After Google expanded its online book search in September to include several newspapers, magazines are now also being scanned. As Google announced in its blog, US publishers such as Hearst, Johnson Publishing and New York Media have entered into a partnership. Initially, New York Magazine, Ebony and Popular Science, the latter dating back to 1870, will be digitized. As is usual with book searches, the pages will be searchable in full text and contain all images in color. Over time, Google intends to expand the offering further.
