Google storing more stories fit for print

SAN FRANCISCO: Google is trying to expand the newspaper section of its online library to include billions of articles published during the past 244 years, hoping the added attraction will lure even more traffic to its leading Internet search engine.

The newly announced project extends Google’s crusade to make digital copies of content created before the Internet’s advent, so the information can become more accessible and, ultimately, Google can make more money from advertisements shown on its website.

Google will foot the bill to copy the archives of any newspaper publisher willing to permit the stories to be shown for free on Google’s website. The participating publishers will receive an unspecified portion of the revenue generated from the ads displayed next to the stories.

On the net, the service is at http://news.google.com/archivesearch — AP
