H<\/span>ere is Josh Cohen<\/span>\u2019s announcement<\/a> about Google News<\/span>:
<\/p>\n

Today we\u2019re launching a new feature on Google News that will help you quickly and easily find original stories from news publishers – including stories from some of the top news agencies in the world, such as the Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, UK Press Association and the Canadian Press – and go directly to the original source to read more.<\/p>\n

Our goal has always been to offer users as many different perspectives on a story from as many different sources as possible, which is why we include thousands of sources from around the world in Google News. However, if many of those stories are actually the exact same article, it can end up burying those different perspectives. Enter \u201cduplicate detection.\u201d Duplicate detection means we\u2019ll be able to display a better variety of sources with less duplication. Instead of 20 \u201cdifferent\u201d articles (which actually used the exact same content), we’ll show the definitive original copy and give credit to the original journalist. (We launched a similar feature in Sort-by-Date and got great feedback about it.) Of course, if you want to see all the duplicates on other publisher websites with additional analysis and context, they\u2019re only a click away.<\/p>\n

By removing duplicate articles from our results, we\u2019ll be able to surface even more stories and viewpoints from journalists and publishers from around the world. This change will provide more room on Google News for publishers’ most highly valued content: original content. Previously, some of this content could be harder to find on Google News, and as a result of this change, you’ll have easier access to more of this content, and publishers will likely receive more traffic to their original content.<\/p>\n

Because the Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, UK Press Association and the Canadian Press don’t have a consumer website where they publish their content, they have not been able to benefit from the traffic that Google News drives to other publishers. As a result, we\u2019re hosting it on Google News.<\/p>\n

Duplicate detection isn’t just for our news agency partners – it also enables you to find the original copy of articles from publishers and news agencies that have their own destination site. For these publishers, we\u2019ll continue to show just a snippet of the story and a link, so you can read the full story on their site.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Interesting. These agencies don\u2019t have consumer sites, eh? AP<\/span> content seems to prop up Yahoo! News<\/a>. And they are agencies, their whole business proposition is making money from selling on to people who then edit\/re-write\/sell on their stuff. So another change in the rules of the game.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
