Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin�s Remediation: understanding new media sets up the theoretical parameters and close-reading examples to describe interactions between old and new media."

Grusin their theory on the topic is the characteristics of new media and its continuous remediating media outlets such as television, radio, journalism and other old media. Remediation also spreads out and takes two different forms to explain it, such as immediacy and hypermediacy in its media form."
