This is an important topic and great share. I’m not as doom-and-gloom about traditional story telling but I do agree that transmedia story telling has a powerful place in education and cultural impact. Thanks, Ami!

I love this and I completely agree with you, Ami Mariscal! Cross-platform storytelling has the potential to bring so much awareness to an issue while building out a world and telling an in-depth story. Thank you for sharing these articles!
