In journalism there is the concept of transmedia. In general, transmedia deals with the presentation of information in various media. Unlike multimedia, all media are interconnected. For example, only transmedia technology can allow the plot of a novel to be adapted into a film with minor changes, or the first part of a story to be told through a television show, the second part through a film, and the third part through a television show.
In the world at large, there are different ways of disseminating the essential elements of fiction. Transmedia information is an output system. The information it contains is mostly related to history. The narrative structure will be filled with historical data and will include text and audio, video, fonts, images, infographics and more.
