"No true exclusives any more"

Writing Magazine's January print edition includes an interesting comment in Stephen Waddington's Technology Focus section:

"Google is now under fire for allegedly snuffing out the glorious exclusive for the world's press. Some in media circles fear that Google's reach and immediacy mean that there are no true exclusives any more, as when news breaks no readers have time to consider who got it first before a raft of other reports produce their own stories."

Sadly he gives no sources as to who exactly is criticising Google, so we'll just have to do our own research.
