Convergent journalism brings together all media types (essentially print,online,broadcast and mobile),ideally to better deliver the news by relying on the strengths of each medium and sharing and reworking content. — Geoff LoCicero

The rapid evolution of news media delivery technologies such as the Internet combined with globalisation and the increasing worldwide demand for news services is transforming journalistic production. The integration of multiple news interfaces online (print stories alongside streaming vision and audio) means that journalists require more than an ability to spot a story and write it up.
