Al-Quran applications. The results showed a difference in the treatment of Muslim teenagers using digital Al-Quran with the Al-Quran in the form of manuscripts. The existence of a digital Al-Quran makes its sacred value disappear due to the rites, ethics and prohibitions attached to it. In addition, some digital Al-Quran applications bring up advertisements and notifications that interfere with the user's focus on reading them. The development and convergence of the media have made secular values into the Al-Quran and finally eliminated the sacred value of the Al-Quran itself with the loss of the rituals attached to the Al-Quran. The results of this study indicate a novelty, namely that Muslim youth simplify the use of digital Al-Quran applications compared to manuscripts considered more sacred as God's revelation. This shows that modernisation has also bulldozed sacred religious institutions. So, this study criticises the theory of Emil Durkheim and Antony Giddens regarding sacred and profane contexts.

Pengguna Instagram terutamanya dalam kalangan selebriti di Malaysia berdepan dengan risiko buli siber seperti menerima mesej langsung berunsur lucah di dalam talian yang turut dikenali dengan gangguan seksual siber. Gangguan seksual siber ini merangkumi tingkah laku yang menggunakan kandungan digital di pelbagai laman media sosial yang berbeza. Kajian ini meneliti salah satu daripada aspek buli siber iaitu mesej berunsurkan gangguan seksual yang berlaku dalam kalangan selebriti di Instagram. Kajian dilaksanakan terhadap selebriti yang menerima buli siber dalam kategori gangguan seksual siber untuk melihat kesan emosi dan tindakan menangani yang telah diambil oleh selebriti terhadap pelaku buli siber tersebut. Temubual secara mendalam telah dijalankan terhadap 13 informan yang terdiri daripada selebriti lelaki dan wanita di Malaysia.

Tindakan menangani yang sering dipraktikkan oleh selebriti adalah mengabaikan dan sekat pelaku. Namun, gangguan seksual siber ini seharusnya tidak dipandang remeh kerana ia merupakan gejala yang serius. Dapatan menunjukkan bahawa terdapat banyak kesan emosi yang dialami oleh selebriti. Justeru, selebriti menggunakan pelbagai jenis tindakan dalam satu masa untuk menangani situasi buli siber yang dialami.

Mediatization of politics refers to the meta-process by which political institutions are highly dependent and influenced by the usage of media in political processes. In the early 2000s, research was heavily pioneered by scholars from Western World. For the past decade, scholars from the Southeast Asian region have explored and used the concept in understanding the relationship between media and political institutions in their respective countries. However, there is no cohesive systematic review on research that has been done on how mediatization of politics is being constructed in Southeast Asian context. This is crucial to determine mediatization of politics claims as the new paradigm of media studies holds true in the context of Asian political systems. Therefore, the present article conducted a systematic literature review on mediatization of politics in the Asian region. This study integrated different research designs and the review was based on PRISMA 2020 (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic and Meta Analysis 2020). From 45 articles initially screened, 9 articles were chosen for the final systematic review. Four themes emerged from the systematic review, namely a) democratization, b) disinformation, c) religious populism and d) nationalism. The results showed that in most SEA countries, political actors are embracing the high dependency of media, whether it is the mainstream media or the digital media. Along with the mediatization, comes positive and negative consequences that are different according to the history of the countries. Future scholars should focus on expanding and building the systematic review in different regions. Keywords: Systematic review, mediatization of politics, Southeast Asia, democratization, political institutions.
