Google News is a news aggregator service developed by Google. It presents a continuous flow of links to articles organized from thousands of publishers and magazines. Google News is available as an app on Android, iOS, and the Web.
Google released a beta version in September 2002 and the official app in January 2006.[2] The initial idea was developed by Krishna Bharat.[3][4]
The service has been described as the world's largest news aggregator.[5] In 2020, Google announced they would be spending US$1 billion to work with publishers to create Showcases, "a new format for insightful feature stories".[6]
