How Rhetoric and Composition Described and Defined New Media at the Start of the Twenty-First Century

Courtney L. Werner

Abstract

In this article, I argue that new media is defined and situated within two distinct scholarly conversations (composing in contemporary society and composing in academia) and has varied definitions supporting arguments made within these overarching conversations. Discussions of new media contribute to rhetoric and composition’s twenty-first-century composing frameworks.
