Media convergence innovation is deemed necessary in order that the mass media be able to remain competitive in today's media business era. As one of the innovations in the mass media, media convergence requires a variety of processes and stages in the application. This paper will explore the process of diffusion of convergence innovation in the dailynews Pikiran Rakyat.
