Meet Editor Al Gorithm
“Who needs reporters?" Howard Kurtz asked in his Media Notes column on Google News.Who needs editors?
Well, Google does. Without reporters or editors Google has nothing to feed on, nothing to offer the seekers turning to Google for instant pathways to information. Google doesn’t exist without other Web sites. Google Groups doesn’t have content without the posting of tens of thousands of contributors. And Google News would be the equivalent of a fire without oxygen if the reporters, photographers, editors and others responsible for producing online journalism weren’t doing their jobs.
