From the Press Gazette, the UK's trade paper for journalists: Google's principal scientist Krishna Bharat describes how users are finding a broader slice of viewpoints through Google News:
Bharat is gratified that Google's statistics show users reading multiple news stories about individual topics. "It would concern you if a citizen were reading news consistently from one point of view because they probably wouldn't understand all the arguments. The very fact that people are reading leftwing sites and right-wing sites and centrist sites and getting a balanced viewpoint tells me that they are getting essentially educated in the process."
