.
Project statement
.

"We Report - You Decide." «Loogie.net News» is a personalized real-time
online news magazine. It presents the results of individual queries as if
they were ongoing and up-to-date news messages. With Loogie.net an article
can be arranged to your own discretion and you can infiltrate it with your
own input. Thus words can be replaced in articles: Whether you let the pope
beatify your favorite pop star instead of mother Theresa or you offering
yourself to work as a negotiator for Palestine, it is open to you. The text
will not only be read out and sent away - it will also remain stored and be
indexed by Google e.g. and in such a way it will misinform and confuse other
users.

«Loogie.net News» is highly unusual in that it offers news messages compiled
solely by computer algorithms without human intervention.
