News Paper STRIKE!


Barnett, Emma. "Rupert Murdoch to remove News Corp's content from Google 'in months'." Telegraph.co.uk. 13 November 2009.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/mediatechnologyandtelecoms/digital-media/6559694/Rupert-Murdoch-to-remove-News-Corps-content-from-Google-in-months.html


Jonathan Miller (Digital officer of News Corp) say he is ready to block all internet access to the news paper. Google is to vast and the News industry can not stay afloat if you can access it for free on the internet. Google is a gigantic research device and it is really putting a dent in the news papers budget. Some news papers only let you view the first couple paragraphs of each article, but once one person get it they can post it on another web page that is easily accessed by google. This defeats the purpose of the news companies. Mr. Miller said they will be taking action on this in the next few months.

I can see why the news papers are getting mad about this. You really can look up anything on google. for instance I looked up the news article for this and it didn't cost me a penny. I have a feeling that if they take there news of the internet that they will soon be over looked and the will dramatically loose business. Personally I love google and I do not have any problem with how vast the search is. It will be interesting to see what comes next in the News paper strike.
