The edited book constitutes an attempttoinvestigateseveralaspectsofconvergencesuchasthestrategic,techno- logical, consumer driven, and application-oriented convergence.

Today media managers are faced with the need to satisfy users’ expectationsandatthesametimeundertakeconvergenceasanindustrialstrategy to achieve economies of scope and scale. Media technology developers are faced with rapidly emerging new technologies and information systems to quickly developadditionalmediaservices.Mediascholarsareboundtounderstandtechno- logicaldevelopmentsandindustryconvergenceprocessesinorderfortheirresearch toberelevant.Withthisbook,wethusattempttogiveanswerstomediamanagers, mediascholars,students,researchers,aswellastotechnologydevelopersandhelp themgetaclearerunderstandingofthisthematicarea. When we launched our edited book initiative, our primary goal was to investigate potential interest in this thematic area through a call for abstracts. We were overwhelmedwhenwereceived87abstracts,which havebeen evaluated by us as editors. 73 abstracts were invited to contribute a full book chapter, while 15abstractswererejectedandnotinvitedforafinalmanuscriptversion.Toensure high scientific standards, we implemented a strict blind peer review process for each book chapter. After this first review, we accepted the chapters for which review statements supported the publication. The final version of all chapters has been reviewed one more time in order to check that all review comments were adequately integrated. We ended up with 39 accepted book chapters, including 2chapterscontributedbyusaseditorswhichprovidearedlinethroughthebook. Thus, the acceptance rate was 45 % with respect to the submitted abstracts and 54%withrespecttotheinvitedabstracts.Thechaptersweredividedbetweentwo book volumes: the first volume includes 19 chapters on journalism, broadcasting, and social media aspects of convergence, while the second volume presents 20 chapters covering firm and user perspectives on convergence. Most of the v vi Preface thematicareas thatwe wanted toinclude inthebook(seeFig.1)aswellasmany differentmediagenresarerepresentedwithinthecontributions(seeFig.2).
