Abstract
At a time when everyone is using social media, new media gives people a new form of communication, digital communication. In the present digital communication, it has completely different characteristics from traditional media and changes people’s lives imperceptibly. People are no longer focused on the content of newspapers or magazines but more focused on global and personal content. Media is no longer something only professionals can use. Everyone can become a celebrity on the Internet. This essay analyzes the characteristics of digital communication brought by new media and what impression and harm it brings to creators, users, and advertisers, respectively. According to the research findings, social media has the characteristics of diversity, real-time, globalization and personalization. It gives creators a wider range of creative space, makes it easier for advertisers to find their target audience, and allows users to improve their Internet experience. While providing internet convenience, there are also risk of network security.
