This editorial column introduces five cutting-edge (in 2003, and some still) webtexts for the new media issue of Kairos. The column also discusses the history and reasons for choosing new media for this issue, definitions of new media that focus on how we distinguished it from other genres of online scholarship, why new media is necessary to explore in scholarship, and the changes in editorial processes we struggled with because of the new media texts that were submitted. (Historical note: This issue of Kairos launched my research agenda into new media scholarship.)
