Abstract

With the development of digital technology, traditional media are facing an unprecedented crisis. Innovations in information dissemination methods and the rise of digital platforms have forced traditional media to seek transformation paths. From the perspectives of information disclosure and innovation in communication models, this paper analyzes the integration trends and response strategies of traditional media and digital media. Through analysis, the paper concludes that digital transformation is conducive to improving the credibility of traditional media, and proposes the necessity of new communication methods such as short videos and social media interaction. It is argued that traditional media should rely on digital platforms to improve information disclosure, enhance transparency, and strengthen audience participation, thereby adapting to the new media environment.
