News algorithms aren't very good at highlighting original and local reporting, leading to economic and democratic troubles. Google wants to fix that.
Google is making changes to its algorithm in an attempt to boost original reporting from news sources. The search engine says it will highlight articles that it identifies as"significant original reporting" and keep them in a"highly visible position" for longer, as well as update the guidelines for its more than 10,000 human raters to reward such articles.
