Remediation

I came away with the definition of remediation as one having the ability to coexist in one or more media paradigm consecutively. It is important to not only coexist, but have the ability to understand and function inside of each.

One example of remediation can be found in the newspaper industry. An individual is able to read a paper in print, and (or) online. Choosing which medium offers a more appropriate representation than another is the act of remediation performed by the individual. Each medium has advantages and disadvantages. The online text is constantly replacing itself; where as the print text stays the same.
