Google News to Host Wire Service Stories

This could be good news if you're trying to get a press release or other news hosted from your site.

Read this news release.

I think the "duplicate detection" could also be of interest to us.

The new feature unveiled Friday is called "duplicate detection," which lets Google News identify the original source of a story that may appear in tens or hundreds of news outlet Web sites. If the source story is from one of the four news service agencies that Google has licensing agreements with, Google will display the story on a page that it hosts.

But the feature will benefit all types of news outlets, not just wire services. For example, if a New York Times story gets syndicated, Google News will know that it originally came from this newspaper.

For such outlets that have their own public Web sites, "duplicate detection" will simply let users click over to their sites, which is the traditional Google News model.

I don't get it, how is this different than the current Google News? If I do a search for a current news story, Google will usually put the story from the major news source as the top results and then show the different news agencies syndicating that content below it (but still within that same first result "box")
