Abstract
Drawing upon the notions of remediation and bricolage, the present study investigates the content relationship of print and online news. The article analyses the main characteristics and changes occurring in the form of print and online news at a time when cultural, technological and economic imperatives nurture a new ethos in the practices of professionals and organizations. Print and online newspapers in Greece seem to share a symbiotic relationship, with the representational power of the print—articulated in news form and relevant news values and criteria—still being strong. Although displacement effects are hard to claim, both print and online media tend to refashion themselves. It remains to be seen whether this refashioning process will lead the two media to greater amalgamation, bringing them even to merge into one or whether divergence processes will prevail, generating distinct news forms.

Notes
1. Main characteristics of content and form (visual elements, sourcing, item position, specific online characteristics, etc.) and content overlap between the print and online editions, although examined, are not included in the present article, as they are presented in a separate analysis.
2. The percentage of online stories which rely on the print edition in 2009 amounts to 18.1 per cent (3.1 per cent exhibit partial reliance whereas 15 per cent of stories are identical). Interestingly enough, in 2011, 47.9 per cent of the online stories rely on the print edition (26.8 per cent of which are partially common and 21.1 are identical).
