To celebrate the 20th anniversary, there is a new desktop version with a fresher look and larger images. Other innovations have also been announced.
New desktop version
Starting today, Wednesday, Google is introducing a new design for Google News on desktop. There is a new selection, the layout has become clearer and – if you like it – there are more recommendations. At first glance, it certainly looks a lot tidier. For example, the area Local News Moved to the top of the page to make it easier to find. There is now a filter button to add multiple locations to the local news area.
