I disagree about news.google.com being a 'newspaper frontpage'. If I wanted newspapers I'd individually visit each 'paper' online. What I value is a broad summary of the different news topics that exist at any given moment and links to more details. Through that generalized (and if I provide keywords, more specific) lens on the world Google's News offering provides value not found in any single publisher's biased view of the world.
- morelisp 6y agoIf this was the intended use case Google would present it as a tool to enter a news article and it would show you all articles it believed were equivalent coverage. (i.e. what is now hidden behind "View Full Coverage" and without judgement about "Top Coverage" etc.) Instead it is structured almost exactly like a newspaper front page, right down to the damn weather report.
