Digital media has become one of the most prevalent, if not the most prevalent, modes of expression in modern society. Print/film media served the purpose of allowing messages and ideas to spread, but the speed of this spreading was significantly dependent on the speed at which the media could be printed, published, and manually distributed through magazines, books, and other physical collections. The spread of digital media is remarkably fast compared to print media, mainly due to the birth of the internet. By sharing a video, image, article, or any form of idea online, it can reach thousands of people in seconds rather than taking days to reach the public in print form. This new mode of spreading media has allowed social movements, such as Black Lives Matter, to gain much more support worldwide than they would have through local campaigns alone. It also allows the general public to be more personally connected to the ideas and actions of politicians, instantly holding them accountable when corruption begins to pry away the interests of the people in the government.
