New Google news? (and the big will become bigger).
I have read a few articles recently over the New Scientist article that talks about a new way of ranking Google news so that sources with more 'authority' can come out on top.
Frankly, I usually go to Google news because I am actually looking for the small independent media that can say reveal and criticize more than the big ones. A new algorithm that would place the brand names on the top will really not be classified as something marvellous for me (if I wanted to see what CNN has to say about Iraq I would go to the CNN site and wouldnt go to Google news).
Finding ways in which the big guys become bigger and the small guys smaller is no real good news to me. As it is not so good news to hear of possible 'manipulations' to the search engine results pages. Whatever these may serve...
