[...] From a posting at the Nieman Lab blog: (seen first on Twitter) I also asked Schmidt about the concept of a “hyperpersonalized news stream,” coined by Google VP Marissa Mayer to describe a customized flow of information from a broad range of news sources. Does Google have aspirations to build on that concept? Schmidt: We have about ten news stream ideas, of which hyperpersonalization is one. And, again, I’d rather not talk about specific products or even prioritize them, but I would make the following observation: In five or ten years, what will the primary news reader look like? [...]

[...] What I can see is that a lot of papers are dying, but at the same time, a lot of papers are still in circulation. The decline of papers is a lot more complicated. Papers are moving online, but I don’t really think the main issue should be the battle between print and the Web. Print and the Web can help each other, they just need to learn how to work together.

After seeing the changes in the 40 years since I entered the professional of journalism I can see the following scenario in the not-distant future: newspapers running streams of news on-line with different entry levels for the different requirements of readers – (a) those who follow news regularly, (b) the occasional/casual reader who is tickled by some sudden development, (c) the indifferent reader who wants sometimes to know where he is living.

I think that one of the reasons Google probably decided to add a “blog” label to their news stream is not to say that blogs are less legitimate but to protect themselves from accusations that they are reporting opinions as news. By adding a “blog” label they simplify things so they don’t have to label it “editorial” – which is essentially the role many blogs play. While some blogs are making a reputable name for themselves others have absolutely no guarantee of truth and no desire to provide one. By labeling all blogs google can claim innocence if one of the blogs they source says something untrue.

This interview is another proof that Google is well prepared to become a newspaper on its own. With more and more newspapers dying and more and more journalists dismissed and eager to produce news in their blogs, you can imagine what will happen … a news (market) metamorphosis will take place.

“more personalized, much deeper, capable of deeper navigation into a subject. Also, show me the differential. Since you know what you told me yesterday, just tell me what changed today. Don’t repeat everything.”

Doesn’t that mean that there will be different forms of content for different levels of consumption?

Not all news will be read on the mobile platform. The headlines and the appetizers will be, for sure. Shortform content may be looked at and interacted with while “mobile.” We will consume a large volume of information quickly this way. The result is there will be demand for longform content to be consumed and participated with in a more intensive way (the tool will not be as significant as the setting and motive). We may not consume as much volume of data this way, but we’ll spend a lot of time learning and participating with this content. Net: the facility to consume more information quickly will create more time for content we learn from and actively participate with.

The implication of all this is that packaging and brand marketing are going to be much more critical to the future of media. I did a post called 2020 this week http://bit.ly/4xMi2L that imagines what the media marketplace will look like when, media programming companies, ranging from Disney to Harpo to Time to McClatchy, buy content, technology, package them and market them as brands.

I work with the Google News team and wanted to provide more detail on our blog-labeling policy. It reads:

Google News strives to provide you with access to as many sources of news and perspectives on current events as possible. Many users have asked us to let them know when they’re clicking on a blog article in Google News. To satisfy this request, articles published in a blog format appear with a (blog) tag next to the publication name. (We add similar tags to video, press release, satire, and subscription content.)

Blogs typically identify themselves as such, and adhere to standard blog formatting by displaying regular entries in order from newest to oldest. Websites that organize their articles in a more editorial fashion and employ a complex layout are generally not considered blogs. We acknowledge the difficulty in characterizing blogs and the rapidly changing publishing landscape, but we also hope to provide useful ways of helping you select what you want to read. If you find a source in Google News you believe to be mislabeled, please send us the name of that publication, and we’ll review it.

The policy and a form for contacting us can be found on our Google News help center: http://www.google.com/support/News/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=164743

Google link-throughs might increase our page views, but if you think advertisers in little old Stroudsburg, Pa., are dumb enough to believe the people who clicked from California and New Zealand are potential customers of their pizza stores, clothing stores and food stores, I’d be glad to sell you a piece of that action. We can get those outside-the-area eyeballs, but they don’t represent a real market demographic for 98 percent of our available online advertisers.
