You may have missed it, but there has been some consternation over the past few days about press releases appearing on GoogleNews ahead of actual news (read: editorial) stories.
I’m not sure why anyone is getting upset. It’s unlikely that you would use GoogleNews as anything more than a primitive news portal. Do people also think the newswire feeds posted on sites like Yahoo’s message boards are real news? I don’t think so. GoogleNews is useful for research and maybe an overview of what’s hot, no more.
Karlin Lillington points out that many legitimate news sources more or less cut and paste releases anyway…
