Google launches its News Showcase program in France
In addition to showing a curated selection of headlines from partner outlets, Google is also making"a limited amount" of their paywalled content available to readers for free. The company is paying them for those paywalled articles as part of their licensing agreement. And since the deal would put the publications' content in front of more people, it could gain them more potential subscribers.
While Google's program partners praised News Showcase for helping them disseminate good and truthful information, the company didn't always have a great relationship with the media in France. In 2020, French regulators forced the tech giantfor showing snippers their articles in search results after the company implemented the EU's new"Copyright Directive" law. Authorities said back then that the company"caused a serious and immediate harm to the press sector.
