Google News Updates How You Experience the Drilled Down News

News ==> The format of the Google News has changed, on the level of the additional articles.

Last Thursday we launched a new format for story pages on Google News. These are the pages you see when you click the “all [#] news articles” link of each cluster of articles which cover the same news event–or “story,” as we say on the Google News team.

(If you still don’t get what they’re referring to, click the link to take a look at the screenshot.)

Why It’s Relevant ==> Context. Google News is adding more context to the news – that timeline feature seems like it would be particularly useful. Imagine getting breaking news in Twitter that there’s an earthquake somewhere. You turn to Google News for some verified or official updates about where it was, how many injuries, what to do to volunteer or where to send donations.

With that timeline you could instantly see who has the freshest news – and if corrections need to be made on the fly, as often happens, the most up-to-date source probably has the best information. In the time it took you to read that, you could be taking action already.
