''Search Engine'' was a weekly Canadian radio show that aired on CBC Radio One, then a dedicated podcast distributed by the CBC and finally by TVOntario. It was hosted by Jesse Brown, who also co-produced the show with Geoff Siskind and Andrew Parker. Cory Doctorow, novelist and editor of Boing Boing, was also a regular contributor. The program explored the effects of the Internet on politics and culture. The show has focused on stories involving copyright, video games, and China, as well as the social impact and technology surrounding them. == Overview == ''Search Engine'' first aired on September 6, 2007. It discussed Internet phenomena. Unlike other shows, however, ''Search Engine'' concentrates on ways in which the Internet influences other aspects of life and culture. Though much of the subject matter he deals with is serious, Brown generally takes a lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek approach to his material. Originally every episode began with a set of keywords - teaser phrases that summarize the major stories for that episode. The term "keyword" ties into the name of the show as something a search engine uses to categorize things of importance. Other Internet terms were regularly invoked and adapted to the purpose of attempting to describe unusual or unprecedented technology-related cultural phenomena. The program ran for one half hour. Usually there were three in-depth stories, each of which was separated by a clip of Creative Commons licensed music. Other, smaller topics were occasionally interspersed. Often these consisted of updates on past stories, or addresses to the listeners about the show itself. In keeping with an open source theme, the creators of ''Search Engine'' utilized the show's online blog to communicate and collaborate with listeners. The radio stories feed off of opinions or information gleaned from listener commentary. Follow-up pieces are at times justified by direct listener response. Additionally, listeners are often openly encouraged on the air to contribute to the betterment of specific aspects of the show. The show had several occasional features that were periodically played: *The Best of Craigslist: Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster reading selected outlandish posts from his company's site. *Copyfight: Digital rights columnist Cory Doctorow commentary on controversies springing from issues with Internet copyright law. *Flipback: A segment that showcases recordings resurrected from the Internet Archive. *Another recurring topic investigated on ''Search Engine'' is the Internet Bill of Rights, a set of universal standards concerning online liberties drafted and spearheaded by the Internet Governance Forum.〔(IP Justice » Internet Governance Forum (IGF) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Search Engine (radio show)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
