Media researchers have been interested in the problem of media convergence since the 1980s. But a huge wave of publications, conferences and discussions about media convergence began just after the publication of Henry Jenkins’ book Convergence Culture. Where Old and New Media Collide. It brought questions about the realm of the concept, typologies and previous research. The aim of this text is to answer these questions: What is media convergence and what types of convergence could be identified in media studies? Before the presentation of the various contexts and dimensions of media convergence, some sources and the history of the concept will be presented as well as outcomes of the recent media convergence research.
