Abstract

The process of transmitting a message so that another individual or group of people gets the intended meaning is known as communication. It is also critical for human civilization to advance further. Digital and information technologies are fast expanding these days, resulting in new information and news distribution channels known as digital media, such as websites and social media. This allows people to get information from a variety of sources and at a faster rate than traditional media such as print, radio, and television. News can be imported into digital media by anyone, not only news organizations. The general people can also help bring stories to digital media. As a result, people should be aware of the truth and know how to properly seek the facts on their own, as well as the hidden implications of those importers, in order to make an informed appraisal of the information.
