What is Crossmedia?

 

It is a very good question, since these concepts – crossmedia and transmedia – are unquestionably rather new and are also in constant change and development. Here we have compiled a small set of rather entertaining videos that should offer a quick introduction and an overview as to what crossmedia production or transmedia storytelling are effectively argued to be by some of the leading scholars and practitioners of the field. Below you can find also links to some of the main blogs covering the field.
