When I click the News tab on Google's results for Paradise Papers I mainly get coverage from British and Australian sources. I have a hard time finding any in the US.
Is this a Google filter (I'm in Europe)? Or related to the affiliations of the investigators? Or a time zone thing?
- patall 9y agoI read nytimes is on the team (but has not published anything yet). Edit: There you go https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/05/world/paradise-papers.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/05/world/paradise-papers.htm...
- dazc 9y agoCould be a time zone thing or recent change where google return results based on your current location? https://www.blog.google/products/search/making-search-results-more-local-and-relevant/ https://www.blog.google/products/search/making-search-result... If you want results from US you can go to the google homepage > settings > search settings > region settings
- smhg 9y agoIt's indeed on 'Current region' and apparently that includes Australia and UK, but not US. Strange. As I'm writing this I've only found a mention on the nytimes homepage (rather small). In Europe it seems to be the main (breaking) news on most sites.
- killjoywashere 9y agoThis bomb dropped Sunday in the US. There's plenty of coverage on the NYTimes front page. They obviously got early access.
- smhg 9y agoIt's still Sunday in Europe too. Compared to being the main (breaking) news on many (most?) major news sites in Europe, I'm genuinely curious why this difference? The main focus seems to be on 'remarkable' (for lack of a better word) ties between prominent people. I can't imagine there's less interest about this in the US? Or is there some fatigue?
