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.

Evaluation of ambient air quality conditions in Dobut Village, Manokwari, through a spatial approach based on 12 monitoring points. The parameters measured in this study consisted of PM₂.₅, NO₂, and SO₂ during the dry season. The data analysis used the Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) interpolation method. The existing results show that most areas of Dobut Village have air quality in the "good - moderate" category, but there are several points with PM₂.₅, NO₂, and SO₂ concentrations within the threshold approaching the WHO limit, namely around the industrial center area located in the suburban location. This study emphasizes the importance of spatial-based air quality monitoring in rural areas that are starting to develop in mobility and infrastructure. The measurement results show that the suburban zone has higher PM₂.₅, NO₂, and SO₂ concentrations than the urban area. This is a comparison that has been the general assumption that suburban areas are cleaner. This area has a higher concentration due to industrial activities and vehicle activities by residents and industrial workers in Dobut Village so that the area becomes unclean.

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.

The Role of Digital Marketing in Expanding Market Access for Local Agribusiness Products

Malta — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Limited market access remains a major challenge facing local agribusinesses, primarily due to reliance on conventional marketing channels and a weak bargaining position within the marketing chain. Advances in digital technology present new opportunities for agribusinesses to transcend geographic boundaries, expand consumer reach, and increase product visibility amidst increasingly competitive markets. However, the utilization of digital marketing has not been fully optimized due to the impact of internal business capacity and the structural dynamics of the agribusiness market itself. This study aims to analyze the role of digital marketing in expanding market access for local agribusiness products and encouraging market inclusion and a desire to do business. This study uses a qualitative approach, reviewing and analyzing various scientific literature sources and previous research relevant to the theme of digital marketing and local agribusiness. The results indicate that digital marketing serves as an alternative channel capable of expanding market reach and strengthening interactions between agribusinesses and consumers. The effectiveness of digital marketing utilization depends heavily on the readiness, ability, and experience of agribusinesses in consistently managing digital channels. In the medium to long term, digital marketing has the potential to drive broader market inclusion and support local agribusiness aspirations by increasing income stability and strengthening business actors' positions within the market structure.
