“The use of new digital media in conjunction with conventional print publication is one of the many important contributions that Joy Parr’s recent Sensing Changes: Technologies, Environments, and the Everyday, 1953-2003 (2010, UBC Press) makes to our understanding of the past.”
That’s the opening sentence of Jay Young’s excellent new post on historians and new media. See here.
You should also check out the website Parr created to go along with the book.

I’m going to wrap the graduate methods course around media history, so this might make a good capstone read for the end of the term. Thanks for the links!
Excellent.
