Here you find content connected to the Transmedia Journalism Workshop at Jönköping University.
The workshop promotes a hands-on approach to recent developments in transmedia journalism. Transmedia journalism, as well as any other application of transmedia storytelling in fictional and nonfictional realms, is characterized by the involvement of (a) multiple media platforms; (b) content expansion; and (c) audience engagement. The participants, organized in groups, work together to experience how to transform a single news story into a transmedia project.
