Looking for a theory--traditional + new media = ?
Greetings all, Some time ago I encountered a paper or chapter that argued that so-called "traditional" (unidirectional) media such as radio and television could in fact be considered interactive or multidirectional thanks to the addition of other technologies like Twitter, the Internet, etc. I can't remember if this theory has a name--does it ring any bells? I'm working on a paper that could use an appropriate citation, if anyone knows what I'm talking about. Thanks!

The theory of "Convergence Culture", as described by Jenkins 2006 [1], could apply. Quotes: http://henryjenkins.org/2006/06/welcome_to_convergence_culture.html The described effect would be called a "convergence effect" in this framework.

Hi Ryan, You might some of what you want in here: http://www.lasics.uminho.pt/ojs/index.php/radioevolution But also look in journals such as The Radio Journal, The Journal of Radio and Audio Media and Convergence. There has been quite a bit written around this topic, usually by radio scholars rather than those from internet studies. Jenkins doesn't really talk much about radio but lots of other people have, which is why tracking this piece down might be tricky. You might not find the one you remember but you will find something. ( I have a pile on my desk for something I'm writing, so can send you some titles if you're interested) Hope this helps Richard Richard Berry Senior Lecturer in Radio Spark FM Academic Manager University of Sunderland, The David Puttnam Media Centre, SR6 0DD Tel: 0191 515 2239 @richardberryuk -----Original Message----- From: air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of Jane Oak Sent: 23 October 2013 07:45 To: Ryan S Eanes; air-l@listserv.aoir.org Subject: Re: [Air-L] Looking for a theory--traditional + new media = ?
