LONDON (AP) — Google will pay publishers $1 billion over the next three years for their content, the company’s latest effort to defuse tensions over its dominance of the news industry.
The company said Thursday that it has signed agreements for its news partnership program with nearly 200 publications in Germany, Brazil, Argentina, Canada, the U.K. and Australia.
“This financial commitment - our biggest to date - will pay publishers to create and curate high-quality content for a different kind of online news experience,” CEO Sundar Pichai said in a blog post.
On Thursday, Google’s News Showcase is launching in Brazil and Germany, featuring story panels that let publishers package stories with features like timelines. It will appear first on Google News on Android, then Apple iOS, before it is rolled out to Google Discover and Search.
The publications that have signed up include Germany’s Der Spiegel and Stern and Brazil’s Folha de S.Paulo.
