The Transmedia Literacy research project was born due to the initiative of a group of researchers that share an interest in teenagers, digital interactive communication and teaching-learning processes. The research started in April 2015 and concluded in March 2018 after thirty-six months of work in eight countries: Spain, Australia, Colombia, Finland, Italy, Portugal, United Kingdom and Uruguay.
In the specific field of media and communication, the media ecology has mutated from the traditional broadcasting system to a new environment, where the old ‘media species’ must compete with the new ones and adapt and change in order to survive . In this context new media production, distribution, and consumption practices have emerged, the audiences have fragmented and the former passive TV viewer is now an active user that jumps from one media or platform to the next one looking for specific content or information. Last but not least, many of these new media consumers are now considered ‘prosumers’ who create and share “user-generated” contents.
