So, in order to not let another dispute, come up and to compensate publishing companies for using their content. As per the deals signed with the companies, the publishers will have to provide Google with a specific number of contents per day, for which they will receive payments accordingly.

The publishers’ contents will be arranged by the staff journalists of the publishers themselves. The arranged panels will then appear in Google’s News and Discover apps.
