Abstract:

This study aims to describe the development of transmedia storytelling in the global
publishing industry. Based on the literature review, the five main elements of the concept of
transmedia storytelling are discussed in the publishing industry in the digital ecological environment.
And also the study explores the basic features of the business model including the content system
built by multiple centers and networks, open and integrated operation system, content value co
creation, unique audience experience and relationship, etc. We also give suggestions including
constructing the concept of transmedia storytelling in the publishing industry, encouraging the
transformation of authorship, building fan circles, and realizing the value co-creation of IP brands
with the help of meta-stories for the digital development of China’s publishing industry.
