Colleagues may be interested in the publication of the following new book:

*The Routledge Companion to Transmedia Studies*

*Edited by Matthew Freeman and Renira Rampazzo Gambarato*

Series: Routledge Media and Cultural Studies Companions
<https://www.routledge.com/Routledge-Media-and-Cultural-Studies-Companions/book-series/RMCSC>

Across the globe, people now engage with media content across multiple
platforms, following stories, characters, worlds, brands and other
information across a spectrum of media channels. This transmedia phenomenon
has led to the burgeoning of transmedia studies in media, cultural studies
and communication departments across the academy. *The Routledge Companion
to Transmedia Studies* seeks to be the ultimate publication for scholars
and students interested in comprehending all the various aspects of
transmediality. This collection, which gathers together original articles
by a global roster of contributors from a variety of disciplines, sets out
to contextualize, problematize and scrutinize the current status and future
directions of transmediality, exploring the industries, arts, practices,
cultures, and methodologies of studying convergent media across multiple
platforms.

*Review:*
"The editors have assembled an international rogue’s gallery of some of the
world’s top thinkers about transmedia. I love that attempts to develop a
field theory of transmedia have given way to efforts to describe different
configurations transmedia might take in different contexts or in the
service of different goals."
*–* *Henry Jenkins, Provost Professor of Communication, Journalism,
Cinematic Arts and Education, University of Southern California*
