Google News redesigned to emphasize personalized content

Google News has been redesigned to emphasise local news and personalised content.

Users can now easily customise the topics that are displayed to them by clicking the blue “customise” button in the right hand column.

Several news categories have been moved from the left side of the screen to a menu bar at the top. Google also claims to have expanded its “Fact Check” section, emphasizing debunking of viral claims.

The most noticeable change is that various categories of news, such as world, business, science, and health, have been moved from the left side of the screen to a menu bar at the top.
