Abstract: Abstract The Keyword convergence is a symbol of the rapid structural change in today’s media and journalism. It implies many possible combinations of formerly discrete realms—print, television, radio and online media—and has an impact on the organisation of newsrooms with joint newsrooms for all channels and journalists working for more than one platform. Furthermore convergence changes the storytelling in journalism, because the Internet is a central hub of text, imagery, video and audio and is not only a content platform but also a distribution platform for conventional media—with active users taking part at the news process. Also the far-reaching consequences for the job profile and the education of journalists are discussed in this article.
