  “This approach to discussing new media focuses primarily on popular culture and the shifts we're seeing with participatory and collaborative forms of media. Jenkins hits upon many of the same themes that we see many authors and commentators mentioning over the last several years. Where he slightly sets himself apart is in his tempering of the excitement and grandiose claims that theorists are tempted to make. He asks for a more balanced and realistic look at convergence culture and it's potentials.”

  “Very well balanced and intelligent analysis of what's going on with fans and the media they love. Avoids glib generalisations and easy answers.”
