Just wanted to say how much I am enjoying your blog as it is helping me to learn and understand transmedia so much more. I have been studying it at university here in Australia this semester. It’s a pretty new concept for me but it’s fascinating, though I believe I’ve only the very tiniest understanding. Am just about to graduate as a journalist and have my first shift this week in an online newsroom (www.abc.net.au/news) and I know they are keen there to explore the concept further so I hope I will be a part of that! Thanks big time for your blog which has been a major help/inspiration! Referenced your thesis a little for my own major project, which I’ve just handed in – all about moving news obituaries from print to an online platform and how to make it more engaging and immersive. Now, we’ll see what the markers think of it! Cheerio!

However, we can use some transmedia principles to push our students toward the next media metamorphosis. […]
