In an
article published on
the INA's
media review site

Nikos Smyrnaios
recalls that the attacks of September 11, 2001 marked a turning point in the dissemination of information online, by changing the consumption habits of the information but also the production of this information on the internet. That day, it was a Google engineer who, not finding news related to the attacks on the search engine, had the idea of creating Google News. At the microphone of
