YouTube introduces watch page and shorts for news stories
YouTube is launching two new initiatives to increase access to credible news through its platform.
To spread credible news around, YouTube's first initiative is of immersive watch page experience for news stories. The watch page will bring news from the correct sources regarding all the latest news stories. This will help users explore a topic through multiple sources.
The content will be in the form of long-form videos, live coverage, and Shorts.
The second initiative is called the Shorts Innovation Program for News. Through this program, YouTube will be providing financial grants and other support to news organisations that are creating short-form videos on the platform.
