Abstract
Abstract This case study used an extreme news event, a school shooting, to explore the concepts of news convergence within the context of media ecology. By analysing media reports from all outlets in a specific market, considering audience contributions and using an Internet-based focus group held three weeks after the event, the study sought to examine the intersection between the audience and media reports. The results indicated a converged audience, where information flowed from person to person and information channel to information channel. This study explores this dynamic, revealing a complex news ecosystem.
