  <title><![CDATA[If ‘New Media’ Isn’t New Anymore… What’s Next?]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The term “new media” refers to any media that’s digital, such as a TV show, a blog, or an online newspaper.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, "even though it's in the title of my professorship, the phrase is old and isn't that commonly used anymore," says&nbsp;<a href="https://iac.gatech.edu/people/person/jay-bolter" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Jay Bolter</a>, professor and Wesley Chair of New Media at Georgia Tech's School of Literature, Media, and Communication. "The reason for that is because it has a shelf life. That is to say, what's new media today isn't new media tomorrow, or at least won't be in five years or ten years, given the pace of change in digital technology."&nbsp;</p>

<p>So, if it isn't called new media anymore, what are Georgia Tech students learning? <a href="https://iac.gatech.edu/featured-news/2023/11/new-media">Read more on the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts website.</a></p>

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
