Summary and Popularity of Site
Google shouldn’t need any introduction to anyone who is even remotely familiar to the internet. It is the best known site in the world and has the most visitors of any site on the planet. It is ranked 1 by all sites that monitor traffic*. Their news section is just one of the myriad of options that it gives its viewers.
Content
It gives stories from all over the world, and on the left hand side of the screen, you can click on whatever country’s news interests you. From Argentina to Zimbabwe, every nation is covered. When you click on the UK business section, you are met with all of the top stories of the day running down the page. On the right hand side, you have the market information of every company that has been in the news recently. If business is not for you, there are sections on sport, entertainment and just about any other section of general interest.
Google news is a site for everyone. It is a truly global institution and if you wish to find out how Yemen’s football team fared, Google will find it for you. If you must know the share price of some remote company, they can help you. The top business stories run all the way down the page and give up to date news on the Greek debt crisis as well as information on the falling BP share price and an article about how business leaders have given the British government 90 days to show that it’s serious about fixing the economy.
Positives and Summary
You might think that with all the worldwide information available, that Google wouldn’t be able to make it easily accessible, yet they have achieved ease of use. Using the business section as an example, by scrolling down the page, you will see every headline clearly outlined and basically every business story that matters in the U.K will be on there. This is the same for all sections and all countries, truly an amazing achievement.
The business stories are written in the same way as one would expect from a well-regarded financial newspaper, clear yet informative with no sensationalism, just the facts. Google news is the world’s biggest newspaper and is free to those who have internet access. There is no better way to find out relevant information related to your country than by clicking on Google news.
