Representasi Kepemimpinan Populis Dedi Mulyadi dalam Konten Tempo
Main Article Content
Abstract
The development of information and communication technology has influenced political dynamics and leadership styles in Indonesia, including the emergence of populist leadership styles that emphasize emotional closeness between leaders and people. This study aims to analyze the representation of Dedi Mulyadi's populist leadership style through a video entitled “Populism Policy of West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi” produced by Tempo. The method used is critical discourse analysis with a qualitative approach based on Norman Fairclough's three dimensions, namely text analysis, discourse practices, and social practices. The results show that the video builds an image of Dedi Mulyadi's leadership as a populist figure, adaptive to digital technology, and integrates local cultural values in his organizational communication. The use of cultural analogies and symbolic visualizations strengthens the narrative of authoritative leadership rooted in local wisdom. In addition, the video also illustrates the dynamics of organizational communication involving families and utilizing social media to expand the reach of political communication. This research contributes to understanding how digital media shapes public perceptions of populist leadership styles at the local government level, as well as the role of organizational communication in managing image and political legitimacy.
