Gojek is a technology company that provides on-demand online transportation services in Indonesia. In an increasingly competitive digital industry, companies must implement integrated, value-oriented marketing communications. In this study, sponsorship is not only recognised as a short-term promotional tool, but also as a communication strategy capable of building brand image, increasing brand awareness and strengthening long-term relationships with the community. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical methodology. Data were collected through a literature review and documentation of Gojek's sponsorship practices, particularly in social and educational fields. The results demonstrate that Gojek's sponsorship is integrated with other IMC elements, including digital media, public relations, and corporate social responsibility programmes. Sponsorship significantly contributes to shaping a positive brand image, increasing brand awareness and building consumer trust and loyalty.</em></p> 2026-06-30T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Arsy Hafiidu Tyasepti, Indri Yunita Sari, Salwa Setyawan Nisa, Devrin Keysa Salsabilla Novia, Jauhar Wahyuni https://communicatorsphere.org/index.php/communicatorsphere/article/view/155 Representasi Dukungan Emosional dan Nilai Keluarga dalam Film Dear Nathan Series 2: Hello Salma 2026-06-08T15:35:51+07:00 Putri Halim fitrianisuci525@gmail.com Aditya Dimas Pratama adityadimas@unmuhjember.ac.id <p>Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh pentingnya representasi dukungan emosional dan nilai keluarga dalam film yang mengangkat isu kesehatan mental remaja. Film Dear Nathan Series 2: Hello Salma menampilkan relasi antara Nathan dan Rebecca dalam konteks pemulihan emosional serta dinamika keluarga. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis representasi peranan dan dukungan emosional Nathan terhadap Rebecca serta nilai-nilai keluarga yang direpresentasikan melalui perubahan sikap Rebecca setelah proses penyembuhannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode analisis semiotika Roland Barthes yang mengkaji makna denotasi, konotasi, dan mitos pada beberapa adegan kunci. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara denotatif Nathan digambarkan sebagai sosok pendukung dan penyelamat, secara konotatif merepresentasikan empati dan kedewasaan emosional, serta pada tingkat mitos membangun konstruksi maskulinitas yang suportif. Selain itu, perubahan sikap Rebecca merepresentasikan keluarga sebagai ruang dialog, penerimaan, dan dukungan emosional. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa film tersebut membangun makna baru tentang empati dan keluarga dalam konteks sosial. Penelitian selanjutnya disarankan menggunakan pendekatan resepsi audiens untuk memperluas perspektif makna.</p> 2026-06-30T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Putri Halim, Aditya Dimas Pratama https://communicatorsphere.org/index.php/communicatorsphere/article/view/158 Jaringan Komunikasi Perbincangan Boikot McDonald's Akibat Perang Israel dengan Iran di Twitter/X 2026-05-21T09:39:18+07:00 Miftakhul Fikri miftahulfikri24@gmail.com Yoka Pradana yokapradana@telkomuniversity.ac.id <p>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis jaringan komunikasi dalam perbincangan boikot McDonald's pada platform X sebagai respons terhadap isu konflik antara Israel dan Iran. Perkembangan konflik geopolitik global mendorong munculnya diskursus digital yang berkembang cepat melalui media sosial termasuk ajakan boikot terhadap perusahaan global yang diasosiasikan dengan konflik internasional. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode Social Network Analysis untuk memetakan mengidentifikasi aktor sentral, kelompok komunikasi dan karakteristik jaringan percakapan digital. Data penelitian diperoleh melalui proses scraping tweet yang mengandung kata kunci #boikotmcd kemudian diolah dalam bentuk node dan edge menggunakan perangkat lunak Gephi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jaringan komunikasi percakapan boikot terbentuk melalui dominasi akun yang berperan sentral seperti akun @convomfs sebagai pusat penyebaran informasi dan penggerak utama diskusi publik. Percakapan juga terbagi ke dalam 905 kelompok kecil yang menunjukkan adanya fragmentasi komunitas digital dan struktur jaringan yang memperlihatkan hubungan yang luas tetapi tidak padat. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa platform X berfungsi sebagai ruang pembentukan opini publik yang dipengaruhi oleh aktor sentral, pola kelompok percakapan serta kecepatan distribusi informasi dalam merespons isu internasional.</p> 2025-06-30T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Miftakhul Fikri, Yoka Pradana https://communicatorsphere.org/index.php/communicatorsphere/article/view/173 Pressures on Journalists in the Digital Age: A Systematic Review 2026-07-01T05:17:56+07:00 Surokim Surokim surokim-2024@fisip.unair.ac.id Rachmah Ida rachmah.ida@fisip.unair.ac.id <p>Journalistic operating conditions have profoundly transformed in the digital era. Beyond established political and institutional pressures, journalists contend with new constraints from digital platforms, online harassment, and media economic restructuring, raising critical concerns for press freedom, autonomy, and sustainable news production. While scholarly focus on these pressures has grown, the literature remains fragmented across disciplines, geographies, and themes. This study synthesizes research on journalistic pressures via a systematic literature review of Scopus-indexed, peer-reviewed publications. Adhering to PRISMA 2020 guidelines, the review analyzes 637 articles (1984-2024), examining temporal trends, research production patterns, disciplinary distributions, and thematic evolution. Findings show rapid scholarship growth in the last decade, mirroring intensified concerns over digital hostility, platform visibility, and economic shifts. Research production is concentrated in Global North institutions, indicating persistent imbalances. Five dominant themes emerge: political/institutional pressures, digital harassment/networked hostility, organizational/economic constraints, journalists' psychological impacts, and digital platforms' influence. By mapping four decades of scholarship, this study offers an integrated perspective on pressures in digitally mediated societies, identifying crucial avenues for future research in journalism and communication studies.</p> 2026-07-13T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Surokim Surokim, Rachmah Ida
