Citizen journalism has been on the rise for the last few years, allowing ordinary people to cover events as they happen where they happen. Google’s launch of the News Lab is meant to assist journalists, regardless of experience, with tips and tools to collect information and and produce content. In particular, the News Lab focuses on research, reporting, distributing, and analyzing.
Ensuring that journalism and technologists work together with the News Lab, Google partnered with various organizations such the familiar YouTube Newswire.
