This essay proposes a new theoretical framework, the differentiation/de-differentiation framework, to help understand the evolving power dynamics between news industry and tech industry from institutional, relational, and dialectical perspectives. This study examines two waves of de-differentiation and two waves of differentiation between the two sectors and investigates the driving forces behind these changing trends. The proposed framework in this study makes contributions to a better understanding of the dynamics, complexities, and future trends in the changing media and tech environment
