Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide
by Henry Jenkins
Order Now
Convergence Culture maps a new territory: where old and new media intersect, where grassroots and corporate
media collide, where the power of the media producer and the power of the consumer interact in unpredictable ways.
Henry Jenkins, one of America’s most respected media analysts, delves beneath the new media hype to uncover the
important cultural transformations that are taking place as media converge. He takes us into the secret world of
Survivor Spoilers, where avid internet users pool their knowledge to unearth the show’s secrets before they are
revealed on the air. He introduces us to young Harry Potter fans who are writing their own Hogwarts tales while
executives at Warner Brothers struggle for control of their franchise. He shows us how The Matrix has pushed
transmedia storytelling to new levels, creating a fictional world where consumers track down bits of the story across
multiple media channels.Jenkins argues that struggles over convergence will redefine the face of American popular
culture. Industry leaders see opportunities to direct content across many channels to increase revenue and broaden
markets. At the same time, consumers envision a liberated public sphere, free of network controls, in a decentralized
media environment. Sometimes corporate and grassroots efforts reinforce each other, creating closer, more
rewarding relations between media producers and consumers. Sometimes these two forces are at war.
Jenkins provides a riveting introduction to the world where every story gets told and every brand gets sold across
multiple media platforms. He explains the cultural shift that is occurring as consumers fight for control across
disparate channels, changing the way we do business, elect our leaders, and educate our children.
