The search engine giant Google collates major news portals and presents top news in search. But in doing so, many misleading news portals also appear in searches. To stop this, Google has updated its guidelines, to particularly forbid websites in Google News which misrepresent, misstate, or conceal information or engage in coordinated activity to mislead users.
According to Google’s blog, “Google News may also remove sites participating in other misleading practices not listed in these guidelines. Clearly attributed syndicated content is also acceptable as long as it isn’t a majority of the content on the site.” Google will also allow publishers to file a spam report if they believe another publisher has violated the company’s new inclusion guidelines.
Google said: “We want to ensure that people can understand and see where their news online is coming from and that sites are being transparent about their origins.”
