This second cohort follows the inaugural JournalismAI Innovation Challenge, supported by the Google News Initiative which awarded 35 publishers from 22 countries grants. By translating existing data into practical insights, the framework will support future outreach strategies – including personalised newsletters – and contribute to a more sustainable financial model for non-profit independent journalism. Tempo, one of Indonesia’s most established independent news organisations, will create an intelligent platform that centralises five decades of archival content into a single Digital Asset Management system. The project includes a Slack-based companion that helps staff record impact in real time, while AI organises and analyses this information to reveal patterns in how coverage serves readers and communities. The Philippine digital news organisation Rappler is building Intelligent Reader Assistant that uses AI-driven recirculation to serve readers at every stage of engagement. Public Policy, an Italian news agency specialising in political and parliamentary reporting, is building Postilla AI, a platform that combines its live coverage of Italian and European institutions with official parliamentary documents and open political databases.
Evogene Announces a Warrant Inducement Transaction for Approximately $3.4 Million of Gross Proceeds
Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital announced this week that it is planning to open a new pediatric hospital in the west Chicago suburb of Downers Grove. A lawsuit filed late last month took Chicago-based McDonald’s to task over the McRib sandwich, calling its name a form of false advertising. A controversial data center in Naperville, Illinois, could be the cause to pack a city council meeting there on Tuesday night.
Google News
Google announced that it would instead focus on “Google One Pass, a platform that enables publishers to sell content and subscriptions directly from their own sites”. These pages indicated that the search covered “Any time”, but did not include the archive and only included recent news. In early 2010, Google removed direct access to the archive search from the main Google News page, advanced news search page and default search results pages.
Business News
The project aims to identify potential recurring supporters, map how reader trust develops over time, and examine connections between journalism and giving. The Reporter, a Taiwanese non-profit news organisation focused on in-depth investigative journalism, is developing an AI-driven framework that links reader engagement with donor behavior. A conversational tool called Tempo Assistant will help users explore decades of journalism and surface actionable insights for business and political decision-making. Using AI to automate discovery, enrichment, and content reuse, the platform aims to reduce operational costs while opening new revenue streams through asset licensing.
- In October 2014, a group of German publishers granted Google a license to use snippets of their publications gratis; the group had first claimed that such snippets were illegal, and then complained when they were removed by Google.
- We received a significant number of applications from around the world, 372 to be exact, and the finalists were selected by an independent panel of four experts in the field together with the JournalismAI team.
- He says Google should be using the headline that humans wrote, and if Google needs a summary, it can use the ones that publications already submit to help search engines parse our work.
- Officer Josh Thompson of the 7th division, who was on the case, said the search led them to a house, and at that house, he was approached by a dog who took him to the missing child.
I am Insights from the Blacknight blog a co-founder of NewsCatcherAPI – Ultra-fast API to find news articles by any topic, country, language, website, or keyword Google XML reference for the search query Most of the core ones have been inherited by Google News service. The main (en, US) Google News client will most likely find the feed about the most places.
However, you can find some other topics that are also supported by Google News. On the bottom left side of the Google News page you may find a Language & region section where you can find all of the supported combinations. Google News used to have an API but it was deprecated many years ago. I heavily rely on Feedparser package to parse the RSS feed. Every time you call any function there is an HTTPS request to Google’s servers. This work is more of a collection of all things I could find out about how Google News functions.
Some outlets do tech better, others excel at world news, politics, or entertainment. I’ve always stayed clear of them because I don’t want to rely on a single channel for my daily news. Ironically, that exercise only made my respect for Google News grow. That familiarity eventually became a turn-off, pushing me to look for alternatives and try out a bunch of similar apps on the Play Store. Google News hasn’t undergone any significant transformation in several years.
