In the nearly
30 years since the world wide web launched, more than 2 billion websites have
been created. It can feel impossible to keep up with the hundreds of thousands
of tweets, tens of thousands of pages, and hundreds of hours of video that come
online every single minute.
Amid this
deluge of information, important new voices are constantly emerging. There’s
more diverse content to discover and more great journalism being produced than
ever before. In order to make it easier to keep up and make sense of it all, we
set out to bring our news products into one unified experience.
Today we’re
rolling out an all new Google News, which uses the best of artificial intelligence
to find the best of human intelligence—the great reporting done by journalists
around the globe.
Using
real-time AI/ML to organize the news
When we
created the original Google News 15 years ago, we simply organized news
articles to make it easier to see a range of sources on the same topic.
The
reimagined Google News uses a new set of AI techniques to take a constant flow
of information as it hits the web, analyze it in real time and organize it into
storylines. This approach means Google News understands the people, places and
things involved in a story as it evolves, and connects how they relate to one
another. At its core, this technology lets us synthesize information and put it
together in a way that helps you make sense of what’s happening, and what the
impact or reaction has been.
A news
experience that keeps you fully informed
For many of
us, news comes from dozens of different places—sports from a favorite website,
politics from TV, and news about your community from your local paper.
When you’re
in the app, “For You” makes it easy to stay up to date on everything you care
about all in one place. We start with a briefing of five stories that Google
News has organized for you—a mix of the most important headlines, local news
and the latest developments on the topics you’re interested in.
