Quinn, Stephen and Quinn-Allan, Deirdre 2005, The world-wide spread of journalism convergence, in Proceedings of the 2005 Journalism Education Association Conference, Griffith University, School of Arts, Griffith, Qld..
Convergence is a likely destination for news media in many parts of the world, though the duration of the journey will vary from country to country. This paper defines convergence as well as it is possible to do so, traces its spread around the world, and describes some of the most common business models. It looks at the forces driving convergence, and factors common to the most successful converged operations. The paper also describes the uncertain scenario in Australia now the Howard government has announced plans to change media ownership laws. It ends with discussion about changes in curricula at journalism programs in the United States in the light of the spread of convergence.
