More African countries now have their own edition of Google News
Thursday, August 14, 2008
Posted by Divon Lan, Product Manager
Google News is a truly international project, spanning dozens of countries and over 20 languages. But that still leaves plenty of countries without their own dedicated edition of Google News.
Today, we are delighted to announce that we've made great progress in our quest to give Google News an even more global reach, by adding 9 more countries to our repertoire. If you head down to the bottom of any Google News page, you'll see new English editions in
Botswana
,
Ethiopia
,
Ghana
,
Kenya
,
Namibia
,
Nigeria
,
Tanzania
,
Uganda
and
Zimbabwe
.
With these 9 new editions, Google News now has a significant presence on every one of the world's inhabited continents: 5 editions in North America; 7 editions in South America and the Caribbean; 19 editions in Europe (including Turkey); 11 editions in Asia, the Middle East and Oceania; and now 10 editions in Africa.
