I plan to contribute to the Transmedia Storytelling article. The article's content of the educational uses section is relevant to the overall topic but as for the rest of the sections, I feel this content only scratches the surface of the concept of storytelling across media. I feel there could be a lot more history provided and explain the relation of history to the topic better. To me, the content from the history section didn’t fully connect, it needed a little more development. Overall, the article’s content was underdeveloped.

Perhaps because the concept is so new and digital media is only now starting to take off, there is not much current content on this concept. There is a list of notable examples of transmedia storytelling in the current state section, but no mention of how successful these examples were or how the multi-platform storytelling has been impactful. I would like to add a list of mediums in which transmedia storytelling is apparent and then go in-depth on the impact each medium has and the specific audience each medium reaches.

The article is neutral and has an impartial tone throughout the article. The article is not critiquing any concept or issue, it simply states the facts and provides sources. Speaking of sources there are multiple sources included in this article. As far as I can see, each claim has a citation or at least a hyperlink. Although I found the citation reliable, I noticed Henry Jenkins’ work is cited multiple times throughout the article. I feel to make this article more legitimate there needs to be more of a variety of sources to support the claims made.
