News Showcase is launching in France

Over the past 20 years, we’ve collaborated closely with journalists from around the world to support a sustainable, independent and diverse news industry.

Building on our partnership with French publishers, today we're announcing the launch of Google News Showcase in France, with more than 65 publishers representing more than 130 publications. These include national, regional and local news outlets like 20 minutes, La Dépêche, L’Equipe, L'Express, Le Figaro, La Provence, Le Monde, Groupe EBRA and Le Parisien.

News Showcase gives participating publishers in France more ways to engage with readers, and directs them to full articles on news publications’ websites. This enables publishers to deepen their relationships with readers – and gives them more direct control of presentation and branding. Our French news partners’ News Showcase panels will begin appearing on Google News on Android, iOS and the web, and in Discover on iOS and Android.

"News Showcase will offer additional visibility to news brands and will highlight the quality and richness of the content produced by Le Figaro's editorial teams," says Marc Feuillée, CEO of daily national newspaper Le Figaro.

"Google News Showcase is an opportunity for us, news publishers, to highlight the depth of our content, in an environment tailored for quality news,” says Jean-Nicolas Baylet, General Manager of regional daily newspaper GroupeDépêche du Midi. “It’s also a showcase of our subscriber-only content that we will leverage to get more digital subscribers."

"News Showcase allows us to highlight the quality information produced by our 400 journalists to attract a wider audience and engage them to subscribe to Le Parisien,” says Sophie Gourmelen, CEO of the daily newspaper.

Since its launch in October 2020, we’ve signed News Showcase deals with more than 1,800 news publications and have launched the product in 20 countries, including Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, Portugal, Poland, Slovakia, Ireland and Italy.

As part of our licensing agreements with publishers for News Showcase, we're also paying participating news organizations to give readers access to a limited amount of their paywalled content. This feature means readers can see more articles than they would otherwise be able to, encouraging them to learn more about the publication — and potentially subscribe.

"At L'Express we believe in the essential role of the informed, rational and quality press in distinguishing quality journalism from fake news,” says Diane Lemoine, Deputy Managing Director ofL'Express Group, national weekly newspaper. She adds, “News Showcase is an additional and important channel to contribute to media education and to the dissemination of good information to the public. Moreover, I am convinced that the product will bring new visibility to our content, reaching a more diverse audience, helping to introduce L'Express to new readers and hopefully drive subscriptions."

“We are delighted to continue our collaboration with Google to bring the best sports information to readers; a partnership that takes into account the high value of the content of L'Equipe and which helps us ensure our audience gets the news they're looking for,” says Laurent Prud’homme, Managing Director of the Groupl’Equipe, a daily national newspaper devoted to sports.

Our support for the French news industry

The launch of News Showcase in France is the latest in our efforts to support publishers and journalists. For more than 20 years we’ve worked closely with the news industry, helping to accelerate their digital journey through traffic generation (Search, Google News, Discover), ads and subscription products, and by supporting news innovation and digital training through the Google News Initiative. Through News Showcase, our other News products and programs, we’re proud to promote quality journalism and support a thriving and diverse news industry.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
