December 8 (SeeNews) - US technology giant Google has launched its News Showcase service in Slovenia to support local media, it said on Thursday.
News Showcase will give participating publishers in Slovenia more ways to engage with readers by giving them a way to curate their news through different panels that appear on Google News and Discover and direct readers to the full articles, Google said in a blog post.
The programme also provides news organisations with the ability to give readers daily snapshots of what they think is important, provide more context into important news stories, and add related articles, Google said.
Google has agreements with six national, regional and local news organisations from Slovenia, namely Delo, Casnik Finance, Siol.net, Slovenske novice, news agency STA and Styria Media, the technology giant added.
