Google will be prioritizing original reports in its search results
Digital Information World | September 16, 2019
According to Google, the platform is taking some new steps to make sure that the original reports get prioritized in search results as compared to others. With this new update, Google will be making the articles with major news cycle get a more prominent place in the search results rather than a short time period until a piece of new story comes and buries it up. Usually, the search results show the latest and comprehensive content of stories but not anymore. Google recently made a few changes to its products globally in order to help highlight the articles identified as original reporting. According to Richard Gingras, VP of News, articles with original reporting may stay in a visible position a lot longer than usual. The prominence of articles for a longer period helps users to view the original reporting along with more recent articles of news as well.
