LEARNING OUTCOME 3.2 Analyse how the choice of digital media format influences the kind of information accessed/ transmitted.
CHAPTER OVERVIEW
All digital media content is created by a person who decides what to leave in and what to take out. This will influence the style and substance of the content and determine how it is presented to the intended audience. Understanding the theme, purpose and intended audience can help us become more informed consumers. Another way we can analyse digital media is by examining how it is distributed to the public. Media can be classed as formal or informal. Formal media outlets are traditional ways of receiving information, such as online newspapers and government websites. Informal media outlets are less traditional ways of receiving information such as blogs, vlogs, social media and YouTube videos. 98
