https://endless-journal.com/index.php/endless <p><strong>ENDLESS: International Journal of Future Studies</strong> with e-ISSN: <a href="https://issn.brin.go.id/terbit/detail/1615532870" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2775-9180</a> is a globally-oriented, trans-disciplinary refereed journal. Its mission is to develop high-quality, future-oriented research and thinking, based on the evolving knowledge base of Futures Studies/Foresight. The Journal’s approach is: – Trans-disciplinary – Epistemologically diverse, seeking articles from empirical, interpretative, critical and action learning research traditions, and; – Multi-methods based, including, for example, methods such as emerging issues analysis, scenario and alternative futures development and analysis, age-cohort analysis, causal layered analysis, visioning and backcasting; As well as refereed articles, the Journal publishes essays, book reviews, symposia, and art on the following topics: – Epistemologically focused futures studies on the construction of possible, probable and preferable futures; – Methodological innovation in futures studies, including not only integrated, layered, and critical approaches, but also empirical, interpretive, or action-learning based approaches; – Applied Futures (for example, case studies in using and practicing futures thinking for organizational change, development, and transformation); – Alternative futures on a variety of subjects (see topic categories below). The journal is published by the Institute of Futures Studies, Global Writing Academica Research and Publishing. Contributions The editors invite contributors in the areas of foresight, forecasting, long-range planning, visioning and other related areas, from any of the main research frameworks of futures studies – empirical, interpretative, critical, and action learning. The journal invites contributions that offer distinctive viewpoints on a broad range of futures and field-oriented issues. Articles, essays, and reports are expected to show an in-depth understanding of the field’s dimensions, content, research perspectives, and methods. To stimulate the systematic use and growth of futures literature, one of the criteria for publishing in the journal is indicating how the article relates to others in the literature of the future. That is, your paper should refer to material published in this journal and in the other journals in the futures field (including, <strong>ENDLESS: International Journal of Future Studies</strong>, Futures, Foresight, Technological Forecasting, and Social Change, The European Journal of Futures Research, World Future Review, On the Horizon) as well as futures material contained in books, monographs, other field related journals, including visual resources and web resources. Editors strongly advise authors to cite at least two or more works in the futures field.</p> Global Writing Academica Researching & Publishing en-US ENDLESS: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FUTURE STUDIES 2775-9180 https://endless-journal.com/index.php/endless/article/view/363 <p>Press freedom, as a pillar of democracy, continues to face serious threats through practices of intimidation against journalists, both physical and digital. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to examine academic literature and reports from international institutions for the period 2021–2025 regarding the forms of threats, impacts, and strategies for protecting journalists. The study results show that intimidation occurs in the form of physical threats, symbolic terror, and digital attacks such as doxing, sexual harassment, online mobs, and hacking. These threats result in psychological trauma, self-censorship, and a decline in the quality of investigative reporting, thus eroding press freedom and, consequently, democracy. Collective coping strategies in newsrooms have proven helpful, while technological innovations based on automated detection offer preventative measures, although they still require transparency and strong regulations. In the Indonesian context, journalists face a combination of physical, digital, and symbolic threats, highlighting the high vulnerability of independent media. Thus, multidimensional protection through strong legal regulations, collective solidarity, and technological support is needed to enable the press to fulfill its function as a pillar of democracy.</p> Ayunda Ganesha Gita Riani Rahma Vita Sari Copyright (c) 2026 ENDLESS: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FUTURE STUDIES https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2026-01-06 2026-01-06 9 1 1 9 10.54783/endlessjournal.v9i1.363 https://endless-journal.com/index.php/endless/article/view/364 <p>The rapid development of technology today plays an important role in life, especially in the field of education. The FitAcademy Application is one of the developing digital platforms that requires promotion and visual improvement. Based on the results of the analysis carried out by the previous author, motion graphics are a promotional tool that has the potential to convey promotional messages and can bridge the density of information and audience attention. This design uses the design thinking method which goes through 5 stages of empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test for a deeper understanding of the target audience of the design. Through Jobs to Be Done, a solution statement was obtained that this design will display the advantages of the FitAcademy Application, as well as build the perception that the FitAcademy application is here to support user needs activities. The results of the trial work show that the design created is able to meet user expectations in finding a learning application that suits their needs, both in terms of visual elements and the promotional messages conveyed.</p> Edwar Juanda Wilsa Pratiwi Rizal Bay Khaqi Copyright (c) 2026 ENDLESS: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FUTURE STUDIES https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2026-01-15 2026-01-15 9 1 10 40 10.54783/endlessjournal.v9i1.364
