What is transmedia storytelling?
• “..transmedia storytelling represents a process where integral elements of fiction get dispersed systematically across multiple delivery channels for the purpose of creating a unified and coordinated entertainment experience. Ideally each medium makes its own unique contribution to the unfolding of the story.” Jenkins
Convergence culture: “The flow of content across multiple media platforms”(Jenkins, 2006 blog). He describes an adventurous audience that will “go almost anywhere in search of the kinds of entertainment experiences they wanted”
Jenkins acknowledges how transmedia encourages user participation “Participatory culture is intended to contrast older notions of spectatorship” (Jenkins, 2006 blog)
