> “With News Showcase and the new integration of editorial content of media like Der Spiegel, Google shows that they are serious about supporting quality journalism in Germany,” Stefan Ottlitz, head of product development at Der Spiegel, said in an email.
It would be interesting to see how they choose the partners. Whatever they do, I would imagine new bias accusations being levied.
- texasbigdata 6y agoThe press release suggested they chose Brazil and Germany as test markets and the logo wall appears to imply they grabbed ~10 to 15 news sources in each country. Der Spiegel is about as obvious as a reasonable choice in a 15 item list as possible. The bigger question is in the “timeline” feature how will different news sources be integrated. Aka news source 1 has one event on Jan 1, news source 2 has one on Jan 2, both news source 1 and 2 have one on Jan 3, all on the same topic....what do you show? You can’t show 15x every little development. And who makes that decision? And how? That piece seems controversial.
- Kye 6y agoThat sounds similar to what Techmeme does. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Techmeme#Technology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Techmeme#Technology It shows the top article and then a bunch of other sources on the same news item.
