Which of the following is NOT listed as a dimension of media convergence by Hesmondhalgh?

• A. Cultural forms
• B. Audience feedback
• C. Corporate ownership
• D. Communications systems

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is how Hesmondhalgh groups the ways media converge. He identifies three main axes: cultural forms, which covers how content crosses genres and media platforms; corporate ownership, which looks at how firms own and control multiple media, enabling cross-promotion and integration; and communications systems, the technologies and networks that carry content and connect producers with audiences. Audience feedback, while important for understanding how people respond to media, isn’t listed as a dimension of convergence in his framework. It’s more about how audiences engage rather than a structural axis of convergence itself.
