\u201cOur users trust us and put much greater faith in us than in any other source of information, because they sense that people haven\u2019t paid to appear in our search results. Of course, we have ads, but we don\u2019t accept any payments to modify the results provided by our search engine. If we did, we\u2019d fail the principles of the Internet itself.\u201d This is how Richard Gingras<\/strong>, the Vice President of News at Google, defended the position taken by the Big G<\/strong>, after France adopted the Copyright law of the European Union.<\/p>\n

In an interview with the former editor of La Repubblica<\/em>, Marco Calabresi<\/strong>, on the Glocal<\/u><\/strong> stage, Gingras replied to French publishers and journalists \u201cwho stated that, if they hadn\u2019t allowed us to show the previews of their articles, [a circumstance defined by the French implementation of the Copyright law of the European Union, ed.<\/em>], we\u2019d have excluded them from the search results. This is an objective mistake; we\u2019re not going to change the way we show our search results.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the contrary, after the implementation of the regulation, \u201cwe suggested new protocols to them, that allowed the journalists themselves, through their publishing system, to decide whether we can use a preview of their articles or videos. But we were clear: we\u2019re not going to pay to show those contents. To do so would mean violating our principles; the law doesn\u2019t allow it and it would be inappropriate for the nature of the open web<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Participation in Varese\u2019s<\/strong> digital journalism festival also provided an opportunity to talk about his view of the future of journalism. \u201cIn 1977<\/strong>, they told me: if you\u2019re interested in the future of media, stay close to technology. At the time, it wasn\u2019t so obvious.\u201d This position does not imply an uncritical adherence to what is new; \u201ctechnology has value, but it has no values,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n

The last frontier is artificial intelligence. \u201cWe dedicate a lot of our time to understanding how to develop computer-assisted reporting<\/strong>. Today, much of my role entails working with the ecosystem, on the one hand, to reduce the costs of journalism, and on the other, providing reporters with new tools.\u201d<\/p>\n

But (Calabresi pressed), do the new digital tools make everyone a reporter? \u201cNo, but it gives everyone the opportunity to become one. I think one of the great things about the freedom of expression is that you don\u2019t need a license to be a journalist. And you shouldn\u2019t need one.\u201d More generally, \u201cthe role of journalists is to provide people with all the information they need to become active citizens. You mustn\u2019t tell people what to think, but how to think.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
