A knowledge society can be understood as a society where the creation, dissemination, and utilization of knowledge play a central role in economic growth, social development, and cultural enrichment. For developing countries, the concept of a knowledge society carries unique challenges and opportunities, as these nations often face constraints such as limited infrastructure, uneven access to education, and socioeconomic disparities. In this context, the emergence of digital media has opened new avenues for accelerating development, enhancing learning, and promoting equitable participation in the knowledge economy. In developing countries, the traditional model of development has largely relied on physical infrastructure, industrial growth, and resource exploitation. While these remain important, there is increasing recognition that knowledge—the ability to access, process, and apply information—can drive sustainable development. A knowledge society in such countries involves leveraging education, innovation, and communication technologies to empower citizens, improve governance, and address social inequities. Digital media, including the internet, social media platforms, mobile technologies, and digital learning tools, provides the backbone for this transformation by facilitating the flow of information beyond conventional barriers of geography, language, and social class. Digital media enables knowledge sharing by connecting individuals and communities across multiple levels. In developing countries, where rural and remote areas are often disconnected from mainstream development activities, digital platforms can bridge gaps in information access. For instance, online portals, social networks, and mobile applications allow farmers to access agricultural best practices, market prices, and weather updates in real-time. Similarly, healthcare workers can share medical knowledge and treatment protocols through digital forums, reducing delays in healthcare delivery and improving community health outcomes. By allowing local knowledge to be shared widely, digital media not only strengthens community capacities but also ensures that development initiatives are informed by grassroots experiences and contextual realities. Learning in a knowledge society is no longer confined to formal educational institutions. Digital media supports lifelong learning by offering flexible, accessible, and often low-cost opportunities for skill development. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs),
