This article examines scholarly conversations for discussions of new media in College Composition and Communication, Research in the Teaching of English, Computers and Composition, and Kairos from 2000–2010. The author argues new media is a part of a larger, complex scholarly conversation that seeks to position rhetoric and composition within contemporary society while contributing to an understanding of the frameworks used to discuss composing, making the field relevant. The author analyzes published documents in the ten-year time period through a combination grounded theory, open coding approach. Using interrater reliability, the author's empirical analysis of the field's published scholarly conversations supports the argument that new media functions as one opportunity for the field to maintain relevance among a broad community of non-academic writers.
