| News Showcase offers free, premium articles |
Google will soon give readers free access to a selection of subscription-protected articles through the News Showcase, a service that helps news editors pay for high-quality content.
This announcement is part of Google's broader commitment to helping people find the good news.
Google stated that participating partners will be paid to give readers limited access to subscription protected content for News Showcase users.
However, these users still have to register directly with the publisher. Google said: Users log into the message editor in return, which gives the editor the ability to communicate with readers.
When the News Showcase service was launched, Google announced that it would pay news publishers $ 1 billion to sponsor high-quality content on Google News and other parts of its online offering.
News Showcase displays a list of important articles that your favorite editors pick daily.
If you follow news media covering local news, the News Showcase service provides daily updates of major local news as specified by the News Media Room.
This step offers users a new way to find valuable content from news organizations they trust.
Both national and local posts are now featured in the For You feed. Google has also added a dedicated area where you can use Google News newspapers and magazines to discover new news items.
Google also announced that the number of registered partners in the program has doubled since the service was launched in October.
Today, nearly 400 publishers participate in events in the following countries / regions: Germany, Brazil, Argentina, Canada, France, Great Britain, and Australia. And negotiations are underway to attract more publishers from other countries.
If you own an iPhone or iPad and Google is working hard to improve the availability of iOS devices, now is the time to understand News Showcase so that you can access its features through Google. News.
The company plans to launch new services and "discover" feeds in Google News in the near future.
