英国《卫报》7月14日发布了08年度“英国媒体最具权力100人”排行榜榜单,谷歌创始人谢尔盖·布林(Sergey Brin)和拉里·佩奇(Larry Page)位居榜首.
《卫报》将榜单的头名授予布林和佩奇,其原因在于该报在考量经济、文化和政治影响力的基础上,认为“谷歌具有对媒体无孔不入的影响”.排在榜单次席的是传 媒大亨鲁珀特·默多克(Rupert Murdoch)之子——詹姆斯·默多克(James Murdoch ),他是英国天空电视台董事长,同时身兼新闻集团欧洲和亚洲事务部主席和CEO.其父鲁珀特·默多克则位列榜单第五位.

去年,布林和佩奇的头榜位置被谷歌CEO埃里克·施密特(Eric Schmidt)所取代,今年他俩则卷土重来,再夺榜首席位.

《卫报》认为“二者在(谷歌)这一硅谷搜索巨头中扮演着高姿态的角色.”

此外,苹果的史蒂夫·乔布斯(Steve Jobs)、微软的史蒂夫·鲍尔默(Steve Ballmer)也进入了榜单的前十名.去年《卫报》公布的这份榜单较以往相比进出者众多,数名传媒界的新秀挤入了前十名,而许多老面孔则意外落榜.(志伟)
