Hello there,

Digital journalism, also known as online journalism, is a contemporary form of journalism where editorial content is distributed via the Internet, as opposed to publishing via print or broadcast. It's advantage is that the information goes paperless. Every piece of update received is through electronic media hence saving the environment. With apps available for every newspaper, Media companies can contribute to utilizing natural resources sustainably. It also has some disadvantages like fabricated content or hoax. A sudden wave of fake news hits a wider part of global population when circulated through digital platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp. Concern about misinformation and disinformation remains high despite efforts by leading online journalism platforms to build public confidence.

Hope this information helps you.
Good luck!!
