technologies and ideologies of new media - the digital discourse of
blogs, wikis, texting, instant messaging, internet art, video games,
virtual worlds, websites, emails, podcasting, hypertext fiction,
graphical user interfaces, and so on. Of equal interest are the ways
that new media language is metalinguistically represented, constructed
and/or produced in print and broadcast media such as newspapers and
television.
