Open Journalism & the Open Web

Google's irony: There is something that make noise in my head since a while... Let me put in this way: Since the beginning of the Internet, two forces appear to discuss the status quo at the net: on the one hand, large corporations and some states they seek to keep the Internet standard, and on the other, other corporations, organizations and users - and even some states - who claim that the standard should rest open and neutral. The big irony is that Google is staying with the status quo of the internet using the two forces simultaneously: while keeping their algorithms closed, keeps the global business of advertising, attacks the privacy of individuals as never before happened in the history of mankind and is abandoning Internet neutrality, commit to hacker's culture the spirit of open source for web applications such as for mobile phones and convince thousands of developers that open source is the solution of the future and that "Sharing is good." As a journalist, who works in a graphic medium that thrives on publicity, there also is ironic that we live by, for and with Google - a tool that seems fundamental to journalism - though this might be a serious problem in the future (well, it's already happening) . Internet needs of the newsmedia and hackers to keep alert, and open paths where others want to close them. But, the thing is: can journalist live (pay the bill, buy food, etc) in this busines model?
