Remediation



Remediation is when something on one type of media is re-created to but used on another type of media. For example, the news has been found on newspapers for a long time. However, when the internet gained popularity, the news was also posted on the web to make the information more available for readers. This also allowed the news companies to enhance their contact by adding much more interactivity and allows them to include more types of content and use links to redirect the reader.

Remediation may take place for a variety of reasons, as mentioned above, one reason is to take advantage of new developments to allow the author to present their content in a much more efficient or interesting way. Alternatively, it could be used as a way to create new content for new forms of media which don’t yet have much content. Alternatively, a company may choose to use a successful title and convert it to another media to provide a whole new experience which users will still find some familiarity with.
