[Air-l] not the new word

[Ed Lamoureux]

I don't have one for "it."
but I would like to note something that many of you know . . . just as 
a reminder.

Many of my (former and present) colleagues in Departments of 
Communication have taken to referring to their Radio/Video/Television 
areas as "electronic media."

Just as their work often overlaps with computationally based digitally 
enhanced production (new media); the name "electronic media" also 
overlaps. Yet, I suspect that inside 5 years, Communication 
Department-based academics in America will, for the most part, sub the 
term electronic media for "radio/television" fairly broadly.

So that one's probably not a good one for computer stuff.
