In a Dec. 2 posting, Google made several announcements
concerning its News Showcase.
• Google
will soon start offering people access to paywalled content in partnership with
select news publishers.
Google will
pay participating partners to provide limited access to paywalled content for
News Showcase users. In return, users will register with the news publisher,
providing a way for the publisher to build a relationship with readers.
• A new
type of News Showcase panel includes a list of important articles selected
daily by users’ favorite publishers. For example, if a user follows a news outlet
that covers their local news, they will see daily updates on the most important
local stories, selected by that newsroom. Relevant publications, national and
local, will also now be shown within the For You feed, plus in a dedicated area
to discover new News Showcase publications within Newsstand on Google
News.
• News
Showcase has expanded to Google News on iOS and it will be coming to news.google.com and
Discover soon. News Showcase metrics will soon appear in Search Console so
publishers will have more data to better understand which articles and topics
users are responding to.
