SINTESA TEORI KONSTRUKSI SOSIAL REALITAS DAN KONSTRUKSI SOSIAL MEDIA MASSA

The theory of the social construction of reality and the theory of the social construction of mass media are still partially discussed. Several previous pieces of research have not yet correlated, elaborated, or synthesized from the theoretical aspect. Even though much has been said about the social construction of reality, media consumers are heavily influenced by media "made" constructions. The research aims to synthesize the Bergerian theory of social reality construction (Berger and Luckmann) with the Bunginan theory of social reality construction (Burhan Bungin). The method used is a literature study. The results showed that the synthesis of the social construction theory of reality and the social construction of mass media reality produced a thesis understanding of an objective and subjective reality which was sufficiently understood through the social construction theory of mass media reality. This is considering the individual phenomenon which, in all durations of daily life, cannot be separated from the role of social media interaction. They externalize, objectify as well as internalize reality based on mass media references. In the hierarchy, the social construction theory of reality can be placed as a grand theory by considering genealogical aspects, while the social construction theory of mass media reality can be placed as a middle-rank theory. This is of course related to the more universal focus on social construction of reality

Subconscious Buzzer in Strengthening Audience’s Subject Reality Construction Through Social Media Platform Facebook

A very tangible proof of the large impact of social media as the development of communication technology is the buzzer, which is able to influence the subjective reality of users, one of the biggest social media, Facebook. The development of social media interactivity itself also affects how buzzers are created, that is, unconsciously (subconsciously) through social media metaphors. So that the subjective reality of the audience as an output that is influenced by the buzzer becomes stronger. Sampling from the population is done by convenience sampling and data analysis techniques using multilinear regression analysis. Data shows that Facebook's interactivity and social media metaphors influence a 38.9% of the subjective reality of Facebook users on the COVID-19 pandemic issue in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the dimensions of the near and far subjective reality which is a measurement of the construction of subjective reality also become stronger and in line with the interactivity and social metaphors received and done by Facebook social media users

Social Media, Venue and the Right to a Fair Trial

Judicial failure to recognize social media\u27s influence on juror decision making has identifiable constitutional implications. The Sixth Amendment right to a fair trial demands that courts grant a defendant\u27s change of venue motion when media-generated pretrial publicity invades the unbiased sensibility of those who are asked to sit in judgment. Courts limit publicity suitable for granting a defendant\u27s motion to information culled from newspapers, radio, and television reports. Since about 2014, however, a handful of defendants have introduced social media posts to support their claims of unconstitutional bias in the community. Despite defendants\u27 introduction of negative social media in support of their claims, these same courts have yet to include social media in their evaluation of pretrial publicity bias. But social media is media, and as this article demonstrates, trial court judges faced with deciding change of venue motions have a constitutional obligation to include social media in their evaluations. The collective refusal to treat social media the same as biased television, radio, or print media, suggests an erroneous assumption on the part of lower courts that social media is somehow different. This article identifies three reasons as justification for dismissing social media: social media is too recent a medium to fully understand and analyze, social media is not a legitimate news source, and social media is opinion based. Application of pretrial social media publicity to long-standing Supreme Court change of venue doctrine, coupled with its exploration of scientific and social research on social media influence, debunk these lower court rationalizations. This article demonstrates that the reluctance of courts to consider social media evidence when deciding whether to grant a motion for a change of venue is a violation of any defendant\u27s Sixth Amendment right to a fair trial. On a larger scale, the article demands that courts embrace our new reality. Social media intersects with criminal justice, and our daily lives, in ways that demand judicial recognition

A Study of the Dynamics and Trends of Reality Television Program Format and the Relationship of Such Programs with Social Media

In giving the home audience an experience that combines both images and sound, surpassing the potential of the traditional mediums of print and radio, the audience rallying around the television increased by the day. Reality shows originated as a result of the introducing new programme models to the television. Attempts were made to portray real life forms of people in a more realistic way through the reality format. A majority of the audience were inclined towards watching reality programmes and the trend was to see the rise of modern social media activism. Thus, the research problem herein was to analyse whether the strategic use of social media, causes reality television programs to become more popular. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the close association of reality television programs with social media directly influenced the increase in popularity of reality television programs due to recent dynamics and trends in the reality program format. The study was conducted by analytically studying books written on reality shows, research-related information that has been published far and utilizing data on the present context. The use of new technology, especially in reality shows, has changed the face of the realist model. Various data showed that different cultural changes were taking place in each of the social systems in an attempt to attract more audiences apart from reality. The study also establishes that reality themes that originated in the United States may have spread to other parts of the world. The data also reflect that many countries are imitating reality shows produced in the United States.  With the rise of social media in the modern Internet age, all television channels have used social media to promote their programs. Due to the large number of young individuals watching TV shows on social media, reality shows were also broadcasted live on social media and television stations released episodes considered to have the best reach on social media. Accordingly, this study highlights that there is currently no single existence for reality shows without social media activism.      DOI: http://doi.org/10.31357/fhss/vjhss.v07i02.1

Los Medios Sociales como una herramienta estratégica para la Comunicación Corporativa

Companies around the globe are embracing and adapting social media for many different intentions: customer service, marketing, internal communications, public relations or corporate social responsibility, etc. It is now a reality that social media is channging the way stakeholders and companies communicate daily, providing opportunities for collaboration, participation, interactivity, and engagement. Therefore, social media is conceived today in the corporate world as a strategic communication partner, driving new and unique possibilities for organizations to engage stakeholders in conversations. We are witnesses of a new digital era where consumers are becoming active users rather than passive individuals, changing dramatically how society operates. But these useful technological tools are employed widely and precisely by corporations in order to facilitate and improve communications? This research aims to discover the usage of different social media platforms by Puerto Rican companies. A content analysis was performed to the Facebook and Twitter official profiles of the top 400 locally owned Puerto Rican companies of 2009. The principal objective was to find if social media sites were mainly used as a strategic tool for corporate communication that can enhance stakeholder participation and engagement. Results showed that Puerto Rican companies are not employing social media platforms for improving communications with different stakeholders, failing to take advantage of the enormous possibilities that social media has for communication.Instituto de Investigación en Relaciones Pública

Technology and Journalism: 'Dissolving' social media content into disaster reporting on three Chinese disasters

This article examines how three Chinese and two British newspapers sourced content from social media in their coverage of the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake, the 2013 Ya'an Earthquake and the 2015 Tianjin Explosion. The media outlets’ citing of social media content present different patterns in line with their political and commercial interests, ideologies and journalistic values. Diverse images of the three disasters as revealed on social media (social media reality) were constructed in the newspapers’ coverage. Journalists gate-keep information from social media and dissolve it into daily disaster reporting, accepting selected aspects of social media reality but rejecting others. Especially in the case of the Chinese newspapers, meeting the needs of domestic political and commercial interest groups, journalists endorse social media content that is favourable to these groups. In so doing, social media technologies are used and tailored to meet the needs of journalism

Fenomena Hate Speech Di Media Sosial dan Konstruk Sosial Masyarakat

The development of communication technology coupled with the proliferation of social media has changed the paradigm of communicating in today's society. The formation of a virtual society has also made it possible for humans to become whatever they want in cyberspace. Social media in this case has full control over the social reality of society. In the context of the syringe theory, this phenomenon shows that social media users are helpless in the face of a variety of social media content milling about on social media. This helplessness then becomes the potential for the formation of new social constructs in society. Like a double-edged knife, the convenience offered by social media also coincides with the emergence of new social problems such as hate speech and attitudes of intolerance that are expressed through the various content and features available on social media. Although only expressed through social media, hate speech and intolerance on social media also have an impact on the social life of the community and even form a new social reality and construct in society.

Social Reality-Based Arabic Language Learning in Islamic Senior High School

Social reality is an interesting issue in Arabic learning in madrasas because students can connect the subject matter with the phenomenon in the community. The purpose of this study was to analyze the success of MA Sirojut Tholibin Bacem Sutojayan Blitar in implementing social reality-based Arabic learning. It is qualitative research with an exploratory approach and phenomenological analysis. This study used the theory of social reality initiated by Paul Ricoeur (in 1973). The principal of Paul Ricoeur said that human actions in social reality are symbols of language, while these symbols invite certain thoughts and interpretations. The results of this study indicated that MA Sirojut Tholibin had succeeded in implementing social reality-based Arabic learning. The students’ Arabic language competence is increasing through social reality approaches such as learning ethics, juvenile delinquency, and the influence of social media. The learning media used included news articles, newspapers, websites, and scientific articles
