Google updates Search and News to limiting the spread of fake news.

Almost a year ago, Google made some notable steps toward limiting the spread of fake news. The company introduced a feature that warns people of unreliable search results. Now, the search giant has added some information literacy tips. It only works in the US for now, though.

So with the latest update to News and Search, Google is trying to educate users on how to fact-check their information, especially if the algorithm has recognized the search topic as evolving and widely discussed. It displays suggestions such as searching the author's name to see if he or she is a legitimate source of information.

The News app will also label Top Stories to promote news sources that are often cited by other publications or if the piece is an interview, an official press release, original content, investigative articles, etc.
