*About the book*

/Transmediality in Independent Journalism/ investigates mainstream 
journalism and its escape routes to independence through transmedia 
strategies. Within the scope of the latest debates in Turkey, the author 
argues that the function of transmediality in Turkish journalism is 
gradually shifting from being only a commercial entity to becoming a 
political system for social change, a survival mechanism for independent 
journalists to reach out to diverse audiences, and gain back the public 
trust.

Bringing a fresh perspective to recent studies on cultures of 
transmediality along with an in-depth analysis of three contemporary 
Turkish cases, the book:

•           Builds upon questions of whether transmedia storytelling can 
offer a support system to construct an alternative news media world in a 
political context such as Turkey’s

•           Examines how transmedia storytelling can reach places the 
mainstream news media can’t control

•           Explores whether transmedia storytelling can sustain the 
survival of an independent journalist in Turkey’s political context

Looking beyond the case of Turkey, this study will be an important 
addition to the literature on rethinking journalistic form and practice, 
teaching transmedia strategies, and social communication.

*About the series*

Routledge Advances in Transmedia Studies

This series publishes monographs and edited collections that sit at the 
cutting-edge of today’s interdisciplinary cross-platform media 
landscape. Topics should consider emerging transmedia applications in 
and across industries, cultures, arts, practices, or research 
methodologies. The series is especially interested in research exploring 
the future possibilities of an interconnected media landscape that looks 
beyond the field of media studies, notably broadening to include 
socio-political contexts, education, experience design, mixed-reality, 
journalism, the proliferation of screens, as well as art- and 
writing-based dimensions to do with the role of digital platforms like 
VR, apps and iDocs to tell new stories and express new ideas across 
multiple platforms in ways that join up with the social world.
