Abstract

The development of information and communication technology has triggered a significant transformation in the way individuals and societies communicate. Digital media has not only become a channel for message delivery but also shapes the way people think, interact, and construct social meaning. In this context, digital literacy should not be understood merely as the technical ability to use digital devices, but also as a communicative competence that involves critical understanding of content, context, and the impact of digital communication. This article aims to fundamentally examine the role of digital media in shaping communicative digital literacy and how this concept becomes an essential part of contemporary communication studies. Through a qualitative-descriptive approach and literature review, this study maps the conceptual framework of digital media from a communication science perspective, including the shift from one-way communication to interactive and participatory communication models. The article also discusses the role of digital media in mediating social relationships, meaning-making processes, and identity formation in digital spaces. Communicative digital literacy is emphasized as the ability not only to access and disseminate information but also to understand the dynamics of digital communication ethically, critically, and reflectively. The findings show that understanding the fundamentals of digital media—including the characteristics of digital mediation, algorithms, and patterns of virtual interaction—is an essential component in developing communicative digital literacy. The main contribution of this article is to provide a theoretical foundation for designing adaptive, critical, and inclusive communication strategies in the digital era. Thus, strengthening digital literacy from a communication science perspective becomes a strategic step in addressing the increasingly complex communication challenges of the digital society.

Abstract

The rapid development of information and communication technology in the last decade has fundamentally transformed the paradigm of information production and distribution. The traditional “one-to-many” communication model that characterized conventional media has shifted toward a “many-to-many” configuration, enabling broader public participation in content creation and dissemination. This phenomenon signifies the emergence of an open, interactive, and decentralized digital communication ecosystem. The transformation is driven by media convergence, the rise of social media platforms, and the emergence of new actors such as content creators, citizen journalists, and influencersthat blur the boundaries between information producers and consumers. This study aims to analyze how the paradigm of information production and distribution has shifted in the digital era by examining the roles of actors, production processes, and algorithmic distribution mechanisms. A qualitative research approach is employed to explore the dynamics of digital media in Indonesia by integrating theories of media convergence, media ecology, and digital communication ethics. The findings indicate that algorithms have become new gatekeepers in digital platforms, determining visibility and reach while creating a paradox between popularity and information quality. Moreover, the study reveals a significant change in audience behavior, with a growing preference for audiovisual formats that compel news organizations to adopt multiplatform production strategies. However, this shift also triggers a crisis of authority and ethics in information distribution due to the proliferation of unverified content. Therefore, effective media convergence management and digital literacy are essential to maintain credibility and uphold social responsibility in the digital ecosystem. Ultimately, the research concludes that the paradigm shift in digital communication is not merely technological but epistemological, requiring a redefinition of journalistic professionalism, ethical values, and public information governance.
