The study employs the use and effect theory, utilizing a descriptive qualitative method. Data collection techniques include interviews, observations, and documentation. The results indicate that the social media used by the village government in Bulu Cina has not been effective in delivering the Covid-19 vaccination campaign. The ineffectiveness is attributed to several external and internal obstacles that hinder the optimal dissemination of the campaign message to the Bulu Cina community. The village government needs to pay attention to certain aspects when delivering campaign messages through social media, and the residents of Bulu Cina village also need to improve their use of social media.</p> Cindy Dwi Tania M.

This research adopts the theory of group cohesiveness, emphasizing personality traits as the foundation of group strength. The research method employed is qualitative and descriptive, with data collection techniques involving in-depth interviews, observations, and documentary studies. Respondents include the founder, chairman, central administrator, creative team, and members of the Geonusantara Community. The research findings indicate that the internal communication process and communication strategies within this community adopt a two-way communication model. Additionally, internal communication obstacles were identified, such as differences in perception and seniority attitudes among members. This study provides profound insights into the dynamics of visual communication within the Geonusantara photography community.</p> Ika Mandasari Syahminan Syahminan Ismail Ismail Copyright (c) 2024 Ika Mandasari, Syahminan Syahminan, Ismail Ismail https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-11-15 2023-11-15 3 2 49 54
