Welcome to My Blog!

My name is Zoe Cooper, I'm a student in LIS 201 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Here is my blogged review of Henry Jenkins' book Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide.

Author Henry Jenkins is a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA. He has been named Peter de Florez Professor of Humanities and is the Founder and Director of MIT's Comparative Media Studies Program. Convergence Culture is one of eleven books he has written on popular culture and media.
