Google is having some technical difficulties this morning with its news engine. Google News, the news tab in Google Search, Google Discover, Google Trends and other Google services that use news publications, are currently not returning results for many searchers.
The issue I believe started a couple of hours ago but is now getting worse and happening for more and more Google searchers.
What it looks like. Here are some screenshots of Google News taking down parts of Google Search, the Google News homepage, Google Discover feeds and more.
The last two screenshots are from @BrendanOConnel and @Rakesh0522.
Why we care. This may result in less traffic to news publishers, while Google works to address these issues. Google News, the news tab in Google Search, Google Discover and Google Trends all send a significant amount of traffic to publishers.
If you notice a decline in traffic this morning – this may be why.
