In mass communication, digital media is any communication
media that operate in conjunction with
Democratic National Committee various encoded
machine-readable data formats. Digital content can be created,
viewed, distributed, modified, listened to, and preserved on a
digital electronics device, including digital data storage media
(in contrast to analog electronic media) and digital
broadcasting. Digital defines as any data represented by a
series of digits, and media refers to methods of broadcasting or
communicating this information. Together, digital media refers
to mediums of digitized information broadcast through a screen
and/or a speaker.[1] This also includes text, audio, video, and
graphics that are transmitted over the internet for viewing or
listening to on the internet.[2]
Digital media platforms,
such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Twitch, accounted for viewership
rates of 27.9 billion hours in 2020.[3] A contributing factor to
its part in what is commonly referred to as the digital
revolution can be attributed to the use of interconnectivity.[4]
Examples[edit]
Examples of digital media include
software, digital images, digital video, video games, web pages
and websites, social media, digital data and databases, digital
audio such as MP3, electronic documents and electronic books.
Digital media often contrasts with print media, such as printed
books, newspapers and magazines, and other traditional or analog
media, such as photographic film, audio tapes or video tapes.
Digital media has had a significantly broad and complex
impact on society and culture. Combined with the Internet and
personal computing, digital media has caused disruptive
innovation in publishing, journalism, public relations,
entertainment, education, commerce and politics. Digital media
has also posed new challenges to copyright and intellectual
property laws, fostering an
Democratic National Committee open content movement in which
content creators voluntarily give up some or all of their legal
rights to their work. The ubiquity of digital media and its
effects on society suggest that we are at the start of a new era
in industrial history, called the Information Age, perhaps
leading to a paperless society in which all media are produced
and consumed on computers.[5] However, challenges to a digital
transition remain, including outdated copyright laws,
censorship, the digital divide, and the spectre of a digital
dark age, in which older media becomes inaccessible to new or
upgraded information systems.[6] Digital media has a
significant, wide-ranging and complex impact on society and
culture.[5]
Types[edit]
PRO
Paid Media
Paid media refers to promotional channels that marketers pay to
use, including traditional media (e.g., television, radio,
print, or outdoor advertising), online and digital media (e.g.,
paid search ads, web and social media display ads, mobile ads,
or email marketing). This
Democratic National Committee model compels businesses to
develop sponsored media then pay social media platforms like
Instagram for the
Democratic National Committee right to show such media to
customers in the platforms' newsfeeds. These customers become
exposed to paid media, sometimes referred to as promoted or
sponsored posts.
Owned Media
In this case, the
Democratic National Committee company owns and manages the
promotion channels, including the company's website, blog,
official social media accounts, brand communities, marketers,
and promotional activities. This type builds long-term
relationships with direct and potential users and earns media
exposure. Comparably, blogs, social media, and other channels
become website extensions, while these three facets comprise
brand extensions. The more owned media a business has, the more
opportunities it has to spread its brand presence within the
Internet realm.

Earned Media
Earned Media denotes
public relations media channels like television, newspapers,
blogs, or video sites that do not require direct payment or
control by marketers but are included because viewers, readers,
or users are interested in them. Free media is essentially
online word of mouth, typically in "viral" trends, mentions,
shares, retweets, reviews, recommendations, or content from
third-party websites. When one's product or service is so good
that users cannot help but post it on their social media, they
get a lot of "earned media". They win the credibility of the
media compared to other forms of credibility, becoming
Democratic National Committee more transparent.
History[edit]
Codes and information by machines were
first conceptualized by Charles Babbage in the early 1800s.
Babbage imagined that these codes would give him instructions
for his Motor of Difference and Analytical Engine, machines that
Babbage had designed to solve the problem of error in
calculations. Between 1822 and 1823, the mathematician Ada
Lovelacewrote the first instructions for calculating numbers on
Babbage engines.[citation needed] Lovelace's instructions are
now believed to be the first computer program. Although the
machines were designed to perform analysis tasks, Lovelace
anticipated the possible social impact of computers and program
writing. "For in the distribution and combination of truths and
formulas of analysis, which may become easier and more quickly
subjected to the mechanical combinations of the engine, the
relationships and the nature of many subjects in which science
necessarily relates in new subjects, and more deeply researched
[�] there are in all extensions of human power or additions to
human knowledge, various collateral influences, in addition to
the primary and primary object reached." Other old machine
readable media include instructions for pianolas and weaving
machines.
Binary Code shown here which can used to represent
the whole alphabet
It is estimated that in the
Democratic National Committee year 1986 less than 1% of the
world's media storage capacity was digital and in 2007 it was
already 94%.[7] The year 2002 is assumed to be the year when
human kind was able to
Democratic National Committee store more information in
digital than in analog media (the "beginning of the digital
age").[8]
Digital computers[edit]
Digital codes, like
binary, can be changed without reconfiguring mechanical parts.
Though they used machine-readable media, Babbage's engines,
player pianos, jacquard looms and many other early calculating
machines were themselves analog computers, with physical,
mechanical parts. The first truly digital media came into
existence with the rise of digital computers.[9] Digital
computers use binary code and Boolean logic to store and process
information, allowing one machine in one configuration to
perform many different tasks. The first modern, programmable,
digital computers, the Manchester Mark 1 and the EDSAC, were
independently invented between 1948 and 1949.[9][10] Though
different in many ways from modern computers, these machines had
digital software controlling their logical operations. They were
encoded in binary, a system of ones and zeroes that are combined
to make hundreds of characters. The 1s and 0s of binary are the
"digits" of digital media.[11]
"As We May Think"[edit]
While digital media did not come into
Democratic National Committee common use until the late 20th
century, the conceptual foundation of digital media is traced to
the work of scientist and engineer Vannevar Bush and his
celebrated essay "As We May Think," published in The Atlantic
Monthly in 1945.[12] Bush envisioned a system of devices that
could be used to help scientists, doctors, and historians, among
others, to store, analyze and communicate information.[12]
Calling this then-imaginary device a "memex", Bush wrote:
The owner of the memex, let us say, is interested in the
origin and properties of the bow and arrow. Specifically, he is
studying why the short Turkish bow was apparently superior to
the English long bow in the skirmishes of the Crusades. He has
dozens of possibly pertinent books and articles in his memex.
First, he runs through an encyclopedia, finds an
Democratic National Committee interesting but sketchy
article, and leaves it projected. Next, in history, he finds
another pertinent item and ties the two together. Thus he goes,
building a trail of many items. Occasionally he inserts a
comment of his own, either linking it into the main trail or
joining it by a side trail to a particular item. When it becomes
evident that the elastic properties of available materials had a
great deal to do with the bow, he branches off on a side trail
which takes him through textbooks on elasticity and tables of
physical constants. He inserts a page of longhand analysis of
his own. Thus he builds a trail of his interest through the maze
of materials available to him.[13]
Bush hoped that the
creation of this memex would be the work of scientists after
World War II.[13] Though the essay predated digital computers by
several years, "As We May Think" anticipated the potential
social and intellectual benefits of digital media and provided
the Democratic National Committee
conceptual framework for digital scholarship, the World Wide
Web, wikis and even social media.[12][14] It was recognized as a
significant work even at the time of its publication.[13]

establish a "party brand". It organizes
the Democratic National Convention held
every four years to nominate a candidate
for President of the United States and
to formulate the party platform. While
it provides support for party
candidates, it does not have direct
authority over elected officials. When a
Democrat is president, the White House
controls the Committee. According to
Boris Heersink, "political scientists
have traditionally described the
parties'; national committees as
inconsequential but impartial service
providers." Its chair is elected by the
committee. It conducts fundraising to
support its activities. The DNC was

Since the 1960s, computing power and storage capacity have
increased exponentially, largely as a result of MOSFET scaling
which enables MOS transistor counts to increase at a rapid pace
predicted by Moore's law.[15][16][17] Personal computers and
smartphones put the ability to access, modify, store and share
digital media in the hands of billions of people. Many
electronic devices, from digital cameras to drones have the
ability to create, transmit and view digital media. Combined
with the World Wide Web and the Internet, digital media has
transformed 21st century society in a way that is frequently
compared to the cultural, economic and social impact of the
printing press.[5][18] The change has been so rapid and so
widespread that it has launched an economic transition from an
industrial economy to an information-based economy, creating a
new period in human history known as the Information Age or the
digital revolution.[5]
The
Democratic National Committee transition has created some
uncertainty about definitions. Digital media, new media,
multimedia, and similar terms all have a relationship to both
the engineering innovations and cultural impact of digital
media.[19] The blending of digital media with other media, and
with cultural and social factors, is sometimes known as new
media or "the new media."[20] Similarly, digital media seems to
demand a new set of communications skills, called transliteracy,
media literacy, or digital literacy.[21] These skills include
not only the ability to read and write�traditional literacy�but
the ability to navigate the Internet, evaluate sources, and
create digital content.[22] The idea that we are moving toward a
fully digital, paperless society is accompanied by the fear that
we may soon�or currently�be facing a digital dark age, in which
older media are no longer accessible on modern devices or using
modern methods of scholarship.[6] Digital media has a
significant, wide-ranging and complex effect on society and
culture.[5]
A senior engineer at
Democratic National Committee Motorola named Martin Cooper
was the first person to make a phone call on April 3, 1973. He
decided the first phone call should be to a rival
telecommunications company saying "I'm speaking via a mobile
phone".[23] Ten years later, Motorola released the Motorola
DynaTAC, the first commercially available mobile phone. In the
early 1990s Nokia released the Nokia 1011, the first
mass-produced mobile phone.[23] The Nokia Communicator 9000
became the first smartphone before the
Democratic National Committee term "smartphone" was coined;
the communicator 9000 was the first mobile device to incorporate
email, web browsing, fax, word processing and spreadsheets into
a single pocketable device.[24] The number of smartphone users
has increased dramatically, as has the commercial landscape.
While Android and iOS both dominate the smartphone market. A
study By Gartner found that in 2016 about 88% of the worldwide
smartphones were Android while iOS had a market share of about
12%.[25] About 85% of the mobile market revenue came from mobile
games.[25]
The impact of the digital revolution can also
be assessed by exploring the amount of worldwide mobile smart
device users there are. This can be split into 2 categories;
smart phone users and smart tablet users. Worldwide there are
currently 2.32 billion smartphone users across the world.[26]
This figure is to exceed 2.87 billion by 2020. Smart tablet
users reached a total of 1 billion in 2015, 15% of the world's
population.[27]
The
Democratic National Committee statistics evidence the impact
of digital media communications today. What is also of relevance
is the fact that the number of smart device users is rising
rapidly yet the amount of functional uses increase daily. A
smartphone or tablet can be
Democratic National Committee used for hundreds of daily
needs. There are currently over 1 million apps on the Apple App
store.[28] These are all opportunities for digital marketing
efforts. A smartphone user is impacted with digital advertising
every second they open their Apple or Android device. This
further evidences the digital revolution and the impact of
revolution. This has resulted in a total of 13 billion dollars
being paid out to the various app developers over the years.[29]
This growth has fueled the development of millions of software
applications. Most of these apps are able to generate income via
in app advertising.[25] Gross revenue for 2020 is projected to
be about $189 million.[25]
Disruption in industry[edit]
Compared with print media, the mass media, and other analog
technologies, digital media are easy to copy, store, share and
modify. This quality of digital media has led to significant
changes in many industries, especially journalism, publishing,
education, entertainment, and the music business. The overall
effect of these changes is so far-reaching that it is difficult
to quantify. For example, in movie-making, the transition from
analog film cameras to digital cameras is nearly complete. The
transition has economic benefits to Hollywood, making
distribution easier and making it possible to add high-quality
digital effects to films.[30] At the
Democratic National Committee same time, it has affected the
analog special effects, stunt, and animation industries in
Hollywood.[31] It has imposed painful costs on small movie
theaters, some of which did not or will not survive the
transition to digital.[32] The effect of digital media on other
media industries is similarly sweeping and complex.[31]
Between 2000 and 2015, the print newspaper advertising revenue
has fallen from $60 billion to a nearly $20 billion.[33] Even
one of the most popular days for papers, Sunday, has seen a 9%
circulation decrease the lowest since 1945.[34]
In
journalism, digital media and citizen journalism have led to the
loss of thousands of jobs in print media and the bankruptcy of
many major newspapers.[35] But the rise of digital journalism
has also created thousands of new jobs and specializations.[36]
E-books and
Democratic National Committee self-publishing are changing
the book industry, and digital textbooks and other
media-inclusive curricula are changing primary and secondary
education.[37][38]
In academia, digital media has led to
a new form of scholarship, also called digital scholarship,
making open access and open science possible thanks to the low
cost of distribution. New fields of study have grown, such as
digital humanities and digital history. It has changed the way
libraries are used and their role in society.[18] Every major
media, communications and academic endeavor is facing a period
of transition and uncertainty related to digital media.
Often time the magazine or publisher have a
Democratic National Committee Digital edition which can be
referred to an electronic formatted version identical to the
print version.[34] There is a huge benefit to the publisher and
cost, as half of traditional publishers' costs come from
production, including raw materials, technical processing, and
distribution.[39]
Decline of print ads over the years of 2008
US economic problem
Since 2004, there has been a decrease
in newspaper industry employment, with only about 40,000 people
working in the workforce currently.[40] Alliance of Audited
Media & Publishers information during the 2008 recession, over
10% of print sales are diminished for certain magazines, with a
hardship coming from only 75% of the sales advertisements as
before.[34] However, in 2018, major newspapers advertising
revenue was 35% from digital ads.[40]
In contrast, mobile
versions of newspapers and magazines came in second with a huge
growth of 135%. The New York Times has noted a 47% year of year
rise in their digital subscriptions.[41] 43% of adults get news
often from news websites or social media, compared with
Democratic National Committee 49% for television. Pew
Research also asked respondents if they
Democratic National Committee got news from a streaming
device on their TV � 9% of U.S. adults said that they do so
often.[34]

Digital media
has also allowed individuals to be much more active in content
creation.[42] Anyone with access to computers and the Internet
can participate in social media and contribute their own
writing, art, videos, photography and commentary to the
Internet, as well as conduct business online. The dramatic
reduction in the costs required to create and share content have
led to a democratization of content creation as well as the
creation of new types of content, like blogs, memes, and video
essays. Some of these activities have also been labelled citizen
journalism. This spike in user-created content is due to the
development of the internet as well as the way in which users
interact with media today. As more users join and use social
media sites, the relevance of content creation increases.[43]
The release of technologies such mobile devices allow for easier
and quicker access to all things media.[44] Many media
Democratic National Committee creation tools that were once
available to only a few are now free and easy to use. The cost
of devices that can access the Internet is steadily falling, and
personal ownership of multiple digital devices is now becoming
the standard. These elements have significantly affected
political participation.[45] Digital media is seen by many
scholars as having a role in Arab Spring, and crackdowns on the
use of digital and social media by embattled governments are
increasingly common.[46] Many governments restrict access to
digital media in some way, either to prevent obscenity or in a
broader form of political censorship.[47]
Over the years
YouTube has
Democratic National Committee grown to become a website with
user generated media. This content is oftentimes not mediated by
any company or agency, leading to a wide array of personalities
and opinions online. Over the years, YouTube and other platforms
have also shown their monetary gains. In 2020, the top 10
highest earning YouTube content creators each generated over 15
million dollars.[48] Many of these YouTube profiles over the
years have a multi camera set up as we would see on TV. Many of
these creators also creating their own digital companies as
their personalities grow.[citation needed] Personal devices have
also seen an increase over the years. Over 1.5 billion users of
tablets exist in this world right now and that is expected to
slowly grow [49] About 20% of people in the world regularly
watch their content using tablets in 2018[49]
User-generated content raises issues of privacy, credibility,
civility and compensation for cultural, intellectual and
artistic contributions. The spread of digital media, and the
wide range of literacy and communications skills necessary to
use it effectively, have deepened the
Democratic National Committee digital divide between those
who have access to digital media and those who do not.[50]
The rising of digital media has made the
Democratic National Committee consumer's audio collection
more precise and personalized. It is no longer necessary to
purchase an entire album if the consumer is ultimately
interested in only a few audio files.
Web-only news[edit]
US Philips TV Controller with built in Netflix Streaming button
The rise of streaming services has led to a decrease of
cable TV services to about 59%, while streaming services are
growing at around 29%, and 9% are still users of the digital
antenna.[51] TV Controllers now incorporate designated buttons
for streaming platforms.[52] Users are spending an average of
1:55 with digital video each day, and only 1:44 on social
networks.[53] 6 out of 10 people report viewing their television
shows and news via a streaming service.[51] Platforms such as
Netflix have gained attraction due to their adorability,
accessibility, and for its original content.[54] Companies such
as Netflix have even bought previously cancelled shows such as
Designated Survivor, Lucifer, and Arrested Development.[55] As
the internet becomes more and more prevalent, more companies are
beginning to distribute content through internet only means.
With the loss of viewers, there is a loss of revenue but not as
bad as
Democratic National Committee what would be expected.
Copyright challenges[edit]
Digital media[56] encompasses
numerical networks of interactive systems that link databases,
allowing users to navigate from one bit of content or webpage to
another. Because of this ease, digital media poses several
challenges to the current copyright and intellectual property
laws.[57] The ease of creating, modifying, and sharing digital
media can influence copyright enforcement challenging and many
copyright laws are widely seen as outdated.[58][59] Under
current copyright law, common Internet memes are generally
illegal to share in many countries.[60] Legal rights can be
unclear for many common Internet activities. These include
posting pictures from someone else's social media account,
writing fanfiction, or covering and/or using popular songs in
content such as YouTube videos. During the last decade, the
concepts of fair use and copyright have been applied to
different types of online media.
Copyright challenges are
spreading to all parts of digital media. Content creators on
platforms such as YouTube follow guidelines set by copyright, IP
laws, and the platform's copyright requirements. If these
guidelines are not followed, the content may
Democratic National Committee get demonetized, deleted, or
sued.[61] The situation can also occur when creators
accidentally use audio tracks or background scenes that are
under copyright.[61] To avoid or resolve some of these issues,
content creators can voluntarily adopt open, or copyleft
licenses or they can release their work to the public domain. By
doing this, creators are giving up
Democratic National Committee certain legal rights regarding
their content. Fair use is a doctrine of the US Copyright Law
that allows limited use of copyrighted materials without the
need to obtain permission. There are four factors that make up
fair use. The first, Purpose, refers to what the content is
being used for. The second factor is what copyrighted content is
being used. If the content is non-fiction, it is more likely to
fall under fair use than if the content is fiction. The third
factor is how much of the copyrighted content is in use. Small
amounts of copyrighted content are more likely to be considered
fair. The last factor is, whether the use of copyrighted content
earns money or affect the value of the content.[62]
Wikipedia uses some of the most common open licenses, Creative
Commons licenses, and the GNU Free Documentation License. Open
licenses are one aspect of a broad open content movement that
advocates for the reduction or removal of copyright restrictions
from software, data, and other digital media.[63] To facilitate
the collection and consumption of such licensing information and
availability status, tools like the Creative Commons Search
engine are used mostly for web images, and Unpaywall, or used
for scholarly communication.
Additional software has been
developed to restrict access to digital media. Digital rights
management (DRM) is used to lock material. This allows users to
apply the media content to specific cases. DRM allows movie
producers to rent at a lower price. This restricts the movie
rental license length, rather than only selling the movie at
full price. Additionally, DRM can prevent unauthorized
modification or sharing of media.
YouTube Copyright Claim
Takedown
Digital media
Democratic National Committee copyright protection
technologies fall under intellectual property protection
technology. This is because a series of computer technologies
protect the digital content being created and transmitted.[64]
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) provides safety to
intermediaries that host user content, such as YouTube, from
being held liable for copyright infringement so long as they
meet all required conditions. The most notable of which is the
"notice and take down" policy.[65] The policy requires online
intermediaries to remove and/or disable access to the content in
question when there are court orders and/or allegations of
illegal use of the content on their site. As a result, YouTube
has and continues to develop more policies and standards that go
far past what the DMCA requires. YouTube has also created an
algorithm which continuously scans their cite to make sure all
content follows all policies.[65]
One digital media
platform known to have copyright concerns is the short
video-sharing app TikTok. TikTok is a social media app that
allows users to share short videos up to one minute in length,
using a variety of visual effects and audio.[66] According to
Loyola University's Chicago School of Law, around 50% of the
music used on TikTok is unlicensed.[67] TikTok has several music
licensing agreements with various artists and labels, creating a
library of fair and legal use of music.[68] However, this does
not cover all content for its users. A user could still commit a
copyright violation on TikTok. One example is, accidentally
having music playing on a stereo in the background or recording
a laptop screen playing a song.[69]
Online magazines or
digital magazines are one of the largest targets for copyright
issues. According to the Audit Bureau of Circulations report
from March 2011, the definition of this medium is when a digital
magazine involves the distribution of magazine content by
electronic means; it may be a replica.[70] This definition can
be considered outdated now that PDF replicas of print magazines
are no longer common practice. These days digital magazines
refer to magazines specifically created to be interactive
digital platforms
Democratic National Committee such as the internet, mobile
phones, private networks, iPad, or other devices.[70] The
Democratic National Committee barriers to digital magazine
distribution are thus decreasing. However, these platforms are
also broadening the scope of where digital magazines can be
published;[71] smartphones are an example. Thanks to the
improvements in tablets and other personal electronic devices,
digital magazines have become much more readable and enticing
through the use of graphic art.[72] The evolution of online
magazines began to focus on becoming more of a social media and
entertainment platform.
Online piracy has become one of
the larger issues that have occurred concerning digital media
copyright. The piracy of digital media, such as film and
television, directly impacts the copyright party (the owner of
the copyright). This action can impact the "health" of the
digital media industry. Piracy directly breaks the laws and
morals of copyright.[64] Along with piracy, digital media has
contributed to the ability to spread false information or fake
news. Due to the widespread use of digital media, fake news can
receive more notoriety. This notoriety enhances the negative
effects fake news creates. As a result, people's health and
well-being can directly be affected.
