Google News is a useful source for tracking breaking stories, companies, competitors, industries, and trending topics. With RSS.app, you can create a Google News RSS feed and display it in a visual format with images, article titles, source names, and metadata.
Why use images in a Google News RSS feed?
Images make Google News feeds easier to scan and more engaging to display.
A Google News RSS feed with images can be used to:
Add news articles to a website
Create a visual news widget
Build an internal media monitoring dashboard
Display industry news on digital signage
Send richer updates to your team
Improve the look of newsletters and email digests
Make Google News articles easier to review
