Current Issue
Volume 7, Number 1 of the Scientific Journal of Communication Studies (J-SIKOM) presents a variety of cutting-edge studies in the field of communication science that reflect the dynamics of digital media, popular culture, and contemporary communication practices in Indonesia. This edition features articles using quantitative, qualitative, and systematic literature reviews. They explore strategic issues such as visual communication on social media, digital expression through video editing applications, and the role of platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube in shaping audience behavior, perceptions, and information needs.
Furthermore, this edition explores marketing communications, public relations, and corporate social responsibility within organizational and industrial contexts, including analyses of consumer loyalty, corporate communication strategies, and institutional image. Critical perspectives are also presented through semiotic analyses of advertisements and musical works, enriching understanding of meaning, symbols, and representation in popular culture.
This edition, focusing not only on digital media, also includes studies on interpersonal communication, leadership, and social dynamics such as cultural adaptation, the spiral of silence on social media, and media framing in news reporting. With the diversity of themes, J-SIKOM Volume 7 Number 1 is expected to be a relevant scientific contribution to the development of communication studies, especially in understanding the transformation of communication in the digital era and its implications for society.
