Analisis Isi 3 Video Pada Channel Youtube @Ferryirwandi Terkait Peristiwa Demo Agustus 2025
Abstract
This study analyzes Ferry Irwandi's perspective as a content creator in constructing meaning through verbal narratives presented in three videos related to the August 2025 demonstration uploaded on the @ferryirwandi YouTube channel, employing qualitative content analysis with an interpretive paradigm. Ferry positions himself as a content creator who builds credibility through data, logic, and in-depth analysis. Implicitly, Ferry serves as an opinion leader in shaping public understanding of sociopolitical issues in Indonesia through the YouTube platform. The findings reveal that Ferry Irwandi views the August 2025 demonstration as a considerably complex situation. Ferry believes there are orchestrators of unrest attempting to impose a state of military emergency in Indonesia through engineered conditions. From his perspective, Ferry perceives that Indonesian society possesses the capacity to confront this political crisis; however, he also views the discourse on increased parliamentary allowances amid economic hardship and the incompetence of law enforcement institutions, particularly in Affan Kurniawan's tragic death, as critical failures that exacerbate the situation. Ferry believes the actual solution is not complicated if the government demonstrates genuine commitment. This study uncovers phenomena related to the #WargaJagaWarga movement as a form of digital activism that transforms public "resistance" from street protests to digital media. Keywords: content analysis, content creator, new media
