Earlier this month at the Google I/O developer conference, Google unveiled a new and improved version of Google News, featuring powerful machine learning for curation. The updated app, which was developed as a replacement for Google Play Newsstand, was expected to start rolling out to both Android and iOS on launch day.
Newscasts is another great new addition to Google News which presents users with a collection of articles, videos, and quotes about trending topics, which seeks to provide more contextual information to the user. With Newscasts, Google aims to give users a fuller idea of the story, before they choose to read it.
The updated Google News app now also provides ‘Full Coverage’ for stories, which gathers information from all angles so that the user gets a better perspective on any given news topic. The Full Coverage section provides a variety of sources which have covered a particular story and also combines opinion pieces, fact checks, analysis, etc. to give users complete insight on any given issue.
