_The New Media Book_ edited by Dan Harries (ISBN: 0851709257)

_The New Media Book_ brings together scholars from a variety of academic
disciplines including film, media, and communication studies to document,
analyse, and forecast the shifting parameters of the 'new' media. These
scholars share the view that these developments have arisen not out of some
sort of cultural, historical, or technological vacuum, but instead have
developed within and have been conditioned, pre-empted, and influenced by a
broader context and array of existing media technologies, production
strategies, narratives, aesthetics, spectatorships, and patterns of
consumption.

The book is divided into five sections that represent areas of analysis
typically conducted in the study of media: Technologies, Production, Texts,
Consumption, and Contexts. Of course, the very nature of new media makes
such division into discreet sections a fairly difficult task, and while each
chapter makes a solid contribution to its designated section, it also makes
pertinent connections across the sections and highlights the dynamic and
fluid nature of the 'new' media.
