The Role of Interpersonal Communication in Improving Work Effectiveness in an Organizational Environment
Interpersonal communication is a crucial factor influencing work effectiveness in an organizational setting. This study uses a literature review method to analyze the contribution of interpersonal communication to coordination, employee psychological dynamics, and the achievement of organizational goals. The literature sources used include scientific journals, academic books, proceedings, and relevant publications from the past ten years. The analysis results show that effective interpersonal communication facilitates work coordination, improves task clarity, and minimizes misinterpretation of instructions. Harmonious interpersonal relationships increase motivation, trust, and job satisfaction, thus motivating employees to contribute optimally. In addition, interpersonal communication supports cross-divisional collaboration, accelerates decision-making, and strengthens the implementation of organizational strategies. Literature findings confirm that good interpersonal communication management plays a strategic role in improving individual and team performance, reducing internal conflict, and facilitating adaptation to changes in the work environment. This study concludes that interpersonal communication is not only a technical aspect, but also psychological and strategic factors that contribute significantly to the achievement of organizational goals. The implications of this research emphasize the need to improve interpersonal communication competencies for employees and management as part of an organizational development strategy

Transformation of Learning Leadership in the Digital Era: A Qualitative Analysis Based on Literature Studies on Adaptive Educational Management Models
This study aims to analyze the transformation of learning leadership in the digital era through a qualitative literature review to identify the characteristics of adaptive educational management models. Technological dynamics require educational leaders to possess digital literacy capacity, strategic sensitivity to change, and the ability to integrate digital tools into managerial and pedagogical processes. The literature review indicates that transformational and distributive leadership models offer a strong conceptual foundation for creating a culture of innovation, collaboration, and evidence-based decision-making.

Ethics in Using Artificial Intelligence for Communication: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
Artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed the modern communication landscape by offering various conveniences and efficiencies. However, the use of this technology also raises complex ethical challenges. This study aims to analyze the ethical benefits and risks of using AI in communication and identify necessary mitigation strategies. The method used was a systematic literature review of 20 scientific publications from 2021-2025 that discuss the ethical aspects of AI in various communication contexts. The results show that AI provides significant benefits in personalizing services, increasing the efficiency of business communications, expanding access to education and mental health services, and optimizing the user experience. However, the implementation of AI also presents serious risks related to data privacy and security, algorithmic bias that can lead to discrimination, a lack of transparency in decision-making, and the potential for copyright infringement and the spread of misinformation. To minimize these risks, ethical practices are needed that include transparency and accountability in AI implementation, the development of comprehensive regulations and ethical standards, and increasing public digital literacy. This study concludes that the use of AI in communication must be based on a strong ethical framework involving collaboration between technology developers, policymakers, and the public to ensure this technology provides optimal benefits while protecting the fundamental rights of users.

The Role of Social Media in the Formation of Adolescent Identity: A Review of Psychology and Popular Culture
Social media has become a fundamental element in the lives of modern adolescents, playing a significant role in the process of identity formation in the digital era. This study analyzes how social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube influence adolescent identity construction from the perspectives of developmental psychology and popular culture. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, the study involved four adolescents aged 16-18 in Semarang City through in-depth interviews and observations of digital activities. The findings indicate that social media plays a dual role as a means of positive identity exploration and a source of psychological distress. Adolescents use digital platforms to experiment with various roles and lifestyles, but often become trapped in a false image to gain external validation. The process of identity formation is influenced by the dynamics of identity exploration and commitment, with social media providing a broad space for self-discovery but also creating the risk of identity conflict due to social comparison and popular cultural pressures. The study identified that adolescent girls are more vulnerable to negative impacts related to body image and beauty standards, while adolescent boys tend to focus on achievement and social recognition. Contextual factors such as family background, digital access, and local cultural values play a significant role in shaping adolescents' social media experiences. The results emphasize the need for structured digital literacy education and psychological support to help adolescents navigate the complexities of digital identity in a healthy and authentic manner.

Analysis of Campaign Materials for Billboards of Regent Candidates to Increase Electability in the 2024 Banggai Regency Election
The 2024 regional elections (Pilkada) have their own unique characteristics, one of which is the emergence of young figures who have directly entered the world of politics. One of the campaign media used is billboards, which are spread across various cities in Indonesia. Billboards are outdoor media commonly used by presidential and legislative candidates to convey campaign messages. Generally, campaigns are conducted thematically and tailored to specific objectives. By starting the campaign early, candidates hope to attract sympathy and gain support from the public. The purpose of this study is to determine the semiotic meaning of photos in Giring's campaign billboards as a candidate for President in 2024. The focus of this research is how the visual meaning in the billboards is analyzed using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach with a qualitative descriptive method. In general, semiotics can be defined as the study of signs, including the elements of the signifier and the signified. Roland Barthes stated that the sign system reflects societal assumptions in the context of a particular time and place. In semiotic analysis, there are three main concepts in understanding visual meaning: denotation, connotation, and myth.

Podcast Trends as an Alternative Medium of Independent Journalism: a Study of Audience Perceptions of the Redibility and Objectivity of Information
Independent journalism podcasts are now seen as a highly credible source of information, often even more trusted than mainstream media. This is due to the transparency of the narratives presented, consistency in topic selection, and freedom from pressure from certain parties, which allows for the delivery of broader and more diverse perspectives. Audiences rate independent podcasts as relatively objective, although the personal opinions of the podcasters remain influenced. A presentation style that combines conversational formats and storytelling techniques creates emotional intimacy, strengthens trust, and builds listener loyalty. Topics that are current and relevant, presented in a relaxed yet informative manner, are a unique attraction that distinguishes podcasts from conventional media. However, challenges remain, particularly in verifying information and the potential for personal bias, which can affect the accuracy and objectivity of the content. Therefore, audience media literacy is crucial so they can critically review the information they receive. With all their advantages, independent podcasts have the potential to enrich the media ecosystem by providing a more diverse alternative source of information, provided they maintain ethical standards, openness of sources, and transparency in every aspect of their production process.

Effectiveness of Government Communication in Delivering Public Policy on Social Media
This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of government communication in conveying public policies through social media. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of content analysis of official social media accounts of government agencies, in-depth interviews with key informants, and online observation of public involvement. The results of the study indicate that the effectiveness of government communication on social media still varies between agencies, influenced by communication strategies, language styles, and forms of content presentation. Policy messages are often delivered formally and less communicatively, so they are not fully understood by the public. Two-way interaction is also still limited, resulting in low responsiveness to public comments and questions. Supporting factors for communication effectiveness include the professionalism of the management team, consistency of uploads, and the use of attractive visual content. Meanwhile, the obstacles faced include low digital literacy of the apparatus, limited communication budget, and the absence of standard digital communication guidelines. This study recommends the need for a more humanistic and participatory communication approach so that the delivery of public policies can be more effective and impactful.

Government Crisis Communication Strategies in Dealing with Misinformation in the Digital Era
This research aims to understand in depth the crisis communication strategies implemented by the government in dealing with misinformation in the digital era. The rapid spread of misinformation in the digital space is a serious challenge, especially in crisis situations that demand fast, accurate, and reliable communication responses. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, focusing on government institutions that have a strategic role in public communication, such as the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Kominfo) and the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB). Data was collected through in-depth interviews with key informants, documentation studies, digital media observations, and analyzed using qualitative content analysis through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results show that although the government has utilized social media as the main channel in crisis communication, challenges such as limited message reach, lack of coordination between agencies, and low public trust still hinder the effectiveness of the strategy. Cross-sectoral cooperation, people's digital literacy, and the role of credible and trained spokespeople are key factors in building information resilience and increasing public trust during crises. Therefore, an adaptive, transparent, and data-based crisis communication strategy is indispensable to maintain social stability in the midst of dynamic digital information flows

The Role of Media in Promoting Sustainable Tourism Practices
This research is entitled The Role of Media in Promoting Sustainable Tourism Practices, which aims to understand the contribution of the media in increasing tourist awareness of the concept of sustainable tourism. The method used in this study is Systematic Literature Review (SLR), which allows the collection, analysis, and synthesis of various relevant research in a systematic manner.

However, there are several challenges in the implementation of media as a means of promoting sustainable tourism, including greenwashing practices that can mislead tourists and low awareness of sustainability among industry players. Therefore, collaboration between the government, industry players, and the public is needed in optimizing the role of the media to support socially responsible, economic, and environmentally responsible tourism practices. With the right strategy, the media can be an important instrument in ensuring the sustainability of the tourism sector and providing long-term benefits for all stakeholders

Data from this study was taken through a google form survey with respondents as many as 100 Instagram followers @official.jasamarga. The results of this study show that the Sig (2-tailed) value between the variables of information quality and event marketing with the image of each company is 0.000 where this value is smaller than 0.005 and it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between the variables of information quality and event marketing on the company's image. Informative content is recognized as important in shaping positive perceptions, while event marketing strategies such as "Jumat Kuis" are effective in building positive interactions. Nevertheless, the study highlights areas that need further attention, such as increasing information related to rest areas and toll tariff discounts in the content presented.

Husband and Wife Communication Patterns in Periode Baby Blues Syndrome
This study focuses on interpersonal communication in married couples, especially during the period of baby blues disorder. The approach used is social penetration theory. The study aims to describe the interpersonal communication patterns formed through the process of communication and support in husband and wife relationships during the period of baby blues syndrome. The case study method was used with data collection through interviews with five women who had given birth for the first time and had experienced postnatal baby blues disorder. The results showed that the interpersonal communication process in this period is usually started by the wife with an attitude of self-opening. Through interaction with the husband, the wife defines the form of support provided by the husband, both verbally and non-verbally, as a positive reaction to the self-opening that has been done. This communication pattern forms a cycle in each couple, showing that the four couples tend to have balanced and equal communication patterns. Husbands were involved mainly in providing instrumental support related to childcare and household activities. However, in one other couple, the communication pattern was considered unbalanced due to the lack of support from the husband, so the wife sought support from her female friends who also experienced similar baby blues.

Dalam dinamika komunikasi antar budaya, peran budaya dan hukum memiliki signifikansi yang tak terelakkan. Budaya, sebagai kerangka nilai, norma, dan praktik yang membentuk perilaku dan makna komunikasi, memengaruhi secara substansial interaksi antar individu atau kelompok dari latar belakang budaya yang berbeda. Di sisi lain, hukum, sebagai instrumen pengatur perilaku dan hubungan sosial dalam masyarakat, memiliki peran krusial dalam menangani konflik yang timbul dari perbedaan budaya. Pentingnya menghadirkan hukum yang adil yang mempertimbangkan keragaman budaya, adat, dan tradisi dalam masyarakat adalah kunci untuk menjaga harmoni sosial dan menyelesaikan konflik antarbudaya secara adil. Metode penelitian yang tepat untuk menyelidiki hubungan antara komunikasi lintas budaya dan hukum memerlukan pendekatan yang holistik. Pendekatan kualitatif, seperti studi literatur untuk memahami kerangka konseptual, etnografi untuk memahami pengaruh budaya dalam praktik komunikasi dan implementasi hukum, serta analisis konten dokumen hukum dan komunikasi, memberikan wawasan yang mendalam tentang interaksi antara budaya dan hukum. Sementara itu, pendekatan kuantitatif, seperti survei, dapat memberikan data yang dapat diuji secara statistik tentang persepsi dan pengalaman individu terkait komunikasi dan hukum. Pendekatan perbandingan lintas-budaya memungkinkan pemahaman yang lebih mendalam tentang perbedaan dan persamaan dalam praktik komunikasi dan sistem hukum antar budaya. Dengan kombinasi metode kualitatif dan kuantitatif, serta fokus lintas-budaya, penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan pemahaman yang komprehensif tentang kompleksitas hubungan antara komunikasi dan hukum dalam konteks budaya yang beragam.

Penerapan Social Penetration Theory Dalam Kehidupan Sehari-Hari
Ilmu komunikasi, sebagai salah satu disiplin ilmu sosial, memfokuskan kajiannya pada fenomena human communication, yang dalam perspektif ontologis ilmu komunikasi disebut sebagai obyek forma ilmu. Fenomena ini terjadi pada beberapa level konteks, seperti interpersonal, group, public or rhetoric, organizational, dan mass. Salah satu teori yang menjelaskan fenomena human communication pada level interpersonal adalah teori penetrasi sosial atau Social Penetration Theory, yang diusulkan oleh Irwin Altman dan Dalmas Taylor. Teori ini menggambarkan pola pengembangan hubungan yang melibatkan proses penetrasi sosial, di mana individu bergerak dari komunikasi superficial ke komunikasi yang lebih intim. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus untuk mengeksplorasi penerapan Social Penetration Theory dalam konteks kehidupan sehari-hari. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dan observasi partisipan, lalu dianalisis menggunakan pendekatan analisis tematik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa teori penetrasi sosial memperlihatkan tahapan-tahapan proses komunikasi yang melibatkan pembukaan diri dari tingkat yang dangkal hingga yang lebih dalam, dan penerapan teori ini dapat ditemui dalam berbagai hubungan interpersonal. Meskipun memiliki kelebihan dalam memahami dinamika hubungan interpersonal, teori ini juga memiliki kelemahan dalam mempertimbangkan faktor-faktor lain yang memengaruhi pengungkapan diri. Penelitian ini memberikan pemahaman yang lebih mendalam mengenai teori penetrasi sosial serta implikasinya dalam konteks kehidupan sehari-hari.

Anominitas Dan Kebebasan Berpendapat Di Media Sosial
Fenomena anonimitas dalam media sosial memunculkan dampak positif dan negatif yang signifikan. Dari segi positif, anonimitas memberikan ruang ekspresi tanpa identitas, memungkinkan pengguna untuk mengekspresikan isi hati mereka dengan bebas. Ini tidak hanya memperkaya kreativitas dalam menulis tetapi juga memberikan kebebasan berekspresi yang lebih besar. Namun, di sisi lain, anonimitas juga membawa dampak negatif seperti ketidakpercayaan diri individu dalam menunjukkan identitas, penggunaan anonimitas untuk tujuan tidak senonoh atau penyebaran trik yang merugikan, serta kesulitan dalam mengontrol batas yang dapat mengarah pada perilaku berbahaya. Anonimitas juga meningkatkan risiko penyalahgunaan informasi yang dapat mengarah pada kejahatan cyber, merugikan pemilik asli informasi, atau pihak terlibat.Dengan mayoritas pengguna internet di Indonesia aktif menggunakan media sosial, permasalahan dalam jejaring sosial sering terjadi. Kurangnya kesadaran akan etika dalam berkomunikasi di media sosial menjadi penyebab utama permasalahan ini. Ujaran kebencian sering muncul dan menimbulkan konflik. Oleh karena itu, penting untuk berinteraksi di media sosial dengan bahasa yang sopan dan memperhatikan etika komunikasi guna menghindari konflik yang tidak diinginkan.
