NEWSWATCH: Google has begun hosting content on its own site from The Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, The Press Association in the UK and The Canadian Press, reports IOL Technology, instead of redirecting readers to other sites. “Under its new approach, Google reasons readers won't have to pore through search results listing the same story posted on different sites. That should in turn make it easier to discover other news stories at other websites that might previously have been buried, said Josh Cohen, the business product manager for Google News.”
