The digital media era is marked by a major shift in how information is accessed, produced, and disseminated. The internet and electronic devices such as smartphones enable anyone to become an information producer through social media, blogs, and other digital platforms. Media is no longer dominated by large institutions but also by ordinary individuals, creating a more democratic communication space. Digital communication enables the two-way exchange of messages in the form of text, images, audio, and video, accelerating the dissemination of information and strengthening collaboration across distances. However, challenges such as the spread of hoaxes and the ethical use of digital media still require attention. One form of active community participation is citizen journalism, where individuals cover and share local issues through digital media. This was evident in the OMK Week activities at Liwulagang Parish, which were documented by the OMK team through photos and videos. This documentation aims to preserve archives, serve as material for reflection, and expand publications to the congregation through social media, especially Facebook. The content shared emphasizes the spirituality, solidarity, and creativity of OMK, while also motivating the younger generation to become active in church life. To support citizens' ability to utilize digital media appropriately, journalism training was conducted to increase public understanding of the wise use of social media. The research methods used in this activity included data collection, outreach, and interviews, with results demonstrating the importance of open communication, feedback between presenters and participants, and active community participation.

The birth certificate archive management system at the Central Aceh Population and Civil Registration Office still uses manual methods, which causes data search and storage to be less efficient.

Letter management is one of the important aspects in supporting the efficiency of academic administration in schools. This study aims to explore and understand how letter management at SMA Al-Hidayah Medan can be optimized to improve the efficiency of academic administration. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection through direct observation and interviews with parties involved in the correspondence administration process. The research findings show that SMA Al-Hidayah Medan implements a combined letter management system, namely combining manual and digital management. Incoming and outgoing letters are recorded manually in the agenda book and expedition book, and archived digitally in the school computer system. However, the system used is still limited and has not been fully integrated. The obstacles found include limited human resources who have not fully mastered administration and information technology, weak document supervision, and archiving of physical letters that have not been systematically arranged. In addition, digital archiving which is still conventional without automatic categorization makes the archive search process less efficient. As an optimization effort, the school has implemented a semi-digital system, provided training for administrative staff, compiled letter classification codes, compiled SOPs for letter management, and utilized cloud storage and digitization of old archives. These steps demonstrate institutional awareness to build a more efficient and modern administration system. In conclusion, effective letter management plays a very important role in supporting academic administration, but requires continuous coaching, better digital integration, and strong managerial commitment.

A good archive storage system can be an indicator that a company has done good archive management. If the archive storage system in a company is not well organized, employees will find it difficult to find the documents needed in a short time. The purpose of this research is to find out the storage system used and the steps in storing and finding dynamic archives in one of the companies engaged in insurance. This research uses qualitative methods with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation, and uses non-probability sampling techniques. The results showed that active dynamic archive storage uses a sequential number storage system. However, some parts use two storage systems depending on the  document type. Storing dynamic archives consists of three steps: checking, sorting, and storing. For the step of finding back dynamic archives, there are two ways: manually and digitally. However, no system manages dynamic archives to speed up the retrieval of dynamic archives. For archives that have become inactive archives, they will be submitted to the General Section for further storage at the vendor.

Archives management plays a crucial role in ensuring the accountability of an organization, as proper management of archives can enhance transparency and operational effectiveness. Based on observations made at the Maluku Province Regional Library and Archives Office, several issues were identified within the current archiving system. One of the key problems is the lack of knowledge about proper archives management, which causes significant barriers during the archiving process. The office employs two archivists with high school and diploma (D3) education backgrounds. Although they have attended archives management training, the current system remains ineffective, which in turn affects work efficiency, particularly in the process of searching for archives. In many instances, the required archives are either difficult to locate or entirely missing. This study aims to assess the impact of archives management on work efficiency at the Maluku Province Regional Library and Archives Office. The research employs quantitative analysis with a sample size of 42 employees. Data were collected through a survey method, using a questionnaire to capture relevant information from the participants. Simple linear regression analysis conducted using SPSS 24 revealed that archives management accounts for 35% of the variance in work efficiency, while the remaining 65% is influenced by other factors. The findings suggest that effective archives management has a positive and significant impact on employee work efficiency. Based on the results, several practical implications are suggested: (1) the current archiving system should be maintained and improved for better performance, (2) training and development programs should be implemented to enhance the skills of archivists, (3) archivists should be equipped with specialized skills in archives management to improve overall efficiency, and (4) ongoing coaching and mentorship for archivists should be provided to ensure continuous improvement.
