**Google News Showcase, a platform that pays publishers for their content, is expanding to include more publishers.** The program, which launched in 2020, has already partnered with over 1,000 publications in dozens of countries. Google says it plans to add hundreds more publishers to the program in the coming months.
The expansion of News Showcase comes at a time when the news industry is facing significant challenges. The rise of social media and the decline of print advertising have led to a decline in revenue for many publishers.
