My respect for multimedia as a powerful tool was first piqued after the Arab Spring began. It blew my mind that so much could be accomplished via platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Even still, I’ve always avoided them like the plague, I think because I never really saw how they could apply to my life […]  I thought about transmedia and how it applies to my life. I haven’t really heard of the term prior to this class, but I associated it with the mass marketing schemes that I am exposed to as a consumer. To participate in transmedia, I need to use a variety of methods to communicate. Using one […] Perhaps Lee Siegel’s “Burying the Hatchet” should have been titled “Swinging the Wrecking Ball.” From the get-go, he seems more interested in tearing down some aspects of his own industry than in turning his back on his time as a hatchet-man.

Henry Jenkins in the Google Hangout defined transmedia as “the relationship between different media platforms and practices.” For me, there lies the crux of the […] One of the themes that stood out to me and piqued my interest in the Transmedia hangout discussion and the Precious Places work is the question of staying power; how to engage with the audience so that you activate a call to action or keep them involved in an issue after the delivery of the […] While I was listening to the “Interacting with Transmedia” hang out one particular discussion stuck out to me.
