So who is making money on news then? A quick google search for "trump has coronavirus" shows some news articles and no advertisements whatsoever. Going to the news tab shows more articles and still no advertisements and I cannot recall ever seeing an ad when searching for news so it doesn't look like google is making money from their search engine on news to me.

Google search didn't start out with ads either. It's part of why we moved from Altavista et al to Google.. Google News is still in hot waters with various governments. It's too early to start monitizing it.

  Google News has been around since 2002 and I don't think it has ever shown ads.
