Why would I need to buy the News & Star, or even go into the shop, now I know what's happening? It's quite easy for a publication to not appear in the following section of google's site https://i.imgur.com/RoFQrN1.png https://i.imgur.com/RoFQrN1.png Either a simple robots.txt (a sign telling school kids they aren't allowed), or a username/password (members only), or even close the shop completely. The newspapers have headlines and the start of stories on display in shops, trying to attract passers by to their wears. You can even read the first few sentences of the cabinet meltdown in the telegraph, far more than you can on google, all without paying the newspaper owner, or indeed the shopkeeper, a penny. https://c8.alamy.com/comp/BBYXHY/english-newspapers-on-a-shelf-for-sale-in-a-uk-newsagents-shop-store-BBYXHY.jpg https://c8.alamy.com/comp/BBYXHY/english-newspapers-on-a-she... The headlines are put out there for everyone to see to entice people to come in and spend money. If the shop or newspaper proprietor doesn't want people reading the headlines without buying, they can not put them on display (robots.txt), or cover them up, like on these (ex) publications https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/B4B6/production/_86726264_pa_lads.jpg https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/B4B6/production/... What they can't do is charge people for looking at the headlines on the advertising board they put out in front of their shop.
