Hey, that is contrary to our entire newsroom's ethics and policies. It's called a native, uh, something-or-another, and we promise that we stand behind our journalistic integrity.
On an unrelated note, we thank our sponsors and benefactors for bringing us drafts and notes we occasionally might use to augment our impeccable news coverage.
Absolute trash. For most searches these days alternative search engines are proving much more effective to me. Can I just get a simple list of results please??
> Web Stories are a web-based version of the popular “Stories” format that blend video, audio, images, animation and text to create a dynamic, less formal consumption experience that goes beyond a simple play button. This visual format lets you explore content at your own pace by tapping through it, or swiping from one piece of content to the next.
It looks like a format to let Google put small web pages with mixed media into search carousels.
