Digital media these days promotes just about anything and everything. The internet has a huge influence on everyone. When someone wants more information on something or wants to put their opinion out there, where do they go? The internet. People also like hearing other people’s opinions on certain issues which is why they go to different forums and blogs. People also go to these different types of websites to promote their own thoughts and opinions. Another good website for these types of things is YouTube. You can get whatever you want to say out there for everyone to see. Since it’s such a popular website people are bound to see your video and listen to your opinion and comment on it, whether they agree or disagree. I think it’s also a good way for people to catch the “young adults” attention with important issues that they wouldn’t pay attention to otherwise, such as on the news or in the newspaper. Facebook is another good website for this. President Barack Obama used Facebook during his campaign. On his Facebook page he talked about isssues that would be of concern to the main Facebook audience. By reaching out through digital media, it supposedly helped him win the race. People want change. The main way they get idea’s and accept change is through the media these days. So I definitely think digital media is a good way to get through to people, especially if it’s something that you feel strongly about.
Here is just an example on someone trying to promote the “Going Green” movement.
