Building on our partnership with French publishers, today we're announcing the launch of Google News Showcase in France, with more than 65 publishers representing more than 130 publications. These include national, regional and local news outlets like 20 minutes, La Dépêche, L’Equipe, L'Express, Le Figaro, La Provence, Le Monde, Groupe EBRA and Le Parisien.
News Showcase gives participating publishers in France more ways to engage with readers, and directs them to full articles on news publications’ websites. This enables publishers to deepen their relationships with readers – and gives them more direct control of presentation and branding. Our French news partners’ News Showcase panels will begin appearing on Google News on Android, iOS and the web, and in Discover on iOS and Android.

"News Showcase will offer additional visibility to news brands and will highlight the quality and richness of the content produced by Le Figaro's editorial teams," says Marc Feuillée, CEO of daily national newspaper Le Figaro.
"Google News Showcase is an opportunity for us, news publishers, to highlight the depth of our content, in an environment tailored for quality news,” says Jean-Nicolas Baylet, General Manager of regional daily newspaper GroupeDépêche du Midi. “It’s also a showcase of our subscriber-only content that we will leverage to get more digital subscribers."

"News Showcase allows us to highlight the quality information produced by our 400 journalists to attract a wider audience and engage them to subscribe to Le Parisien,” says Sophie Gourmelen, CEO of the daily newspaper.
Since its launch in October 2020, we’ve signed News Showcase deals with more than 1,800 news publications and have launched the product in 20 countries, including Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, Portugal, Poland, Slovakia, Ireland and Italy.

As part of our licensing agreements with publishers for News Showcase, we're also paying participating news organizations to give readers access to a limited amount of their paywalled content. This feature means readers can see more articles than they would otherwise be able to, encouraging them to learn more about the publication — and potentially subscribe.
"At L'Express we believe in the essential role of the informed, rational and quality press in distinguishing quality journalism from fake news,” says Diane Lemoine, Deputy Managing Director ofL'Express Group, national weekly newspaper. She adds, “News Showcase is an additional and important channel to contribute to media education and to the dissemination of good information to the public. Moreover, I am convinced that the product will bring new visibility to our content, reaching a more diverse audience, helping to introduce L'Express to new readers and hopefully drive subscriptions."
“We are delighted to continue our collaboration with Google to bring the best sports information to readers; a partnership that takes into account the high value of the content of L'Equipe and which helps us ensure our audience gets the news they're looking for,” says Laurent Prud’homme, Managing Director of the Groupl’Equipe, a daily national newspaper devoted to sports.
The launch of News Showcase in France is the latest in our efforts to support publishers and journalists. For more than 20 years we’ve worked closely with the news industry, helping to accelerate their digital journey through traffic generation (Search, Google News, Discover), ads and subscription products, and by supporting news innovation and digital training through the Google News Initiative. Through News Showcase, our other News products and programs, we’re proud to promote quality journalism and support a thriving and diverse news industry.

One of the ways Google Search helps you make sense of the world is by connecting you with the widest range of perspectives, from everyday people to authoritative reporting. Today we’re announcing two new features that will help bring you even more viewpoints, so you can have additional context and choices when you search.
Forums can be a useful place to find first-hand advice, and to learn from people who have experience with something you’re interested in. We’ve heard from you that you want to see more of this content in Search, so we’ve been exploring new ways to make it easier to find. Starting today, a new feature will appear when you search for something that might benefit from the diverse personal experiences found in online discussions.
The new feature, labeled “Discussions and forums,” will include helpful content from a variety of popular forums and online discussions across the web. For example, if you search for the best cars for a growing family, in addition to other web results, you’ll now see links to forum posts that include relevant advice from people, like their experience with minivans for transporting multiple children.
Today it will be rolling out for English users on mobile in the U.S. As with all Search features, we’ll continue to learn about whether people are finding this new feature valuable over time, and may update it in the future as we learn what’s most useful for people.
An example of the Discussion and forums feature
We’re also announcing a new way we’re helping to avoid language barriers when it comes to getting local perspectives on international news stories. Today when you search, you see results in your preferred language. In early 2023, we’ll launch a new feature that will give people a simple way to find translated news coverage using machine translation.
Say you wanted to learn about how people in Mexico were impacted by the more than 7 magnitude earthquake earlier this month. With this feature, you’ll be able to search and see translated headlines for news results from publishers in Mexico, in addition to ones written in your preferred language. You’ll be able to read authoritative reporting from journalists in the country, giving you a unique perspective of what’s happening there.
An example of how the news translation feature could work for showing translated headlines from publishers in Mexico.
This feature connects readers looking for international news to relevant local reporting in other languages, giving them access to more complete on-the-ground coverage and making new global perspectives available.
Building off our earlier translation work, we’ll be launching this feature to translate news results in French, German and Spanish into English on mobile and desktop.
Our goal is to help you find the most relevant information from across the web. These two new features will bring more perspectives to your search, helping you make informed choices and learn more about what’s going on around the world.
