In recent research, the concept of “media diets” has received increased attention. However, the concept remains vague and not fully developed, and rarely, if at all, do researchers ask citizens about their perceptions of their own and others’ media diets. With the ongoing transformation of the media landscape, there has never been a more pertinent time to explore these perceptions, which this research intends to do. The main goal of this paper then is to identify recommendations addressing recently voiced concerns about news consumption patterns in contemporary society to relevant stakeholders. Empirically, the study is based on a series of focus group interviews with younger (18–25 years old) and older (over 55) adults in five European countries (Germany, Poland, Romania, Spain, and the UK). Our results show important cohort differences as well as cross-country similarities, which are pertinent insights for the formulation of stakeholder recommendations.

This study looks at how disinformation regarding Covid-19 affects the process of making vaccination decisions for adolescents aged 12 to 17 years in Jombang Regency. The increase in the spread of disinformation related to Covid-19, which contains information that lacks credibility in the content of the information available, creates various negative perspectives from its readers towards the Covid-19 vaccination, which, as stated by WHO, has spread disinformation and caused confusion, suspicion, as well as negative sentiment towards the Covid-19 vaccination. In addition to vaccine skepticism and skepticism, public health has long been the target of foreign disinformation campaigns, including conspiracy theories, as part of the larger struggle for national security (Boghardt, 2009; Ellick & Westbrook, 2018). With the influence of rampant disinformation on various social media, the suspicion of vaccination is increasing, which gives a negative view. This study used a qualitative approach with a phenomenological study method. Data collection techniques were carried out by means of FGD (Forum Group Discussion) and interviews. The results of the study show that Covid-19 disinformation has a role in the decision-making process for youth vaccination aged 12-17 years in Jombang. However, with this, there are still other factors that influence the decision, namely related to the role of community leaders around.

The social media that is currently dominating and widely used is TikTok. The features in the TikTok app are very diverse, one of which is hashtags. One video content often seen on TikTok is #OOTD or outfit of the day.

The research method used is quantitative, with an explanatory approach and a questionnaire as the main instrument in data collection. In determining the sample using the unknown population formula and the results obtained were 100 respondents. Purposive sampling was used as a sampling technique.

A mental health issue that has been of concern to the public in recent years is bipolar mental disorder. The disorder has an impact on increasing mortality rates, especially death by suicide. One of the Indonesian movies that raised the theme of bipolar mental disorder is the movie Ku Kira Kau Rumah. This research aims to find out how the audience perceives the content of the message, especially regarding Bipolar mental disorder in the movie Ku Kira Kau Rumah. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with the method of reception analysis by Stuart Hall based on three categories namely Dominant Hegemonic Position, Negotiate Position and Oppositional Position using primary data sources as the main source. The data collection techniques used were interviews with eight informants and documentation. The data analysis technique used is the Miles and Huberman model including data reduction, data display and conclusion drawing and the data validation technique is source triangulation. Based on the results of the research data analysis, it was concluded that two informants were in the dominant hegemonic position, meaning that the two informants approved the message conveyed. Then three informants are in a positive negotiated position, meaning that the informant tends to agree with the message conveyed in the film and the last three informants are in an oppositional position, which means that the informant who is in the positive position does not agree with the message conveyed in the film.
躁郁症是近年来备受公众关注的精神健康问题。这种精神障碍会导致死亡率上升,尤其是自杀死亡。躁郁症》(Ku Kira Kau Rumah)是一部以躁郁症为主题的印尼电影。本研究旨在了解观众如何看待电影《Ku Kira Kau Rumah》中的信息内容,尤其是关于躁郁症的内容。本研究以斯图亚特-霍尔(Stuart Hall)的接受分析法为基础,采用描述性定性研究方法,以原始数据为主要来源,分为三个类别,即霸权主导地位、协商地位和反对地位。使用的数据收集技术是与八位信息提供者的访谈和文献记录。使用的数据分析技术是迈尔斯和休伯曼模型,包括数据还原、数据显示和结论得出,数据验证技术是来源三角测量。根据研究数据分析的结果,得出的结论是,两名信息提供者处于主导霸权地位,这意味着这两名信息提供者认可所传达的信息。然后有三位信息提供者处于积极协商的立场,即信息提供者倾向于同意影片传达的信息,最后三位信息提供者处于反对立场,即处于积极立场的信息提供者不同意影片传达的信息。

Sebagai seorang ibu tunggal, tanggung jawab yang diemban lebih kompleks karena harus menjalani peran ganda: menjadi kepala keluarga, mencari nafkah, mendidik anak, dan mengurus rumah tangga seorang diri. Peran sulit yang harus dijalani serta penerimaan diri yang harus dilalui menimbulkan kondisi disonansi kognitif pada ibu tunggal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui disonansi kognitif yang dialami oleh ibu tunggal sebagai kepala keluarga. Metode deskriptif kualitatif digunakan dalam penelitian ini dengan paradigma konstruktivis. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam semi terstruktur dan observasi non-partisipan. Data yang dikumpulkan dianalisis menggunakan teknik analisis data dari Miles dan Huberman yaitu melalui tahap kondensasi data, penyajian data, verifikasi dan penarikan kesimpulan. Adapun hasil dari penelitian ini adalah Ibu tunggal merasa cukup berat dalam menjalani perannya mencari nafkah sekaligus mengurus rumah, keempat informan memilih untuk menerima keadaan dan melanjutkan hidup demi menghidupi anak.

During presidential campaigns, party members often operate Facebook pages or groups concurrently with the official communications of their respective political parties. However, there is limited evidence regarding the true motivations of these partisans, and how their efforts supplement the online strategies of the parties. Our study is based on interviews conducted with party members who ran Facebook pages to support a candidate during the 2022 French presidential campaign. It sheds light on how they managed their Facebook pages, often autonomously, to serve as supplementary tools to their grassroots tactics and ultimately to bring the campaign closer to the voters. This finding highlights the emergence of a hybrid model of online campaign organization, the partisan-managed campaigning model, which challenges both the traditional top-down model, in which the campaign is managed by the central party, and the more recent citizen-initiated campaign model.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused university education to transition from face-to-face contacts to virtual learning environments. Young adults were forced to live an entirely new life online, without valuable and enjoyable social interaction. We examined subjective perspectives towards life online during the pandemic. We identified four viewpoints about life mediated by computers. Two viewpoints express “struggling”: Viewpoint 1 (Angry, Depressed and Overwhelmed), and Viewpoint 3 (Restricted to and Overwhelmed by Virtuality). A third feeling-state conveys experiences of “surviving”: Viewpoint 4 (Isolated and Powerless in Convenience). Surprisingly, Viewpoint 2 is about “thriving” (Comfortable and Convenient Routine with Computers). The research shows that virtualization, confinement, and anxiety are taking a toll on the mental health of some members of the younger generation, while at the same time other members feel they are thriving in a situation of limited resources, virtuality, and reduced face-to-face human interaction.
