print v online

The New York times print article versus online article (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/29/business/29bill.html?ex=1380427200&en=933b094dee82628a&ei=5124).

The articles are both written exactly the same and have the same amount of words. However, they are presented in different contexts. The print version starts on the front page with the headline above the fold and then continues on A15. On the other hand, the print version is presented in its entirety on one page. The online article allows you to on certain words or phrases in the article such as Federal Reserve or Henry M. Paulson Jr. which redirects you to a definition or small biography. Neither version of the article is accompanied by pictures.
