From what I can understand, Kairos is a low acceptance rate journal targeted mainly towards scholars with an interest in digital rhetoric. It uses an interesting concept of peer reviews, and has a reputation for being academically trust worthy.
The overall design of the journal is key catching, to the point where I almost found it overwhelming compared to the traditional/standard format. The landing page stands out with its inverse color scheme compared to a normal website, aided by colorful headers for the articles. Each of the articles on Kairos have their own style, showing the diversity of it. Some use visuals, while others rely mainly on the text with a few imagines every once in a while.
The context on Kairos itself seems to be focusing on digital rhetoric in the sense of teaching authorship and rights for online composition. Originally, copyrights were not an issue because everything was in a physical copy. The digital communication allowed for the spread of work online for anyone to use with just a simple search to find. It is important that credit is given when due, and because of this Jiang argues for a model of ownership. Although this can be messy when the creator is not just a human. It brings up the concept to crediting the tools for the creation of the work. Although some laws have changed, it is still under debate who to credit ownership with.
As the Kairos journal has gone on through the years, we can see the growth in technology about it. Pointing out key ideas, such as the use of multimodal composition. Originally, the issues were much more formal. Following the standards students learn throughout school giving it basic style, and without much to look.
