On the surface, one would think that digital media is not much better than other innovations that have happened over the years.
Digital media has a significant advantage that no other innovation has. This advantage is how easily digital media can be shared, stored, copied and changed.
Since its entry into the market, digital media has generated a lot of innovation in many industries in the economy.
Some of the most heavily impacted industries are. education, journalism, entertainment, publishing, etc.
Even though digital media innovation in many sectors of the economy is truly enormous, it does not seem that this will end any time soon.

THE MOVIE INDUSTRY

At the same time, the presence of digital media has caused a great deal of change in many sectors of the economy. Its impact in the film business is very easy to understand.
Digital media has taken the film industry from the era of analog film cameras to the era of digital cameras only.
This innovation certainly has both positive and negative sides. One of its advantages is it is economical.
Due to the presence of digital media, it has become much easier to distribute films- this can be done with only one click of a buttons.
Well, its downside is that it has driven some people out of work.
Many dangerous stunts that had to be executed in order for the films to appear real are no longer necessary because they can be done digitally.

JOURNALISM

The film industry is not the only economic sector that has been influenced by digital media.
Journalism is a sector where the emergence and impact of digital media is very evident.
Digital media seems to have caused more harm than good for journalism.
This has led to job losses for many people due to reduced relevance of print media.
While the loss of jobs that has resulted in loss of relevance in the print media is wrong, worse still, many large newspapers had to close their doors because of the bankruptcy.
On the other hand, the emergence of digital media has created jobs in the journalistic sector. However, these jobs are only accessible to those who are digitally literate.
