Google launches News Lab

Interesting. A so called broad coalition to "verify eyewitness media and use it in news reporting".

Could someone from the media startup sector comment whether this is a land grab from Google in the news/journalism sector? There have been quite some endeavours to bring innovative tools into the land of journalism. This one sounds exciting.

As a documentary photographer, I'm very excited for this.
