And what would define "new media"?
The support where it is presented?
The support used to create it? The
languages? How is an audiovisual
narrative in Flash different from
an audiovisual narrative in VHS?
Is the e-book "Moby Dick" the same
thing as the book "Moby Dick"?

But aren't computer games also
"new media"?
