Google Media Tools

Google launched a new portal named Google Media Tools, which is designed for reporters and journalists.

These tools are provided to reporters and journalists to give them additional resources for their stories.

Google said:

Welcome to Google Media Tools. Consider this your starting point to tap into Google’s suite of digital tools that can enhance newsgathering and exposure across television, radio, print and online.

Whether it’s refining your advanced search capabilities, improving audience engagement through Google+, or learning how to visualize data using Google Maps, this website is intended to guide you through all the resources Google offers to journalists.

Google also gives you a way to reach out to them by emailing press@google.com for more details.

The tools are broken into six categories:

• Gather and Organize
• Engage
• Visualize
• Publish
• Develop
• Additional Resources
