Google News is now available in Spain. Yes, Google News is back online eight years after the company shut down the service due to copyright law. Now, and with successive regulatory changes that allow the media to choose, the search engine has reactivated its news portal, which can now be used normally.
In fact, Google has taken advantage of the fact that it’s only today that News turns 20 years old to announce the return of the news service, which is one of the top links in online current content aggregators.
For many users, its closure eight years ago was a big setback, and while there have been many alternatives to Google News since then, the truth is that direct access to the service through a search engine has been second to none.
The return of Google News, moreover, includes a new design, much more refined and clean, and very customization oriented for the user himself through media monitoring tools.

In addition, Google stresses that News helps readers find news from trusted sources, from the world’s largest news websites to smaller, local and specialist publications. This means that you will not only find great media, but also very specialized content that is of interest to the user.
In short, Google News is an aggregator that lets you greatly personalize the news experiencebut will always take you to the original content site: News redirects readers to publisher websites when they click on links, helping drive traffic to your content.
What’s not yet available is the Google News Showcase, a special licensed product service, that is, access to premium content for which Google pays publishers to create specially crafted content designed for the Google News and Discover news panels. Google confirms that it will continue to work with publishers to start adding content.
Be that as it may, Google News is already available in Spain, either through its dedicated website or through the iOS and Android apps, which are again available in Spanish stores.
