1)Bum Soo Chon, Junho H. Choi , George A. Barnett , James A. Danowski & Sung-Hee Joo (2003) A Structural Analysis of Media Convergence: Cross-Industry Mergers and Acquisitions in the Information Industries, The Journal of Media Economics, 16:3, 141-157, DOI: 10.1207/S15327736ME1603_1

2) This article Chon et al. seek to provide a coherent analysis on structural changes in the information industries including publishing, broadcasting, film, cable, telephony, software and data processing, and the Internet in the context of media convergence.

3) The author used various research methods in their work. The cross-industry network structure was mapped using annual data on mergers and acquisitions among formation industry firms obtained from the Journal of Mergers and Acquisitions. A comparative network analysis of these ownership transactions was what led them to their final conclusion.

4) The scope of their research is wide and varied. They look at all factors in the publishing world and cross check all the data from all the different avenues of information that they gathered.

5) This article will undoubtedly be extremely useful to my further research and writings on media convergence. Throughout the article the authors highlight a plethora of reasons to suggest that the media landscape undoubtedly changed due to convergence.

6) The article is primarily limited by the admission of some figures for key areas in some tables.

7) Besides this, the article provides extensive research and analysis on the different information industries and their relations with convergence.

8) This article gives a great deal of in-depth information and coupled with its excellent analysis this article may well form the basis of my further research and writings on convergence.
