Convergence Media History explores the ways that digital convergence has radically changed the field of media history. Writing media history is no longer a matter of charting the historical development of an individual medium such as film or television.

Each essay in this collection addresses a single medium¿including film, television, advertising, sound recording, new media, and more¿and connects that specific medium¿s history to larger issues for the field in writing multi-media or convergent histories.
