SIGIR09: Search Engine Predeliction Towards News Media Providers
 |
I saw a nice poster from U. Glasgow which shows that different search engines exhibit different biases on which news media providers are returned as results for various queries. E.g., one search engine avoids New York Times, another avoids Reuters. They can’t tell whether these biases are intentional or side effects of ranking algorithms, but it’s important and interesting either way. Click the thumbnail for a larger image.
