The tradition of cultural journalism has largely been one of print media. While many types of journalism, such as political or local coverage, have adopted ways of storytelling that make use of the Internet and reach across different genres and platforms, cultural journalism has remained more or less print-based, or logocentric. Among the established subtypes of cultural journalism, the most logocentric tradition is that of reviewing. This chapter adopts and develops Henry Jenkins's definition of transmedia storytelling and asks which of its traits have been employed in the cultural criticism published in daily newspapers. Drawing on a sample of reviews published in Finland's largest daily newspapers (n = 714 reviews in print), this study examines how reviews have changed as a result of being published online. This study found that reviews still remain very much bound to print argumentation and that online affordances are sparsely used, even if there is potential for increasing transparency or contextualisation of the production of reviews. In describing the condition of `rnonomedia', the analysis attempts to evoke sociological imaginings of alternative ways to conduct reviews and a future of reviewing as potential transmedial phenomena.
