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.
