Through a discussion of digital media's social influence and the changes of media habits we have discussed the extent to which society has been changed. Through the qualitative research method, examples of social activism and participatory journalism through the use of digital media such as the internet and satellite broadcast in Africa, the Middle East, and in Asia were used to provide a comprehensive view of digital developments. This process allowed for a closer look at the comprehensive effects of digital media on modern society. This investigation led to results on how and why media habits have changed due to the social influence that digital media possesses. This research showed that society now expects information to be readily available. It was found that modern media habits have created an active audience and a new digital public square filled with online activism.
