Transmedia Storytellying

1. Transmedia storytelling is important to digital convergence communication because it represents a process where integral elements of a fiction get dispersed systematically across multiple delivery channels for the purpose of creating a unified and coordinated entertainment experience.
2.Media business can be more beneficial than transmedia storytelling because modern media businesses hold interests that are a range of interests across of what were once distinct media industries. A media conglomerate has an incentive to spread their brand or to expand their franchises across various media platforms a possible.
3. Transmedia storytelling can be beneficial for different bodies of audience in consuming production because majority of the time storytelling doesn't focus on one character or story plot but rather complex fictional worlds. This process of world-building encourages an encyclopedic impulse in both readers and writers.
4.  Transmedia storytelling can be worked out in terms of collective intelligence in the process of production by requiring a high degree of coordination across various media sectors. It can be seen in independent projects where the same artist shapes the story across all of the media involved or in projects where there is strong collaboration. It encourages co-creation throughout the different divisions of the same company.
5. Transmedia storytelling encourages the interactivity of audience by introducing possible plots which cannot be fully explained. Therefore, the readers have a strong incentive to continue and elaborate on these untold story elements.

Journalism

It's the Audience, Stupid! 
1.The new approach to storytelling is the comparsion from one country's citizens to another country's citizens such as the unemployment, illiteracy, and global issues.
2. Digital media is being used to engage audiences by having programming on the UK's largest network and allowing people from home to debate on the issues at hand by being able to call in no matter what country they're located in.
3. One can incorporate storytelling into an article by writing an article piece on a topic individuals can relate to.
Another way is to write a comparative piece that individuals from overseas can compare to.
A last way is to paraphrase instead of writing a too wordy piece.

All the Aggregation That's Fit to Aggregate  
1.Aggregation means smart people sharing their reading list, plugging one another into the bounty of the information universe.
2. The author describes Arianna Huffington as the "queen of aggregation" because she discovered that by taking different forms of information from unpaid bloggers and putting altogether on her website, millions of people became attracted to her webpage.
3.Aggregation is a threat to professional journalism because if one website (ie. Huffington Post) can simply take information from different outlets, it will stop sales from traditional newspapers. It will discredit professional journalists for their works.

PhotoJournalism in the Age of New Media \
1. The positives are it being available through social networks.
2. The professional journalist need to be careful because of the verification, the proper context and the attributions
3. It may not show the real picture and content of what is truly going on in the picture.
4. The citizen photojournalist impacts the professional photojournalist by taking their jobs, many new companies are happy with random shots and they don't have to be professional.
