Easy online acess to old articles!

Any piece of information can be reported accordingly to the five Ws (who? what? where? when? why? and how?). For instance, this model can be used to report what Maggie Shiels informed the audience of BBC news about, on her article “Old newspapers get online launched”.
In fact Maggie Shiels informed people about the actions of the legendary Google Company that initiate the entry of old news papers on the web. This attempt was announced by Google’s vice president of search products at the TechCrunch50 conference in San Francisco. The aim of this operation as explained by Punit Soni, Google product manager, is to give the opportunity to web users to enlarge their access to all existing news papers. Thus, the company produced a new algorithm to organize better the archives, and created partnerships with many newspapers to make online copies of their articles.
I think this is an innovating idea because newspapers give an idea of the values and norms of the society they represent. Since the major purpose of newspapers is to deliver objectively information, it also shows how society evolves and changes throughout time. Moreover, it is price less for the user and allows people to easily get aware of past events.
Thanks to new technologies!
