Críticas:

"This text is long overdue! Convergence has been talked about for years but few have put forth the effort to help explain it in a way that faculty can use in a classroom. The authors do a good job of explaining the relationships between the various traditional media while providing evidence that convergence is happening regardless of those who refuse to admit it. The text is skills-oriented, and that is so critical in today's curriculum. Students learn by doing, and this text does a very good job of comparing similarities and differences among media."--Colin Pillow, Arkansas State University"The authors do an excellent job giving an overview of the essential roles and approaches of different media. [This book] is easy enough for a student to read--and maybe even comprehend while listening to his iPod, chatting on IM, texting, and watching ESPN (don't try this at home)--without sacrificing clarity, content, or substance."--Richard Landesburg, Elon University"Convergence has already happened and continues to happen in the profession, but those of us in academia have been slow, even stubborn in examining this major force in media which is anything but a passing fad. Wilkinson, et al. have developed a seminal text in this area, and I'd like to recommend this book for every journalism program in the country."--Ralph Braseth, University of Mississippi"This text is long overdue!

Wilkinson, August E. Grant, and Douglas J. Fisher with the publication of their book Principles of Convergent Journalism. To the authors' eternal credit, there's no diffidence in their approach to the disputed landscape. They attack the philosophy, reasons, and realities of convergence in the first half of the book, giving professors and students much to consider at the beginning of any journalism course. The authors focus on the realities of what's actually happening, which has the effect of allowing students to see themselves as part of this new world without becoming bogged down in a professor's lament about 'how things used to be.'"--Nancy McKenzie Dupont, Electronic News "This text is long overdue!
