Google is only a first step in doing research, and it may not be the best one, writes John Wihbey, who lists his "go-to" research databases in a Poynter post. Wihbey says “conventional Web searches — just Googling it — won’t necessarily turn up the best research materials; search algorithms don’t always prominently highlight studies and reports that are seldom linked to or visited. There’s also the problem of increasing 'personalization' of search results.”
