This companion brings together scholars from around the globe who here contribute to our understanding of digital rhetoric the changing written landscape. Increasingly, all of us must navigate networks of information, compose not just with computers but an array of mobile devices, increase our technological literacy, and understand the changing dynamics of authoring, writing, reading, and publishing in a world of rich and complex texts. Given such changes, and given the diverse ways in which younger generations of college students are writing, communicating, and designing texts in multimediated, electronic environments, we need to consider how the very act of writing itself is undergoing potentially fundamental changes. These changes are increasingly being addressed by the emerging field of digital rhetoric, a field that attempts to understand the rhetorical possibilities and affordances of writing, broadly defined, in a wide array of digital environments.

Of interest to both researchers and students, this volume provides insights in the fields of rhetoric, writing, composition, digital media, literature, and multimodal studies.
