Google News now receives agency reports
Google News now plans to feature news agency reports on its site as well. Until now, the news portal has compiled stories from across the web. In addition, the news is expected to be accompanied by advertisements in the long term.
On Friday, the internet company Google reached an agreement with four news agencies to publish their reports directly on its news site. This was reported by SDA on Saturday. On Friday, Google had announced corresponding license agreements with AFP, AP, the British Press Association and the Canadian Press. Until now, Google News has collected the relevant reports from various websites itself, in particular from newspaper sites. A spokesperson for the Google News division also said that in the long term, the reports would be accompanied by advertising. However, the agreement does not mean that the reports from these agencies will be given preferential treatment, he said. Google News began operations five years ago.
