3. By convergence, I mean the flow of content across multiple media platforms,
the cooperation between multiple media industries, and the migratory
behavior of media audiences who would go almost anywhere in search of the
kinds of entertainment experiences they wanted.
Convergence is a word that manages to describe technological, industrial,
cultural, and social changes, depending on whos speaking and what they think
they are talking about. In the world of media convergence, every important
story gets told, every brand gets sold, every consumer gets courted across
multiple media platforms. Right now, convergence culture is getting defined
top-down by decisions being made in corporate boardrooms and bottom-
up by decisions made in teenagers bedrooms. It is shaped by the desires of
media conglomerates to expand their empires across multiple platforms and
by the desires of consumers to have the media they want where they want it,
when they want it, and in the format they want.
