In this roundtable presentation, seven presenters produced papers or video descriptions answering the question “what is rhetoric research?” Session chairs Jenn Fishmann and Stacy Pigg mixed the individual presentations together into a whole that showcased several threads running through each presenter’s remarks. I addressed how editing digital media scholarship is a form of rhetoric research through showing the intellectual labor of editorial processes.
