Google News bleibt offene Plattform fĂŒr alle deutschen Verlage
Google News entstand in den Nachwehen des 11. September 2001. Unser Kollege, der Softwareentwickler Krishna Bharat, war damals frustriert darĂŒber, dass er zu einem Ereignis, das die Welt erschĂŒtterte, nirgendwo die ganze Vielfalt von EinschĂ€tzungen und Stimmen zu diesem Thema finden konnte. So entwickelte er seine Vision, Nachrichten von ĂŒberall auf der Welt leicht zugĂ€nglich zu machen und es den Menschen zu erleichtern, unterschiedliche Standpunkte kennenzulernen. Aus diesem Hobbyprojekt eines einzelnen Entwicklers hat sich Google News zu einem Produkt entwickelt, das wir in ĂŒber 60 LĂ€ndern und Sprachen ĂŒberall auf der Welt anbieten. Es verbindet die Menschen mit Nachrichten und bringt Verlagen wertvolle Reichweite fĂŒr ihre Websites.
Google News indexiert Nachrichten, die bereits im Internet zugĂ€nglich sind. Es ist ein freier und umfassender Dienst, der nicht durch GeschĂ€ftsbeziehungen beeinflusst wird. Auf diese Weise wird sichergestellt, dass alle Perspektiven vertreten sind, die der groĂen Medienkonzerne wie die kleiner lokaler Zeitungen oder Blogs. SelbstverstĂ€ndlich können Verlage jederzeit entscheiden, ob sie ihre Inhalte aus Google News entfernen. Die meisten Verlage jedoch prĂ€sentieren sich dort gerne, aus gutem Grund: Google bringt ihnen echten Mehrwert, indem es jede Menge Traffic auf Verlagsseiten lenkt – pro Monat sind dies weltweit ĂŒber sechs Milliarden Besuche. Auch in Deutschland entscheiden sich viele Medien dafĂŒr, ihre Inhalte bei Google News zu zeigen, von kleinen Nachrichtendiensten bis zu groĂen VerlagshĂ€usern.
Google beugt sich der deutschen BĂŒrokratie
„WĂŒnschen Sie, dass Inhalte Ihrer Webseiten in Google News erscheinen?“, fragt Google kĂŒnftig jeden Websitebetreiber. Erreichbar ist diese ĂŒber einen Link in den Einstellungen. Wer die Frage mit Ja beantwortet, der willigt ein, dass seine Texte und Videos „unentgeltlich in Google News aufgenommen werden sollen“.

The Transatlantic Free Trade Agreement (TAFTA) between the US and EU is currently being negotiated. The deal plans to create the worldâs largest free trade area, âprotectâ investment and remove âunnecessary regulatory barriersâ. All well and good for big business, but the treaty poses a serious threat for ordinary people as it could weaken labour, social, environmental and consumer protection standards. Given the issues at stake, just how much transparency and democratic accountability is there regarding these negotiations and who is driving the agenda?
