The Renegade Rider of 1894: interactive transmedia journalism piece on Narrative.ly

The Renegade Rider of 1894: interactive transmedia journalism piece on Narrative.ly | #transmediascoop | Scoop.it
Armed with only a revolver, a change of undergarments and a bicycle, Annie Londonderry embarks on an epic around-the-world adventure in 1894, with New York City as her first taste of freedom.
Dr. Pamela Rutledge's curator insight, May 18, 2:48 PM

Beautiful, interactive compilation of media to tell the story of Annie Londonderry's 1984 bicycle ride that made her a social icon and habinger of the feminist movement, or what Henry James' called the "New Woman."  Raises an interesting question of the boundaries between storytelling as fiction and as journalism; transmedia stories by design leave more "meaning" gaps for the audience to fill from the assemblage of nonlinear information. We know the experience of transmedia is more immersive.  Is the cognitive understanding of the content different or just emotionally richer compared to traditional linear journalism?

Minna Kilpeläinen's comment, May 20, 6:18 PM
Transmedia allows us to read between the lines that go all around 360 degrees.

Method 10x10: The Experience Tells The Story | #transmediascoop | Scoop.it

The Mad Men era of advertising has passed. But what does advertising mean in this new age where there is no such thing as a "traditional" agency? Today, a brand’s communication and engagement strategy is no longer a separate and distinct practice from the design of a product or service. The two are intertwined. The product is the marketing, and the marketing is the product.

Yes, “Transmedia” is an Empty Buzzword… Until it Isn’t | #transmediascoop | Scoop.it
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.
Simon Staffans's insight:

Yup, some interesting points here.

Alberto Dafonte's curator insight, May 9, 4:38 PM

"We can leave “transmedia” to the academic, the philosophical, and the fantastical. It can remain a conceptual framework for our imaginations to run free in a vast, dreamy Narnia of ideas. If this is our answer, lots of books and panels and dissertations will be generated around the world. It will be great fun talking theory to each other. And no one will make a dime".

"Any phrase that said: I’m doing things that don’t fit into a neat little box. It’s not exactly a television show or movie or video game. It’s not a book or a comic. It’s not any of those things but it might be some of those things.

It might be highly interactive and social or maybe it’s not. It may be a standalone story or vast storyworld made up of a dozen individual stories. It may be told live or produced well in advance. It may be any number of things. But the one thing it is, for sure, is something that doesn’t fit in a box...call it whatever you want, maybe they’ll use “Transmedia” or maybe they’ll call it “Interactive” or “Multi Platform” or, please oh please “Crazy Shit”. I would so love to apply for a “Crazy Shit” grant!"

Dr. Pamela Rutledge's comment, May 7, 10:48 AM
In terms of information processing and the human brain, everything is transmedia (i.e. we form our understanding of every narrative in an additive fashion from all kinds of multi-sensory input.) The trouble may be that the defining features of a 'transmedia storytelling' experience make too long a laundry list of not-very-sexy words: coherence, coordination, and cocreation, i.e. coordinated participatory storytelling with the media part understood. Digging a semantic hole!
