10 Reasons Why Most Broadcasters Make Mediocre Multiplatform | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Gary Hayes:  "TV Broadcasters are fighting dwindling audiences overall (apart from great golden age US drama & singing talent shows of course) and struggling to come up with great multiplatform strategies to help reach and re-connect audiences to TV shows? Why is this?"
