The Indigenous Ethnics in this area consist of Lampung, Javanese, Minang, and Malay. Indonesia has a mixed population of racial and ethnic origins. Ethnicity, language, geography, and customs of each region make up the domestic background which includes indians, chinese, european, and arabs from outside Indonesia. Chinese and Indigenous Ethnics are represented in this study by ethnicity. The research uses a qualitative approach, data obtained from observations and interviews with 24 informants. The data analysis technique includes several stages, namely collection, reduction, and display of data. The findings show that the communication between the Chinese and the Indigenous Ethnics language use, if the Chinese communicate with Chinese, they use the Hokkien dialect for social relations/economic relations to support everyday life. In daily social activities, communication and social connections underpin economic relationships. Communication in social interaction must be managed properly or it will become a latent danger to the community’s harmony. The recommendation to the local government is to practice one day of the week to speak the local language and respect indigenous ethnicity.

K-Pop fans who occupy a fandom are known as K-Popers. This present study explains the representation of identity in essence, as according to Hall - is related to the use of language, and represents a “blurring” of meaning by a cultural industry aiming for commercialisation. The result of this research shows the process of blurring meaning by talent agencies that produce K-Pop idols as the main product that represent them by carrying important values that will be adapted and consumed by fans with strong loyalty and emotional connection. The agency is a cultural business industry that sells its “products” such as K-Pop idols that they have introduced to fans, and refers to their “existence” that is consumed by fans. This study used a virtual ethnographic approach with data collection techniques through participant observation and interviews. Each of these main products has its own unique concept as every fan will feel special and exclusive as K-Pop music is a sense of \"individuality\" developed by the K-Pop culture and industry. Based on the results of observations on Instagram, we can find various types of fans to describe how they adapt the meaning that is sold by the agency through the products they sell.

Malaysia is currently ranked with the highest obesity population in Southeast Asia, a clear indication that intervention campaigns implemented to improve the obesity conundrum in the past have met with little success. Although studies have shown that parents exercise considerable influence on nutrition and eating habits of children, their information-seeking habits in their position as decision makers of the household remains a significant oversight. Therefore, effective health communication strategies in the media targeted towards this segment highlight the importance of child obesity prevention information, particularly among low-income groups in urban communities. This study examined media and communication strategies on child obesity by exploring how parents negotiate information to ensure children abide by healthier practices. In doing so, a diary study was conducted to observe behaviours of the target group in dealing with information on child obesity on a daily basis. The result of the study is congruent with the assumption that parents have great potential to organically formulate child obesity prevention plans with their extent of exposure towards media messages. Henceforth, the role of media is seen as a highpoint in creating awareness on health communication strategies that can further engage and assist Malaysian parents for a more sustainable future for their children.

Global journalism trends studies have also affected journalism studies across Southeast Asian countries, such as Indonesia and Malaysia. Journalism studies in both countries are inseparable from the culture of journalism and related research. The culture of journalism and research is associated with social, political, and academic dynamics, which have prompted significant changes in recent times. Indonesia and Malaysia are geographically and culturally close countries, exhibiting strategic positions in Southeast Asia. The current research aims to discover the trends in journalism studies in Indonesia and Malaysia and their comparisons. The present study employed the bibliometric method, and the data were retrieved from Web of Science Core Collection (WoS) using VOSviewer. The results suggested several similarities and differences between the two countries' documents, hinting at future trends in journalism studies in both countries. The topic trends and research collaborations are also discussed in this paper. The present study provides an overview of future trends in journalism studies in Indonesia and Malaysia based on data from their journalism studies over the last twelve years.

Multicultural identity is a significant predictive factor in assessing intercultural communication competence. Cultural competencies are essential in today’s businesses. This research is a systematic attempt to look into the antecedents of these constructs in Malaysian educational contexts given the growing importance of educators’ involvement in society's integration. Multicultural factors complement Intercultural communication skills, and this has an impact on the development and effectiveness of organisations/institutions as well as success and performance at work. These attributes are surprisingly underrated in their careers. The role of multicultural identity in determining intercultural communication competency is addressed using Amiot et al. (2007) and Barrett et al. (2013) indicators, respectively, using the structural equation modelling. Therefore, 350 respondents were chosen via the purposeful sampling method by employing a self-administered survey. The findings asserted the importance of cultural competency of educators, especially in settings where both students and faculty members come from different cultural backgrounds. The results supported the hypothesis that the endogenous construct of intercultural communication competence can be used to predict multicultural identity. Any multiracial organisation or institution can replicate the factors and instruments used in this study. By identifying the predicted factors, the research has significantly contributed to controlling and optimising the communication performance of ethnically diverse organisations.

With the difference in political caste between the two candidates, this study aims to dissect the practice of messages presented by two local newspapers in Surakarta, Solopos and Radar Solo towards the independent candidates. This study deployed Norman Fairclough's critical analysis method with approaches and paradigms of Vincent Mosco's political economy media theory. The results concluded Radar Solo tended to favor Gibran Rakabuming Raka in terms of choices and sentences presented to the audience. Meanwhile, Solopos chose a more neutral stance for both candidates. Messages presented by Solopos and Radar Solo need to provide a balanced space for the Bagyo Wahyono-FX Suparjo pairing. Various factors, such as the lack of optimal use of the Bagyo Wahyono-FX Suparjo pairing of media as a means of campaigning and the lack of a personal campaign agenda, influence this balance. Another significant finding is that there is a design and a more significant political interest behind one's appearance, which makes the dynamics of the Surakarta City Election run in vain.

Oleh itu, kajian ini telah mengenal pasti tahap keterlibatan khalayak dan strategi mesej kesihatan dalam kempen poster diabetes oleh KKM, serta menganalisis bentuk penggunaan imej dan strategi mesej kesihatan dalam kempen poster tersebut. Kajian ini bersandarkan kepada teori Extended Parallel Process Model (EPPM) yang mempunyai empat elemen strategi mesej, iaitu “seruan untuk bertindak”, “mengajar tentang solusi”, “mengajar tentang risiko” dan “mengajar tentang solusi dan risiko”.
