Abstract: | This article, first of all, supports the idea that the undeniable process of ICT-based technological convergence implies
the social, cultural and business unification of the world of media and culture. The poor performance of the megamerger is
a clear indicator of the unstable ground of the convergence hypothesis. Secondly, it argues in favour of cooperation between
different expertise, skills and cultures to make multimedia products or to supply multimedia services, instead of creating
from scratch a brand new class of hybrid skills and professions. Thirdly, a variety of new possible and realistically achievable
professional profiles in cultural industries and institutions are illustrated. Eventually a set of public policies, in the
light of a new role for cities and regions, is developed.
