TikTok servers not only as medium for marketing, branding, and self-existence, but also a medium full of negative content. One of prominent features of TikTok is widely used to respond to viral cases. However, this feature has also facilitated the occurrence of debates lead to conflicts among users. The purpose of this study is to get an overview of the TikTok stitch trend as a negation feature in citizen communication on social media. Netnography is the method used in this research. This research concludes that generally the accounts' self-presentation makes Stitch's image optimal in responding to viral cases. Generally, they negate (deny) viral TikTok videos in the hope that their negation is the most correct. Meanwhile, recipients of the messages created through stitches tend to respond by creating their own stitches, and/or providing comments as a form of feedback. Another finding of viral content, that are considered controversial by netizens, tend to produce hate speech and comments, mutual insults and bullying. Stitch is a communication channel for conveying ideas, opinions, criticism without filters with content that is less controllable and makes it more trending.</em></p> 2022-12-31T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2022 Jurnal Komunikasi https://journal.untar.ac.id/index.php/komunikasi/article/view/20684 Dangdut Koplo as a Manifestation of Popular Culture In Indonesia 2023-08-27T09:12:44+00:00 Agustinus Rustanta agusrustanta@gmail.com <p><em>One of the original works of Indonesians is dangdut music, more specifically, dangdut koplo.

This research is intended to explore the communicative leadership performed by local leaders in managing covid-19 pandemic from 2020 to 2022. To meet this aim, the present study employed interviews with 6 local leaders in Kabupaten Pasuruan, Jawa Timur as informants. This research revealed that in responding health crisis due to covid-19 pandemic, leadership involved communication to construct and negotiate meaning through shared narratives about covid-19. This leadership had been performed to help communities in the sense-making process about the pandemic through a series of strategies comprising (1) operating religious frame and local values to construct a shared reality about covid-19 pandemic and how to respond to it, (2) providing narratives as the evidence, (3) performing openness, presence and empathy. This research also found that maintaining sustainable coordination with the authorities is performed by local leaders to assure communities about the pandemic response plan, thus, community involvement in covid-19 measures could be developed easily. This study confirmed some previous research highlighting the importance of faith-based organizations (FBOs) in communication intervention in the health context and research on the importance of narrative to persuade people to adopt new health behaviours.</em></p> 2023-12-31T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Jurnal Komunikasi https://journal.untar.ac.id/index.php/komunikasi/article/view/23088 Social Media Marketing Activities (SMMA) As A Brand Formation Strategy A Study Of The Brand Image Formation Strategy Of Tasikmalaya Embroidery Products 2023-06-19T13:50:29+00:00 Trie Damayanti trie.damayanti@unpad.ac.id Aang Koswara aangkoswara@unpad.ac.id <p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Branding is an effort to establish a brand, both products, companies, and other objects.

As a result, the frequency of purchasing skincare products in Indonesia has also risen. Local Indonesian skincare is a popular choice among the public. The variety of local skincare products encourages competition among companies to market their products. In the times, marketing through social media is increasingly popular to interact directly with customers. Indonesia ranks second in the world, with the number of TikTok users reaching 109.90 million. This research uses the S-O-R Model to analyze the positive influence of Marketing Activities on social media on Brand Loyalty, with the mediating role of Customer Brand Engagement and Brand Trust. The hypothetical relationships in the proposed model are tested using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Of the total respondents who were TikTok users for six months or more, 87.3% were women. This research aims to understand how social media marketing activities (SMMA) impact brand loyalty (BLO) for local skincare brands in Indonesia. It also considers the mediating roles of customer-based equity (CBE) and brand trust (BTR) in this relationship. The results of hypothesis testing showed a significant positive influence on all variables tested. The role of mediation has also proved significant, albeit with varying degrees of influence. Some variables tend to have a low influence on Brand Loyalty, while the most significant influence is seen in the influence of SMMA on Brand Trust. Thus, this study has important implications for local skincare companies in developing effective marketing strategies to build strong brand loyalty and increase customer trust in the brand.</em></p> 2023-12-31T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Jurnal Komunikasi https://journal.untar.ac.id/index.php/komunikasi/article/view/25222 Citarum Watershed Restoration through Community Involvement and Tourism Village Development 2023-12-25T11:52:03+00:00 Evi Novianti evi.novianti@unpad.ac.id Dian Wardiana Sjuchro d.wardiana@unpad.ac.id Dina Oktavia dina.oktavia@unpad.ac.id Qorinah Estiningtyas Sakilah Adnani qorinah.adnani@unpad.ac.id Lani Gumilang lani@unpad.ac.id Sunardi sunardi@unpad.ac.id Isni Nurfauziah isni16001@mail.unpad.ac.id <p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>The Citarum watershed is a source of livelihood for communities in 13 cities and regencies in West Java and Jakarta.

Two groups have emerged: government supporters highlighting the successes of President Joko Widodo and those shifting their support to Anies Baswedan after Prabowo joined the government. Over time, this phenomenon has led to the proliferation of hate speech based on identities such as religion, ethnicity, and fanatical groups, potentially dividing public opinion. This study aims to explain the emergence of hate speech and the forms of hate speech based on identity politics leading up to the 2024 General Election. This study employs virtual ethnographic analysis (Virtual Ethnography) to observe tweets or statuses on selected accounts and the comments that arise from those tweets. The objects of analysis are the trends of words and phrases and the content within observed sentences or paragraphs. The research findings have been presented in the form of tabulation and categorization. The results show that comments and statuses containing hate speech always create bidirectional and multi-directional communication models among users. Hate speech often uses phrases and keywords that lead to insults, malicious accusations, curses, and accusing the opposing party of being stupid and evil.

This study is qualitative and involves several elements including Kelurahan government officials, self-help groups, disaster risk reduction forums, volunteers, and residents who represent stakeholders related to mitigation. A qualitative approach is used to deepen understanding through observation, interviews, and focus group discussions. Data analysis uses an interactive model recommended by Miles and Huberman. The main findings of the study show that the most frequent natural disasters are landslides and floods. This is caused by the topography which causes unstable soil conditions so that it easily causes landslides when rainfall is high. The dominant communication pattern in terms of natural disaster management/mitigation is bottom-up, from the community to the Village, Kapanewon, and Regency Governments as well as BPBD.

Indonesian music fans came in droves to enliven the music concert. Audience music concert activities do not only focus on concerts and purchasing concert tickets but also on crowds in the virtual sector. The activity of watching a music concert is documented and uploaded via social media and Instagram. The use of hashtags is used to support the concert as well as being a means of self-actualization as a music fan. Uploads on Instagram social media with the hashtag immediately received attention from other social media users who were interested in the concert. From this explanation, this research will look at two things. Firstly, how influential hashtags on Instagram are in increasing audience engagement through three music concerts held in Indonesia. Second, look at the comparison of the three music concert hashtags. The research approach used in this research is quantitative, using extensive data-based social network analysis (SNA) methods. The application used in this research is Analisia.io, an artificial intelligence (AI) social analytic application as a tool for collecting virtual data according to the researchers' criteria. The first result of this research is that #blackpinkworldtourjakarta's cumulative total audience engagement is 17,653. #the90festival cumulative total audience engagement 144,150. And #coldplayjakarta, the total audience engagement was 811,387. The first Instagram hashtag most discussed virally is #coldplayjakarta, the second is the hashtag #the90festival, and the last is the hashtag #blackpinkworldtourjakarta.
