What Is Digital Media?
Digital refers to anything that involves a computer. Media are communication tools such as newspapers,
TV, magazines, and radio. So the term digital media refers to communication tools that involve a
computer in some way.
Technically, listening to the radio from your laptop or reading the newspaper on your tablet counts as
digital media, but the term is evolving to mean something different. Like broadcast media (TV, radio,
newspaper), digital media can send information to many people at once. But digital media forms also
invite interaction—posting a comment, rating shows on Netflix, and posting photos on Instagram, for
example.
The other characteristic that makes digital media different from other kinds of media is that people tend to
form groups with it. Your Facebook friends are the most obvious example.
