Abstract The level of a person’s cognitive processing ability is different, which influences how to understand and utilize the knowledge and information obtained from the media. Organizations can assess their knowledge resources and capabilities by conceptually designing strategies to minimize the knowledge gaps, improve performance, and produce various innovations by identifying the knowledge possessed, targets to be achieved, training and collaboration, research, and surveys for knowledge development, etc. The widening of knowledge gaps related to information development, individual attitudes, and behavior that knowledge transfer is needed to minimize the gap. This study aims to identify knowledge gaps between farmer institutions and irrigation bureaucracies. The method used is knowledge gap (K-Gap) analysis by measuring the level of importance of knowledge required against the available resources by scaling the questionnaire Likert Scale. The K-Gap analysis of the knowledge needed and currently available can evaluate performance in the planning and evaluation stages and become one of the decision-making systems in the management of an organization’s internal management, to increase motivation and represent the expectations of all users. The K-Gap value is obtained to indicate the direction of improvement that must be carried out.

Mass media is one of the leading sectors in handling COVID-19. Amidst current health emergency, public trusttowards the information conveyed by the mass media is the key to successful mitigation. Various types of newsregarding massive COVID-19 reports in several media channels have the potential to cause information bias whichends in pros and cons. Insubstantial debates in varied media are counter-productive to the efforts of various partiesin educating the society to avoid misinformation. Based on this, it is important to know the media that are referencesand that gain public trust in seeking information. This study examines the level of public trust in information aboutCOVID-19 in the mass media, both old and new media, using an online questionnaire methodology on May 3, 2020,which was given to 60 respondents. The results show that the respondents’ level of faith in television is higher, but itsconsumption by viewers is much lower than that of online media (news sites and social media). The results showedthat viewers still deemed television a reliable reference for information. From these data it was found out why themedia are rarely used by the people but are able to gain high trust in the eyes of the public. The results of this studyare expected to provide an overview of the attitudes and behavior of the community in understanding COVID-19information so that relevant parties can make appropriate policies in the perspectives of media and communication.

Abstract Recently, conversation on diversity and inclusion has been at the forefront in the media as well as the workplace. Though research has examined how diversity impacts organizational culture and decision-making, little attention has been given to how corporate diversity impacts consumers’ responses to the firm. This article establishes a link between diversity and the perceived morality of market actors. A series of studies demonstrate that greater diversity (racial, gender, or national) in a corporate team leads to perceptions of greater morality of the firm and its representatives and, as a consequence, results in more favorable consumer attitudes and behavior towards the firm. This positive effect arises because consumers perceive diverse teams as possessing higher perspective-taking abilities. Since marketplace morality is concerned with the greater good, we argue that higher perceptions of perspective-taking signal that the team will safeguard the broad interests of the community rather than serve narrow interest groups. The findings have broad implications since consumers are increasingly concerned with moral consumption. Our research suggests that diversity in the workforce is not only important for team performance and social equity but can shape consumers’ sentiments and behaviors towards the firm.

Culture affects every part of our lives, every day, from birth to death, and everything in between (Cateora, Gilly, and Graham 2011). This study discusses the way in which customers acceptance of cultures and products has been greatly affected by the media. This study also investigates how customers acceptance leads to attitudinal and behavioral changes. In particular, this study measures the impact of a cultural wave to examine the attitudinal and behavioral changes it causes. This study explores the causes that affect the willingness of people to change their behavior after exposure to the media. In particular, this study investigates 1) how a cultural wave influences product and cultural awareness, 2) the relationship between perceptions of a cultural wave and peoples attitudes and behavior, and 3) the relationship between the strength of peoples attitudes toward acculturation and changes in attitude and behavior. By applying various statistical analyses, this study identifies managerial and theoretical implications.

<p><em>Th</em><em>i</em><em>s paper aims to explain the role of opinion leader in dakwah activities through the analysis of communication network diffusion. This paper uses a descriptive qualitative method, with a network analysis approach. The results showed that opinion leaders playan important role in accelerating and slowing the process of diffusion of dakwah information. The higher the ability of people to influence others, the higher the effort also in influencing behavior changes that  occur in  that  person.  This is because  the  opinion  leader has the characteristic of making himself a media through innovation into society as a social system. An opinion leader also becomes a reference for media behavior (media behavior). That is, when the opinion leader is a Dai, he is a information disseminator of dakwah information that makes himself as one of the media forming behavior to change the order of values, attitudes, and behavior of people in a systematic and structured. Double role of a Dai to achieve social system changes and realize the life of the people who Sallam, hasanah, and thayyibah, and getting of Ridho Allah SWT.</em></p><p><em>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</em></p><p>Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan peran opinion leader dalam dakwah Islam melalui analisis difusi jaringan komunikasi.

It is argued that media have great impact on human beings. Mass communication was able to persuade the public from cognitive (knowledge) and affective aspects (emotional and feeling) to changes in behavior. These effects are related to each other. This is due to the fact that when people receive messages, they do not immediately accept it, but the messages are filtered with careful consideration. And there are still personal and social factors which determine the extent to which mass media have impacts on changes in human attitudes and behavior. Indeed, humans live in a world that is filled with a variety of needs and interests, in which the  media has a  big role. The people’s  actions may not directly result from the influence of the media. However, it cannot be denied that the global community will increasingly depend on the media.

There is significant current interest in the application of media/psychosocial effects to problems in epidemiology. News reporting has the potential to reach and to modify the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of a large proportion of the community. A susceptible-infected-hospitalized-recovered model with vital dynamics, where media coverage of disease incidence and disease prevalence can influence people to reduce their contact rates is formulated. The media function is incorporated into the model using an exponentially decreasing function. Qualitative analysis of the model reveals that the disease-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when a certain threshold is less than unity. Numerical results show the potential short-term beneficial effect of media coverage.

The growing popularity of social network sites (SNS) is causing concerns about privacy and security, especially with teenagers since they show various forms of unsafe behavior on SNS. Media literacy emerges as a priority, and researchers, teachers, parents and teenagers all point towards the responsibility of the school to educate teens about risks on SNS and to teach youngsters how to use SNS safely. However, existing educational materials are not theoretically grounded, do not tackle all the specific risks that teens might encounter on SNS and lack rigorous outcome evaluations. Additionally, general media education research indicates that although changes in knowledge are often obtained, changes in attitudes and behavior are much more difficult to achieve. Therefore, new educational packages were developed –taking into account instructional guidelines- and a quasi-experimental intervention study was set up to find out whether these materials are effective in changing the awareness, attitudes or the behavior of teenagers on SNS. It was found that all three courses obtained their goal in raising the awareness about the risks tackled in this course. However, no impact was found on attitudes towards the risks, and only a limited impact was found on teenagers’ behavior concerning these risks. Implications are discussed. La creciente popularidad de las redes sociales (RS) está causando preocupación por la privacidad y la seguridad de los usuarios, particularmente de los adolescentes que muestran diversas formas de conductas de riesgo en las redes sociales. En este contexto, la alfabetización mediática emerge como una prioridad e investigadores, profesores, padres y adolescentes enfatizan la responsabilidad de la escuela de enseñar a los adolescentes acerca de los riesgos en RS y cómo utilizarlas sin peligro. Sin embargo, los materiales educativos existentes no están teóricamente fundamentados, no abordan todos los riesgos específicos que los adolescentes pueden encontrar en las redes y carecen de evaluaciones de resultados. Además, estudios acerca de la educación mediática indican que, mientras los cambios a nivel de conocimientos suelen obtenerse fácilmente cambios en las actitudes y el comportamiento son mucho más difíciles de lograr. Por este motivo, nuevos paquetes educativos han sido desarrollados teniendo en cuenta directrices educativas. Posteriormente se llevó a cabo un estudio de intervención cuasi-experimental a fin de verificar si estos materiales son eficaces para cambiar el conocimiento, las actitudes y el comportamiento de los adolescentes en las redes sociales. El estudio constató que los cursos obtienen su objetivo en la sensibilización de los riesgos tratados. Sin embargo, no se observó ningún impacto en las actitudes hacia el riesgo, y el impacto en el comportamiento de los adolescentes en relación con estos riesgos fue limitado. Las implicaciones de este estudio son discutidas.

Undergraduate ethnographers perceive that their peers’ behavior at parties mimics popular culture’s narrative of sex, gender, and college culture. The media accessed by adolescents and young adults depict casual sex as humorous, thrilling, expected, and “no big deal.” Furthermore, popular culture celebrates the college years as the time in life to be wild, drink excessively, and experiment sexually with as many people as possible. Conforming to this lifestyle offers social status and acceptance, and gives students a temporary boost in self-esteem. Excessive alcohol enables students to act in ways they would never comfortably act if sober. After analyzing ethnographers’ perspectives, the author turns to broader social scientific research to offer additional motivations and reasons underlying college students’ attitudes and behavior—hyper-individualism, technology, the ubiquitous use of online porn, and the pervasive pornification of sexuality in U.S. culture.
