• The relationship between academia and new media writing(s)
• Re-assessments of the claims made for hypertext, new media or digital writing(s) over the past decade
• Art policies and development strategies for new media writing(s)
• The audience for new media writing(s)
• The economics of new media writing(s)
• Pedagogical approaches to new media writing(s)
• The historical context of new media writing(s)
