'''[[Digital media]]''' comprises both [[Internet]] and [[mobile web|mobile]] mass communication. '''''Internet media''''' comprises such services as [[email]], [[social media]] sites, [[website]]s, and Internet-based radio and television. Many other mass media outlets have an additional presence on the web, by such means as linking to or running TV ads online, or distributing [[QR code]]s in outdoor or print media to direct mobile users to a website. In this way, they can use the easy accessibility and outreach capabilities the Internet affords, as thereby easily broadcast information throughout many different regions of the world simultaneously and cost-efficiently.
