In this transcript of oral remarks, some of the key themes of our earlier works will be revisited -- especially “Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Me-dia Collided”, but also “Spreadable Media: Creating Meaning and Value in a Networked Culture” and “By Any Media Necessary: The New Youth Activism”. From the earlier book, I return to such key concepts as convergence, trans-media storytelling, collective intelligence, and participatory culture, exploring what has shifted over the past fifteen plus years, and what new issues con-front us as we move more deeply into an era defined by the collision between old and new media.
