Progressive Google News?
November 6, 2003 |
Around September 11th, 2003, I started noticing news from Alternet and even Guerrilla News Network on the front page of Google News. Ever since reading a story in Wired Magazine about the politics of Google, I've been interested in how the algorithms that produce Google News shape our perception of reality.
I also would love to see a similar algorithm that produced displayed photographs more heavily than text for televised masses. Of course it would be nice if they carried some Creative Commons licenses to reuse, but either way, I think Google News could be useful for young students and others who aren't the best text readers to get a better sense of the days events than the 8 o'clock news.
