Last month I (Leora Kornfeld, writing on our group metroCode account) was fortunate enough to attend the Futures of Entertainment Conference at MIT, hosted by Henry Jenkins, founder and director of MIT's comparative media studies program, and author of 2006' "Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media collide"

Jenkins is also the man who coined the term 'textual poachers' in a book of the same name, back in 1992.
