With the New York Times both in print and online up and ready lets go and see what some things are similar between the two different forms of media from the same place. Both of them share the same style in writing in the title, which is good because it would look strange if there was one font on the print side and then a font for the online one. Both media's talk about the massacre that just happened at Fort Hood, Texas. There is a difference about what topics they were talking about, the print version of the New York Times talks about what lead him up to the shooting and all the emotional trauma that was apparently happening during his time in the army and all the things that happened after 9/11, where the online media is saying that he was in contact with a extremist who wanted to the Muslims to rise up and attack the American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan because they had taken control of their land.
There is also a lot differences between the two media's. Since the online one is constantly changing world, as I write this blog, it is already ahead of what the print is for the next day, so for example the top story on the print is about the shooting, whereas the online is about that woman have been ascended into the Iraqi elite police force and they grab your attention with a picture of many woman in military uniforms looking very imitating just like they need to be. One of the biggest things that are different between the actual papers and online is that the story about the health care plan that Obama is trying to pass. In the paper, all it is words, as it can only be, while online where they are open to more different ways, there is a video post describing what is going on with the health care plan, which is more interactive and engages the person watching. The print also talks about Nelson Mandela, former president of South Africa as a great leader during his time in office.
Also another thing that is completely different about media's is that the online can incorporate advertisements on the side of the website to help promote other things, the paper has the advertisements, but they can not change as much as the online one, since the advertisements could change with just a simple refresh of the page to make different ones appear to show new things
