Google combines this with a new duplicate detection, which, as Google argues, brings you more diversity in News results because you get less copies of licensed news content (as you may know, stories from news agencies like Reuters usually appear as copies or near-copies in hundreds of newspapers). To those sources part of Google News which don’t hand out straight copies of content by AP, Reuters and others, this might bring a bonus in traffic, because they may start being more visible in story clusters.

Right now, Google’s hosted articles – like the one titled “Poll: US Shares Blame for China Products” – are remarkably clutter free and accessible (except for outside search bots, which Google disallows to crawl this content via their robots.txt directive). If they stay this way, and the URLs are stable, it might become a preferred way for many of us to link to news agency content.
