In the book *Convergence Culture* by Henry Jenkins, the author explores the intersection of old and new media, highlighting the changes in media consumption and production. Jenkins, a renowned media analyst and professor, emphasizes the shift from a technology-centric view to a cultural one, where the active participation of consumers is crucial. The book is written in a light yet academically rigorous style, attracting both scholars and practitioners in the field of media and popular culture. Jenkins defines convergence as the flow of content across different media, the cooperation between various media industries, and the migratory behavior of audiences. He argues that convergence is primarily a cultural phenomenon, not a technological one, and that it blurs the boundaries between creators and consumers. The book discusses three key concepts: media convergence, participatory culture, and collective intelligence. These concepts are illustrated through case studies such as *Survivor*, *American Idol*, *The Matrix*, *Star Wars*, and *Harry Potter*. The cases highlight how fans and consumers are actively engaging with media, influencing content, and reshaping narratives. Jenkins also examines the tension between producers and consumers, particularly in the context of participatory culture, where fans can either interfere or be marginalized by producers. He suggests that the 2004 U.S. presidential campaign demonstrated the potential for increased citizen participation in media and politics. In the conclusion, Jenkins reiterates the importance of these concepts for education, media reform, and democratic citizenship. He acknowledges that while the current audience for these new behaviors is primarily white, college-educated men, he believes that as more citizens gain access to new technologies, they will play a more significant role in the future of media and society. Jenkins warns that producers who fail to engage with this new culture of participation will lose their power, and the resulting conflicts will shape the public culture of the future.In the book *Convergence Culture* by Henry Jenkins, the author explores the intersection of old and new media, highlighting the changes in media consumption and production.
