Google and the Press

''If it isn't on Google, it doesn't exist'' (Jimmy Wales)
Google could be seen as the dominator of our online world due to its largest web-based search-engine.
Starting from its evolution in 1996 the search-engine became an irreplaceable part of the internet nowadays. Their effort of contributing to almost every need of internet-users can be seen in their creation of certain programs, such as Google Maps, Google Earth, Google News, Google Mail, Google Finance etc. Whereas Google News is an automatic news-website and provides the users articles without demanding payments. The system choses and collects articles from other different websites and compiles them all in Google News.
For this reason many newspapers started accusing Google for violating the copyright and sued them for exploiting the newspaper for their own profit.
In France, the news and Google agreed upon Google's duty to enable the French news the successful entry into the world of digital literacy by facilitating their transition to the online websites with a onetime payment of a 60 million fund.
With this agreement Google declared itself ready to comply with teaching the newspaper how to take a step into the online world and increase their income not only in France but also in other European countries due to their financial complaints.
The ongoing and increasing number of internet-users worldwide represents a threat to the newspapers' business of paper formats. The majority of users do not see any reason for paying for the normal newspaper if they could also check the news comfortable infront of their computers.
Therefore the newspaper are forced to focus more on their online businesses in order to enable an increase of their incomes and to become successful competitors in the online market.
However, the agreement with Google gives them the perfect chance to use Google's help for establishing a good and stable position in the web in exchange for giving the permission to Google to collect their articles for Google News.
Google News has made until then a great development as it is shown that the majority of the newspaper articles are accessed by the internet-users through the search-engine.
But nevertheless one should esteem the newspaper's efforts and be aware of the Google uprising power which is already difficult to be tamed.
