What is Digital Communications?
Digital communications is the use of online tools like email, text messaging or social media to reach individuals or an audience to share a message with them. Digital communications has replaced older forms of communication, such as letters sent through the mail, phone calls or advertising as the preferred way to interact with individuals. Government agencies and civic organizations find that digital communications are critical to citizen engagement.
Why is it important?
In an era when nearly everyone has an internet-connected device in their pocket, there’s never been an easier time for government to communicate with citizens. Digital communications save the public sector money and time by allowing write once, publish everywhere solutions. Digital communications push people to broader citizen engagement. Most government organizations have seen team size diminish in recent years but workloads continue to increase. Using digital communications allows government teams to deliver on the organization’s mission in a timely and inexpensive way.
