https://news.google.com/ is a free, AI-powered news aggregation platform developed by Google. Launched to centralize credible news from thousands of global sources—including major outlets (BBC, CNN, AP) and local publications—it delivers real-time, unbiased updates across topics, making it a go-to for users seeking a one-stop view of global and niche news. Unlike traditional media sites, it curates content without editorial bias, focusing on breadth, timeliness, and personalization.
Its core strength lies in AI-driven curation + user control, with standout tools:

- Topic & Category Browsing: Pre-organized sections (World, Tech, Sports, Business, Health) let users filter news by interest; “Local News” highlights stories relevant to their location.
- Fact-Check & Credibility: A “Fact Check” label flags verified content to counter misinformation, linking to independent fact-checking organizations.
- Offline Access & Saving: Save articles to read later without internet; the platform syncs saved content across devices (web, iOS/Android app).
