Google’s latest offering, the ‘News Showcase’, has industry sources divided on whether the tech giant can provide a decent share for global news portals. The platform is set to offer curated content from leading news providers, including ‘The Wall Street Journal’ and Bloomberg. While it is unclear whether the UAE and other Middle East markets will be included in this rollout, news portals are offered the chance to feature on the platform and potentially generate a wider readership base. However, there remain concerns over Google’s revenue sharing arrangements with news providers and whether the News Showcase will operate on an invitation-only basis or offer eligibility to all leading news platforms in a country. Despite these concerns, Google maintains that it will remain impartial in its selection of which publishers can appear on the platform.
