This chapter addresses the subject of communication during the digital age. The chapter begins by defining the terminologies that touch on the subject of communication, such as mass communication and mass self-communication. The history of communication is also outlined at the beginning of the chapter. According to the chapter, the advent of digital media has changed mass communication in a big way. The transformations that have had a defining role in social media are also explored in this chapter. Also, these transformations are responsible for the convergence of modern communication. This paper summarizes the main points in the chapter titled “Communication in the Digital Age.” According to the chapter, the technological transformation that has had a significant impact on digital media is subject to various digital innovations. These digital innovations include computer networks, high-capacity-broadband transmissions, internet access, and computer software. Furthermore, the audiences or communication consumers have undergone major transformations in the recent past. For instance, the media is heavily commercialized, and audiences are identified along cultural lines. Some of these transformations have prompted citizens across the world to seek for less commercialized communications outlets that accommodate consumer control and freedom. The chapter also addresses the shift from mass communication to mass self-communication through processes such as the convergence of modes. This shift involves incorporation of different modes of communication into one communication channel. A notable effect of communication transformation is the takeover of local stations by big television networks. Consequently, local television stations have lost their ability to produce content for their targeted demographics. Radio stations have followed a similar path and lost touch with their localities. Overall, the media focus on culturally diverse populations has been abandoned in favor of mass-self communication. Mass self-communication ignores the needs of different cultural groups by trying to merge several groups into a single category. Most of the times, this trend is fueled by commercialization and the need to reach ‘mass’ audiences. There are several manifestations of self mass-communication in today’s digital media platforms. For example, although television is still an important communication avenue, its mode of connecting to its audiences has changed considerably. For example, scheduling and means of distributing television broadcasts have since changed to include online and downloadable means. The same trend applies to print media where means of distributing and accessing print media have changed. According to the readings in this chapter, the transformation of communication is a major contributor to globalization. Also, these forms of transformation have created reliable communication between local and global audiences. Nevertheless, some forms of free communication have created problems for governments that seek to effect censorship. Other governments and political outfits have embraced the new forms of communication in their daily activities. For instance,
