Multimedia, Crossmedia, Transmedia… What’s in a name? | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Kevin Moloney:  "I’ve written elsewhere that we’re living through a Cambrian Explosion in the ecology of media. [...]  And with this explosion has come a diversity of terms to describe new creations and new arrangements. Multimedia? Crossmedia? Transmedia? What is the difference?
