Explanation

The advantages of digital media here are that people can create and distribute media content (2), the end-product can be delivered in real time (3) and reproduction and distribution are less expensive (4).

Being able to create and distribute content (2) empowers ordinary users as producers, not just receivers.

Real-time delivery (3) lets the end-product reach audiences instantly, and cheaper reproduction and distribution (4) lower the cost of spreading information.

The claim that network communication is avoided (1) is false because digital media depend on networks, and that online political involvement is of no importance (5) is also false, since digital platforms have boosted such participation.

These strengths mark the shift from passive consumption to active participation.

They underlie the interactive, user-driven nature of digital media.
