Google invests $1 billion Into Google (fake) News Showcase

Google is investing $1 billion to create partnerships and the
future of news. Google is going to pay publishers to create news.
What could go wrong?

Google Showcase is kind of like Google Reader with material
design. It gives a tremendous AMP-like experience for readers.
This new feature is available on Android, and it will roll out to
other Google News apps, Google Discover, and even Search
shortly.

New features will allow publishers to integrate timelines,
bullets, and inner-linking with related articles. This will be a
text-only update, and support for audio and video is coming
later. The update features more editor governance and less A.I.
generation, as is the current form of Google News.

This is rolling out now in Brasil and Germany. Other countries
will follow as 200 publishers have already signed up for the
program. This is an evolution of previous licensing agreements in
place with news organizations. This is the first leg of a 3-year
pilot program.
