Quality, not quantity, will dictate new Google news

Google has filed patents for a new system of compiling the day’s news, reports New Scientist. Currently the search-engine giant selects news stories based solely on their date and relevance to search terms. Under the new system, Google will keep tabs on the track record and credibility of all news sources around the globe, including the number of stories filed by each source, their average story lengths and even how long they have been in business. Thus, reputable sources such as CNN or the BBC will normally be included on the first page of results, even if they have not posted the newest story on a topic.
