Convergence
Convergence in media can refer to two seperate things:
Cross media convergence (to do with ownership - conglomerates owning different types of media)
Technological convergence (to do with technology - how devices are converged so you can consume multiple media on one device)
what exactly do you do on your phone?
Does any of this make reading the news on it different?
Digital Storytelling
A prime example is Firestorm a story from 2013
A new was of telling news stories. Newspaper website use varying amounts
Total population 7.395 billion
Internet users 3.419 billion
Activesocial media users 2.307 billion
Unique mobile users 3.709 billion
The reason for this research reveals that not everybody uses the internet so when people day "Everyone uses the internet" that is indeed a false quote.
