If you've recurrently spotted a little secondary box underneath a Google News transmigration that gives you a big-picture understanding of the news, you're not alone: Google appears to be experimenting with a new "for context" fondness in Google News that links to a second, broader transmigration on the same topic.
Spotted beforehand by Valentin Pletzer on Twitter, the fondness appears to be roused on moldable phones for some actual specific smokeshaft results:

It's small expandable that you numen effortlessly miss what's changed, but it's that "for context" box under the CNET story. Intriguingly, it links to culling CNET story to provide the biggest picture; it's procurable that this fondness isn't designful to divert traffic from some publishers to others, but rather just to provide the biggest picture often a news story. That's conjointly how Facebook's "About This Content" feature often works, which conjointly habitually credibility to related content from the same website. Of course, Google conjointly has "knowledge panels" as well as "featured snippets" outside of its news box to uncontrived people to increasingly translating barely all sorts of topics.
While multiple Verge editors have gotten the new Google fondness to work in multiple time zones, we weren't stalwart to make it pop up for over-and-above potentially controversial news topics like hydroxychloroquine. This CNET example is categorically the rejected one we've self-evident thus far, as well as Google didn't immediately respond to a appeal for obiter barely area as well as how the idea numen roll out. Let us know if you spot more?
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, big tech platforms have intensive their efforts to acquaint readers barely misinformation, with explicit warning labels, "authoritative context" often conspiracy theories, as well as self-same a warning to readers that they numen not want to share older, out-of-date articles.
