    Google testing an app to make it effortless for anyone to publish local news stories. That could be good! Tho no one will be paid, nothing will be edited, and reporting will still take effort. http://slate.com/...

    Google launched “Google Bulletin” in Nashville today, and almost nobody outside Nashville noticed. Which maybe proves the need for it? http://slate.com/...
