Rethinking & redesigning Google News

my notes ( ? )

How much more could Google News be? See "... a presentation that a German designer came up with that involved a wholesale redesign and re-thinking of what Google News is and does." Lots of good stuff here. Particularly like how 'smart personalisation' is used to help penetrate the filter bubble: "automatically suggest related stories on a news topic that are from a different perspective than the original — as a way of encouraging readers to expose themselves to alternative viewpoints." ... and aggregating user's social content related to news items: "Google News could surface commentary on news events from individuals who are actually on the scene " Why not? Perhaps because "Google News, like many other aspects of Google, is run by engineers and product managers, not by journalists " - Google News: The biggest missed opportunity in media right now — Tech News and Analysis
