Research “search engine comparison”

When searching alternative media in a library database I have the opportunity to look at specific subjects, times and dates, and categories. It was relevant to search and look through older stuff from when I was a kid or before I was born from the periods of 1970’s to 1995. The information that had been written lately deals a lot with the criticism of such mass media corporations. When searching Alternative Media in the Google search engine, and Google is my favorite. It almost seems that I have no choice but to use my own keyword to describe my research. With a plain search it will spit out cites that suggest alternative media or companies who distribute alternative news. When using keywords with Google I have found no help just a bunch of looked up people who are facing justice, because hard news is at the top. The better is library catalogs where authors explain the shift from mass media to alternative media.
