A Google Approach to Melbourne News |
Well it's not quite Melbourne News, but Google's Australian news service introduced last year is as good as any online news source.
Headlines from Google NEWS Australia are automatically updated every 3 minutes from 4,500 news sources and updated continuously.
Readers are able to determine the headlines they see plus receive Email Updates. Google News is offered in several versions, each tailored to a different national audience: Australia, Canada, France...
The headlines that appear on Google news are selected entirely by computer algorithms, based on how and where the stories appear elsewhere on the web. There are no human editors at Google selecting or grouping the headlines and no individual decides which stories get top placement.
Google News presents information culled from approximately 4,500 news sources worldwide and automatically arranged to present the most relevant news first. Topics are updated continuously throughout the day, so you will see new stories each time you check the page. Google has developed an automated grouping process for Google News that pulls together related headlines and photos from thousands of sources worldwide -- enabling you to see how different news organisations are reporting the same story. You pick the item that interests you, then go directly to the site which published the account you wish to read.
Google News is highly unusual in that it offers a news service compiled solely by computer algorithms without human intervention. 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.
You can trace the history of a developing issue by clicking the "sort by date"function on the page containing all reports on a given topic. This will arrange the stories in chronological order, with the most recent report placed first.
