- Authors
Sutherland, Karen; Barker, Richie
- Abstract
Transmedia storytelling is the process of telling stories in an integrated fashion across multiple platforms, traditional and new (Jenkins, 2010). This paper suggests that public relations graduates who include transmedia storytelling examples in their portfolios are considered by hiring managers as displaying greater employability than graduates without them. This finding encourages public relations educators to assess current pedagogy to explore how it approaches the practice of transmedia storytelling. Additionally, educators are encouraged to ascertain whether current curriculum provides ample opportunities for students to develop transmedia storytelling examples as portfolio inclusions for perusal by prospective employers.
