abstract
In this presentation, I discussed two sets of rubrics posited by new media scholars, Gunther Kress and Theo van Leeuwen in their book Multimodal Discourse and Lev Manovich in his book A Language of New Media. I argue that these rubrics are only so useful for rhetoric and composition scholars because they don’t focus on rhetorical ways of understanding digital media texts.
