Now That's What You Called News 2011

The news we search for on the internet in the privacy of our own laptops, smartphones and tablets can bear scant relation to the stories radio, TV and newspapers present us with every day. Often we want to know about a whole host of other events, but even when it's the same news, when and why we search for it is usually very different. And increasingly the internet itself is at the heart of these stories.

Now That's What You Called News 2011 is a fascinating and revealing top 20 countdown of some of the biggest, most interesting, colourful and bizarre news stories we explored online over the past twelve months.

Featuring an entertaining and interesting mix of both the serious and the less so, it explores the big internet stories of the year, from celebrity to politics, sport to economics, entertainment to natural disasters.

With contributions from such well known web-savvy newshounds and commentators as Bryan Dobson, Mary O'Rourke, Ivan Yates, Matt Cooper, Evelyn Cusack, Mark Little, David McWilliams and Jacqui Hurley, it's a sharp, witty, intelligent, fun-filled look back at 2011.
