Jim Stewartson: "Friends, it’s time to get serious. The ongoing debate between (intelligent, well-meaning) people about what “transmedia” means and even whether defining the word matters at all, is killing our common cause."

Andrea Phillips: "It's become fashionable to hate the word 'transmedia' in some circles. The T-word has been very good to me. It's netted me any number of speaking engagements and website hits and sold me a book, among other things, so I feel a certain loyalty to it. I don't think I'd be enjoying the same degree of professional success if I hadn't very consciously embraced That Word back in 2010 or so."

"Transmedia is a buzzword to many. For others, it’s a word that promises gateways into new experiences.

Brooke Thompson: "It’s that time of year again… the time when we shake our collective heads and try to have some magical moment where we suddenly all understand what transmedia means. Scratch that. We all understand what transmedia means just fine. This is the time of year when we try to agree on what it means… and, in so doing, prove that the word has meaning and that we understand it more than they do."

The word "transmedia" was hardly to be heard at MIPTV. Does this mean it's dead, or rather fully integrated in TV production?
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
A couple of interesting posts today on the relevance of the term "transmedia". The first is this one from Simon Staffans, the second is by Andrea Phillips and called WTF Transmedia? Both are worth the read.

[Then continue the discussion with Simon Staffans over @ http://bit.ly/zdyjHS where he states "Transmedia is not ”there” yet, wherever we envisage ”there” to be. We have experimental projects, we have big-budget marketing campaigns, we have art projects, we have crowdfunded projects and any mix between these. Very few of these will have a significant impact on other transmedia projects, as all new projects need to be handled from the ground up as unique challenges."] Delete the scoop?
