Our $1 billion investment in partnerships with news publishers
There are imminent plans to bring the feature to Google News on iOS as well, and finally to Search and Discover at some point in the future. Some of the unique features of Google News Showcase include:
- More perspective from publishers
- A timeline of events
- Deeper understanding with key bullet points
- Related articles
In an announcement, Google states:
“These panels give participating publishers the ability to package the stories that appear within Google’s news products, providing deeper storytelling and more context through features like timelines, bullets, and related articles. Other components like video, audio, and daily briefings will come next.”
Google has signed partnerships with 200 publications across the world. All will be able to make their own editorial decisions over their content is presented.
$1 Billion Investment in News Content
Google News Showcase is being developed as part of a $1 billion investment in partnerships with news publishers. Nearly 200 partnerships have already been signed with leading publications across Germany, Brazil, Argentina, Canada, the UK, and Australia.
Publications include award-winning national, regional, and local titles like:
- Der Spiegel
- Stern
- Die Zeit
- Folha de S.Paulo
- Band
- Infobae
- El Litoral
- GZH
- WAZ
- SooToday
Google says the number of news publications will grow as News Showcase expands to other countries including India, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Google News Showcase will start rolling out in Germany and Brazil today and come to other countries over time. This is a long-term commitment, Google says, to the “overall sustainability of our news partners around the world.”
