Google is now using machine learning to group top media stories in Google Search and has implemented carousels to improve search relevance and make news easy to access. Searchers now see a carousel of articles at the top of the search results highlighting relevant news. Within each story, the new structure includes high-quality content–beyond just the most recent coverage–as well as more diverse sources, to bring improved context and perspective to the day’s news.

Last week, Facebook announced that they are going to update its News Feed to display more “high quality content” that is relevant for the users.

Think about, “Would my audience want to see this in their News Feeds?”.

When the pandemic began — and even before that when people ran amok and didn’t know what to do — I actively consumed the news. No more news channels. For several days, without consuming any news and after unfollowing anyone on Facebook or Twitter who shared the news, I introduced new behaviors into my life. In time, and on my own terms, I gradually reintroduced the news. By consuming the news on my schedule I am aware of what matters.
