1.1.3: Identifying Your Medium
An often overlooked element of the rhetorical situation is medium. Medium (or the plural "media") is the means or way an author uses to present a composition to their audience. This can be through a written essay, a video, an email, or a social media post, to name a few. Medium is directly impacted by your audience and purpose, since the medium you select should be the one that best engages your readers and holds their attention.
In your own experience, how do you see media used to engage with an audience and present a purpose? How does changing media impact the rhetorical situation?
