- achow 11y agoFor those who are interested in knowing about the working behind this Life Pro Tip - It works because of Google's 'First click free' arrangement with the newspapers. First click free: We've worked with subscription-based news services to arrange that the very first article seen by a Google News user (identifiable by referrer) doesn't require a subscription. Although this first article can be seen without subscribing, any further clicks on the article page will prompt the user to log-in or subscribe to the news site. https://support.google.com/news/publisher/answer/40543 https://support.google.com/news/publisher/answer/40543
