Google News has long been one of the most significant technological intermediaries between news producers and news consumers. Qun Wang provides a much-needed in-depth analysis that covers everything from history, to legal issues, to strategy; and takes us from the service’s origins all the way to the current AI age. This is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the continued blurring of the boundary separating media and technology. -- Philip M. Napoli, James R. Shepley Professor of Public Policy and Director, DeWitt Walace Center for Media & Democracy, Duke University This important book takes us from the early days of Google to the new age of Generative AI, documenting how Google's ever-changing approach to news is driven by its quest for institutional power. A valuable read showing how our tech platforms, media, and democracy are intertwined. -- Mor Naaman, Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs and the Don and Mibs Follett professor of information science at Cornell Tech
