Henry Jenkins


1. What are Henry Jenkins’ ideas about how the media landscape is changing?
Jenkins states that there is definitely a transition where an old media system is dying and a new media system is being born. An era where spectatorial culture is giving way to participatory culture. Where a society based on a small number of companies controlling the story telling apparatus giving way to a much more complex media scape where average citizens have the ability to seize control of the media system

2. What is ‘convergence culture’?


3. How are Jenkins’ ideas similar to those of David Gauntlett and Michael Wesch?


4. How might we disagree with Jenkins’ utopian ideas about the media?
