Hey there Mr Jenkins

from Digital Society Hosted by Travis Holland

In this conversation, Travis and guest Martin Feld discuss the concept of convergence culture and its impact on media platforms and audience behaviour. They explore the challenges and opportunities presented by convergence, including the democratisation of communication and the rise of disinformation. The conversation also delves into the industrial changes brought about by convergence, such as the fragmentation of content and the trend of companies merging to create holistic media experiences. They highlight successful examples of media convergence, including the Matrix franchise and Disney's transmedia storytelling. Finally, they discuss the need to strike a balance in using social media, emphasising the importance of moderation and detachment from digital experiences. The conversation explores the responsibility of social media companies in designing addictive experiences and the need for moderation. To check out Martin's work, see https://martinfeld.info/
