Google's "In The News" box now pulls news from various sources, including blogs
Oct 07, 2014
Google has confirmed that new “In The News” box appearing in some of its search results now lists content from more than just the traditional news sites. Discussions at Reddit, blog posts, videos and more from non-news sites may turn up.
A Google spokesperson has told Search Engine Land that it’s not just Reddit that’s being included. Virtually any content might show up in the box, if it’s deemed newsworthy.
"We will be pulling from all over the web which means that we will present as diverse a range of voices as possible to ensure we get users to the answer they are looking for.
We are always working to give our users the best possible answer to their question. That might come in the form of a video, a press release, a blog, a photo, a social media post or a news article."
