|
Rapid changes in technology and the media industries have led to new modes of distributing and consuming information and entertainment across platforms and devices. It is now possible for newspapers to deliver breaking news by email alerts or RSS feeds, and for audiovisual content to be read, listened to or watched at a convenient time, often while on the move. This process of 'media convergence', in which new technologies are accommodated by existing media industries, has broader implications for ownership, media practices and regulation. This book critically analyses the political, economic, cultural, social, and technological factors that are shaping these changing media practices. Title: Media Convergence Publisher's website for this book. The above text is from the publisher's description of the book. |
