Why Digital Media?
The digital realm offers to many what was once not possible—near limitless access to every corner of the world. As we become more connected to the world around us, we are exposed to more perspectives, approaches, and ways of living that impact the way we see ourselves in this ever-changing landscape. Digital media has the power to unite us through common experience and has the potential to transform the way we think, live and work. These tools offer us an opportunity to understand each other, coordinate our collective actions and offer innovative solutions in response to complex social problems.
