Abstract:
Digital transformation has significantly changed the structure, operation, and sustainability of online media organizations in the contemporary communication era. The rapid development of digital technology, social media platforms, artificial intelligence, and audience-centered communication patterns has forced media institutions to adapt strategically to maintain competitiveness and relevance. This study aims to analyze the management strategies implemented by online media organizations in facing digital transformation, identify the internal and external factors influencing strategic success or failure, and examine how online media manage organizational structures, technology, and business models in response to digital disruption. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach through literature review, documentation analysis, and conceptual examination of digital media management practices. The findings show that successful online media management depends on organizational adaptability, technological innovation, leadership effectiveness, audience engagement, and revenue diversification strategies. Internal factors such as organizational culture, human resources, and financial capacity significantly influence digital transformation processes, while external factors including technological development, market competition, audience behavior, and globalization create both challenges and opportunities for media organizations. Furthermore, online media institutions increasingly adopt flexible organizational structures, multimedia communication systems, and subscription-based business models to strengthen sustainability in the digital ecosystem. Therefore, strategic management becomes essential for ensuring the competitiveness, credibility, and long-term sustainability of online media organizations in the era of digital transformation.
