Hi everyone, We have a freshman interest group course for aspiring communication majors in our department, and I've been asked to visit the class to give a very basic overview of new media studies. The instructor for the course is asking me if I know of any good article or book chapter that could serve as that day's assigned reading. Unfortunately, I know of only a few of these kinds of articles, and all of them are (by new media standards) old as heck: 2003 and earlier. Does anyone know of a very recent article or book chapter they could point me to that provides an overview of new media studies, a "state of the research" article, or something that begins to answer in broad terms "What is new media studies?" ...or even a good online resource...? Thanks! db --- Daren C. Brabham Graduate Teaching Fellow Department of Communication University of Utah 255 S.
