Disney Junior Puts Transmedia Expert Henry Jenkins on its Advisory Board

On March 13th, 2012 Disney Junior announced a newly formed council of academic advisors, comprised of experts in the fields of transmedia storytelling, early education, language development, diversity, emotional learning, digital trends and literacy, to guide Disney Junior's learning and development curriculum designed specifically for kids age 2-7.

Among the experts is Henry Jenkins, Provost's Professor of Communication, Journalism and Cinematic Arts at USC, who will advise on ways to expand storytelling through off-air experiences.

Congrats to Dr. Jenkins and Disney Junior.
