# Story-Focused News Results Google Reorganized Its News Section to Focus on Individual Stories By Daniel Johnson | Published 2019-12-13 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/news-results References: [engadget](https://www.engadget.com/2019/12/11/google-organizes-news-search-by-story/) & [blog.google](https://www.blog.google/products/search/smarter-organization-top-stories-search/) Google made changes to the news results it presents, and the search engine will now filter results by different stories. Showing news results by stories will allow users to quickly sort through different content in a more organized way. Additionally, it means that users could see a story from multiple different perspectives, which will provide greater insight into the topic they are trying to understand. The new feature runs on an AI system that is able to sort news articles into carousels by the topic they cover. The reworked news section is part of a concerted effort by the company to increase the quality of news that people consume. Google's organizational tool for news results will initially be available to mobile devices in the United States. However, Google indicated it will roll out internationally in the upcoming months.
