Cheryl E. Ball and James Kalmbach set the pretense for their compilation of Raw: Reading and Writing New Media, “The rawness of new media as it converges with English studies is a moment worthy of articulation.” The book is divided into four sections. The first two sections introduce readers to a wide variety of new media work, the third section then situates the work by bringing a variety of theoretic and disciplinary lenses to our examination of new media. The fourth section focuses on pedagogical issues, from theorizing pedagogy in regards to teaching so-called digital natives, to larger issues of designing support centers for new media teaching, and the issues that frame the creation of new media-based first year writing curricula.
