US search engine giant Google has changed its global search algorithm to highlight original reporting and keep these stories at the top of the news cluster for a longer period.
“In today’s fast-paced world of news, the original reporting on a subject doesn’t always stay in the spotlight for long,” Richard Gingras, Google”s vice president of News, wrote in a blog post on Thursday.
The company is also introducing new guidelines for its raters, over 10,000 people that review the search engine.
