    MODULE 2: Media Convergence

    WHAT IS MEDIA CONVERGENCE?


    Media convergence simply refers to the combination of various kinds of mass media such as
    traditional media, print media, broadcast media, new media, and the internet using digital
    media channels.

    The most popular examples of Media Convergence are:

     Smartphones (converging camera, music, the internet, books, and all other media
    together)
     Online Radio (converging radio with the Internet)
     E-books (converging paperbacks with the digital technology)
     News Websites and Apps

    Media convergence has proved to be beneficial in the digital era which is filled with
    content seeking our attention continuously. Here are the most important advantages
    of Media Convergence:

     Convergence between conventional media and digital media delivers the rapid
    accessibility of breaking news and topic-specific content.
     The content producers may target a particular audience or community with tailored
    content.
     The audience now also controls the development. Memes to social media posts has
    truly benefited in enabling global media convergence.
     Another significant advantage of media convergence is that it has broadened the limits
    of conventional media by mixing it with digital media, delivering immediate and latest
    news internationally.

    The three main types of Media Convergence are:

     Technological Convergence
     Economic Convergence
     Cultural Convergence

    Technological Convergence - Technology convergence is the advancement of modern


    technologies that accomplish the same mission, but in a more advanced way, for example,
    people used to listen to music using the radio, but now technological convergence.

    Economic Convergence - Large corporations take advantage of both new and old media by
    selling products or licensing the product.

    Cultural Convergence - When two or more cultures adopt each other's characteristics, they
    merge into one group. Market brands and media represent increasing similarities between
    cultures in beliefs.

    Importance of Media Convergence

     It takes news reporting and journalism to another


    level for example, media journalism.
     The portability of portable devices contributed to
    cross-media content access. News organizations,
    for example, no longer rely on print or AV
    transmission.
     Many new media forms, such as blogs, websites,
    podcasts, news feeds, and portals, are born.
     The newly combined media platforms provide
    online access to the archives, and enable users to
    share links to relevant materials.

    Assessment Task:

    a) Make a campaign material proposal.


    a. Title of the campaign and Theme
    b. Concepts (Context/Issues)
    c. Branding and Creatives (Logo/Icons)
    d. Objectives
