I don’t think it’s a surprise to anyone that most of the news people consume in our society is digital. The idea of digital everything is where our society has been moving toward for many years now. To heck with print newspapers, even my grandma gets Fox News alerts on her iPhone 7s plus. According to… Continue reading Digital Media Isn’t Going Away
Whoa, the state of news media is eye-opening. It is definitely a digital world. Pew research’s data clearly proves that: 93% of the population in the U.S. receives their news through online sources.
