Google News
Google News is not a newspaper. It is a collection of articles from news sources from around the world. Google takes articles from all newspapers and lets the reader read any of the articles for free.
Consider the following questions:
Is Google News a good service in a democracy? Is Google News helping the journalism industry or harming it?
Think about this before you answer because it?s more complex than it first appears. Talk it out with a partner if necessary.
