ZDNET UK: Public apology to Google
“Clearly, there is no place in modern reporting for this kind of unregulated, unprotected access to readily available facts, let alone in capriciously using them to illustrate areas of concern. We apologize unreservedly, and will cooperate fully in helping Google change people’s perceptions of its role just as soon as it feels capable of communicating to us how it wishes that role to be seen,” the site chided.
In an effort to lift the Google ban hanging over CNET, ZDNet UK issued an apology to Google this week, calling into question the search giant’s decision not to talk with CNET reporters until July 2006.
“Acting under the mistaken impression that Google’s search engine was intended to help research public data, we have in the past enthusiastically abused the system to conduct exactly the kind of journalism that Google finds so objectionable,” the site says in its letter.
