Is advertising in traditional media still effective in the digital age?

Although digital media  is dominating in the digital age but traditional media  sill has a chance to advertise effectively. People still believe on traditional even today. just look how many newspaper sold per day. billboards , newspapers, radios and TVs still used by many people. AKA was mentioned in an advertisement on radios,different TV channels and on newspapers as well about his nominees he got. he got many votes because of those advertisement  took place on traditional media.


actually media is still important all over the world, doesn't matter traditional or digital media. we are nothing without media. it is our daily bread.

The  power of social media campaign

our celebrities in this time are active on social media. whether you have a question or comment you want to add onyour favourite artist, it easy to get them on social networks such as twitter, facebook, linkedIN and so on. AKA also is available on twitter, facebook and on instagram. so it is easy to talk to him.

do we need journalist in the age  of social media?

 journalist have an experiences to be journalist. they able to adopt the situation. even though social media exist but journalist able to do their job.

Journalists are used to promoting their work on social media. But there’s also lots of scope for journalists to use social media as a reporting tool — to find stories, for news gathering, research, finding interviewees and more.more info

actually journalists have a combination with the social media, so it is a risk to separate them.



social media with the journalist have an impact on our artist reputation. AKA is one of the artist usually apear on social media.
