This study analyzes anti-women content on YouTube to understand the types, volume, and potential harms of misinformation campaigns. Through a content analysis of videos, channels, and discussions networks, we identified common anti-women tropes including claims about feminism, gender politics, relationships, and women - men relationship. The sample of this study (N=100) was drawn from popular videos matching relevant keywords. Videos were coded for message framing. Results show an availability of wide range videos spreading anti women videos. Most of these videos are dominated by male speakers. This study provides empirical evidence that YouTube is a vector for organized misinformation targeting women, with concerning real-world implications. It is imperative for this platform to curb harmful anti-women propaganda using content moderation and algorithm governance.</p> Md. Rifat Mahmud Raiyan Bin Reza Copyright (c) 2024 Md.

This study is a qualitative study. The data source of this study is the thematic text in the mid-semester exam of journalism students in 2021.Data was collected by analyzing the students' test text using the document checklist. Let it be, there are six uses to be seen, the answers being what, who, where, when why and how. The results showed that out of 16 news tests taken by students, only 6 students fully answered factor 5w 1h. While the other 10 people did not answer all the items 5w 1h in their article, 2 people did not answer how, 4 people did not answer why, 1 person did not answer who, 4 people did not answer when. Meanwhile, everyone answers what and where. The data reveal why these ten news reports were incomplete, because their reports focused not on a single event but on two or three events that they mentioned in their reports. These students do not start the newsletter with important information but discuss other related topics besides current events. As a result, the discussion in the newsletter is not focused and therefore the 5w 1h factor is no longer taken into account.</p> Rani Autila Copyright (c) 2024 Rani Autila https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-06-25 2024-06-25 3 1 9 17 10.38043/commusty.v3i1.5054 Discourse about The News of Ibu Kota Negara (IKN) Indonesia on Instagram: Discourse Analysis on The Posts of @detikcom Account https://journal.undiknas.ac.id/index.php/commusty/article/view/5053 <p style="font-weight: 400;">The dissemination of information related to reporting on the Ibu Kota Negara (IKN) has been carried out by several national media accounts one of which is the @detikcom.
