The web and mobile devices have become primary news channels for much of the audience. Digital journalism is the production and distribution of news primarily through online platforms, incorporating text, audio, video, data, and interactive elements.

Digital-native outlets and legacy organizations both practice it. Workflows emphasize continuous updates, search and social distribution, analytics feedback, and multimedia storytelling. The same ethical standards of accuracy, fairness, and independence apply, even though the publishing rhythm is faster and the formats more varied.

Digital tools have lowered barriers to entry and expanded audience reach, while also intensifying competition for attention and complicating verification. Successful digital journalism combines traditional reporting rigor with forms suited to screens and feeds. The craft continues to adapt as platforms and audience habits change.

• News created and distributed mainly online
• Uses text, video, data, and interactive forms
• Emphasizes continuous publishing and audience metrics
