Google News Showcase Launches in Australia

Starting today, a growing number of Australian publishers including The Canberra Times, The Illawarra Mercury, The Saturday Paper, Crikey, The New Daily,  InDaily and The Conversation, will be paid to provide content for News Showcase. They are planning to add more publishes in the future.

Participating News Showcase publishers receive a set monthly fee for curating their articles for News Showcase, and in some cases for providing access to articles behind their paywall so that readers can see the value of becoming subscribers and publishers can build a relationship with readers.
