Rory Perry's Weblog Law, technology, and the courts
Monday, September 23, 2002
No humans were harmed or even used . . . And so goes the disclaimer at the redesigned Google News page, which now sports a portal-type interface, with photographs and more color. Google makes a subtle argument that its method of collecting news items is inherently superior to the human-editor (bottom line ?) driven method widely used by most news organizations:
Google News is highly unusual in that it offers a news service compiled solely by computer algorithms without human intervention. Google employs no editors, managing editors, or executive editors. While the sources of the news vary in perspective and editorial approach, their selection for inclusion is done without regard to political viewpoint or ideology. While this may lead to some occasionally unusual and contradictory groupings, it is exactly this variety that makes Google News a valuable source of information on the important issues of the day.
The differing perspective of the news stories Google gathers is my favorite feature of this service. This type of "neutral" news gathering is a good complement to the emergence of weblogs as a force for enlarging our perspectives. 10:56:02 AM [Permanent Link]
