Google announced today the launching of a new web-based tool that will allow users to explore existing digitized newspaper articles and more recent online content dating back to the last 200 years.

Called Google News Archive Search , the new service searches hundreds of different news sources — both free and subscription-based news outlets — to answer a user's query. Results are presented a la Google News search, with "related" articles about the same event grouped together, and free and paid-for articles displayed side by side.

The search also allows browsing the historical overview or timeline so users can identify key time periods and get a sense of the chronology of events. The service is accessed through the news archive website or the Google news page, and is also activated everytime there are relevant results to a user's search on google.com.

Google's project partners include the New York Times and the Guardian news sites. Other sources are news aggregators — sites that collect and display news stories from multiple sources.

With the launch of the news archive search, a BBC report noted how it "extends Google's influence over how the world's information is indexed, searched and accessed."

"As a scholar and historian I want as much information as possible, accessible to as many people as possible at the least cost, and the extent to which Google is doing that is compelling."

i do hope they include the news reports from the Marcos era, and be able to compare the lapdog press and the mosquito press (and perhaps compare them to the media at present).
