JOURNALISTS : introducing the News Lab
Visit us at g.co/newslab
In the past decade, better technology and an open Internet have led to a revolution in how news is created, distributed, and consumed. And given Google’s mission to ensure quality information is accessible and useful everywhere, we want to help ensure that innovation in news leads to a more informed, more democratic world.
That’s why we’ve created the News Lab, a new effort at Google to empower innovation at the intersection of technology and media.
Expanding on last week's announcement for YouTube Newswire and other tools aimed at citizen journalists, Google today unveiled a new initiative called the News Lab, a larger effort to provide resources for journalists from all backgrounds.
In a blog post outlining the goals for the News Lab, Google explains that it wants to collaborate with journalists and entrepreneurs to help map out the future of media. To that end, the company has created a destination for reporters to better leverage Google products in their work. While that doesn't mean designing new productsper se, it does mean identifying best practices for newsrooms using apps like Maps, Search, YouTube, and Trends to better track stories in real time, tell stories using data, and distribute them on Google channels.
In addition, the company is already working on partnerships with newsrooms to work on specific data projects, while also partnering with media startups like Matter and Hacks/Hackers to develop new ideas and tools for next-gen journalists.
All this signals that Google, like a number of its competitors, views media and journalism as an industry to invest resources in. After all, developing a clear focus on quality news means attracting more users — and advertisers — to its services. Facebook already launched its Newswire tool last year, aimed expressly at journalists, and debuted "instant articles" last month to strengthen its dominance in news distribution. Meanwhile, Snapchat recently snapped up CNN's Peter Hamby to head up its nascent news division. Finally, Twitter revealed last week that its forthcoming Project Lightning feature is built on the work of media professionals curating the best news on the social network. In short, tech companies very much want to be media platforms. The Verge
