This
site is an experiment in using the web itself as
one element in an investigation of the
significance of emerging communications media.
The project will include lectures, panel
discussions, and a range of virtual events.
A collaboration of
the Markle Foundation, the MIT Communications Forum and the MIT Comparative Media Studies Program, the Media in Transition project
hopes to encourage a conversation that crosses
intellectual, professional and cultural
boundaries -- a citizenly conversation that is
historically aware, uncontaminated by jargon,
rigorous, accessible.
