London - London Homepage. 2020 - COMRADITY Transmedia Design. The year is 2020. Media Programming Companies, e.g., Warner Brothers, Dreamworks, Pixar, Time, Disney, 20th Century Fox, Newscorp, Viacom, Gannet, McClatchy, Omnimedia, Harpo, dominate the industry.

He took questions from reporters this afternoon at Google’s offices in Cambridge, and I asked him, among other things, why Google News had recently begun attaching a “(blog)” label to some news sources — a move I criticized last month.
Schmidt resorted to bringing up bloggers’ moms: Me: A very small question. Google News very recently added a label for blogs, to differentiate from non-blogs. It seemed weird in 2009 to make that distinction. I wondered, did you have any input on that or —? Eric Schmidt: I was not directly involved in that. That is, for what it’s worth, not the distinction Google News is making: The “(blog)” label is supposed to be attached to any news published with blogging software. Schmidt: We have a responsibility.
