Social Media Framing Efforts to Increase Public Trust in the Indonesian Parliamentary in Highlighting the Palestinian issue on @Dpr_Ri
Abstract
A parliamentarian's posts on social media will affect the public's perception of a politician's performance.This research analyses the strategic framing mechanisms employed by the @dpr_ri social media team to gauge that effect.The researcher used a descriptive-qualitative method with interviews with parliamentary social media editors @dpr_ri such as copy writing, editorials, editor-in-chief of social media and reporters who are in charge of creating framing in the digital public space. Researchers looked at how Parliament's social media editors created framing for followers through Instagram content. The manager of the Parliament's social media account has tried to increase public trust in parliamentary experts on the @dpr_ri Instagram account through the Indonesian parliament towards the Palestinian issue. The results of the interview with the editor of the parliamentary media explained that Fadlizon's statement as a parliamentary expert on the Palestinian issue at the International "Plenary Meeting" forums uploaded on social media succeeded in creating a public framing that the government is serious about providing support for the Palestinian independence. Four respondents from the Parliament social media editorial succeeded in creating public framing through social media content so that it had an impact and increased public trust in the Indonesian Parliament. As a people's representative, his words uploaded on people-oriented social media can help increase public trust in the Indonesian Parliament.
Keywords: Parliamentary expert, public communication, political content, social media framing, development communication.
