Also, for Google News Showcase and Reader Revenue Manager, publishers will continue to submit logos through Publisher Center.
What is changing. Here is what is changing:
Custom sections that were previously created in Google Publisher Center will no longer appear on publisher Google News landing pages.
Publishers will no longer be able to use Google Publisher Center to customer their logos and publication titles.
Google News will use a site’s favicon for the publisher logo instead.
Google News will use the site names for publication titles instead.
Why we care. Google Publisher Center, which was once a really great place for news publishers to control and maintain their publications in Google News, is becoming less and less value to news publishers.
Google wants to automate the process and claims, “This change improves our existing publisher workflow and simplifies our current product experience.” However, I know that news publishers continue to miss the old method for Google News and Publisher Center.
