Henry Jenkins proposed that, "Transmedia storytelling represents a process where integral elements of a fiction get dispersed systematically across multiple delivery channels for the purpose of creating a unified and coordinated entertainment experience. Ideally, each medium makes it own unique contribution to the unfolding of the story." The purpose of this panel is to begin the conversation about incorporating transmedia storytelling in our mass communication courses while exploring issues related to theory and utility.
