Is this better? Click to enlarge.

Google yesterday announced the redesign of its UK and Indian editions of Google News, in a effort to unify the experience across its various editions. It claims that these editions offer a richer visual navigation, similar to its US Edition, in order to make the website more browsable. It also allows you to discover trending and popular news with ease, and provides more options to improve the news and sharing experience.

Google News Preferences

The “Personalize” button present at the top right of your screen allows you to add any specific news topic like Astronomy, Cricket, and Parliament (see image right). It also enables you to adjust the frequency of existing topics like business, sports, health, and entertainment or sources like the Times of India, IBNLive.com, or even Penn Olson.

So if you want to see more of our stories, you can add us as a news source in the box provided, if you haven’t already, and increase the frequency by using the ‘+’ symbol next to our name.

Google also noted that it is currently working on rolling out more features like Editors’s Picks and “Standout” content tag, to help publishers highlight their best content on Google News homepage.

Check out the video demo below to get an idea of all the new changes in Google News — India Edition:
