Google News <3

Alister & Paine Magazine is an official news source for Google News, the worlds’ premier news aggregator.

So, you might be wondering what it means to be a Google News Source.

Every publication interested in becoming a Google News Source must first go through a vetting period and be evaluated for having multiple knowledge sources, authors, opinions and actual original content.

As Google puts it “Google News is a computer-generated news site that aggregates headlines from news sources worldwide, groups similar stories together and displays them according to each reader’s personalized interests.

Traditionally, news readers first pick a publication and then look for headlines that interest them. We do things a little differently, with the goal of offering our readers more personalized options and a wider variety of perspectives from which to choose. On Google News we offer links to several articles on every story, so you can first decide what subject interests you and then select which publishers’ accounts of each story you’d like to read. Click on the headline that interests you and you’ll go directly to the site which published that story.

Our articles are selected and ranked by computers that evaluate, among other things, how often and on what sites a story appears online. We also rank based on certain characteristics of news content such as freshness, location, relevance and diversity. As a result, stories are sorted without regard to political viewpoint or ideology and you can choose from a wide variety of perspectives on any given story.”

So, there you have it.
