“Public and Government Discourse in Disaster Crisis Communication during Earthquakes in Indonesia: Actor-Network Analysis, Public Sentiment, and Government Communication Strategies.”

Her research provides an in-depth exploration of disaster crisis communication in the digital era. Through actor-network and public sentiment analysis, Dr. Pipit Fitriyah highlights how the interaction between the public and the government shapes crisis narratives, while also formulating government communication strategies that are more inclusive, participatory, and adaptive in the face of disasters.

These insights are not only valuable for strengthening communication theories but also hold practical relevance for governments, media, and society in addressing communication challenges during emergencies.

This achievement stands as a testament to the dedication and commitment of an academic in advancing knowledge while providing benefits to the wider community. The Faculty of Communication Sciences, Universitas Gunadarma, hopes that this success will inspire students, lecturers, and the entire academic community to continue striving for excellence, contributing to the advancement of knowledge, and supporting the progress of the nation.
