Google News, Journalism, SustainabilityAbstract
Since 2020, Brazilian newspapers have joined Google Showcase, a new service that pays journalistic companies monthly. This article aims to analyze the relationship between Alphabet-Google and the news media, seeking to understand how the platform discursively positions itself in relation to the journalistic field. To do this, it rescues historical aspects of Google News, surveys public statements from Google and Showcase partners, and an argumentative analysis of the speech (AMOSSY, 2020). The results show that, under the veil of innovation, the service tries to hide the asymmetry of power that exists between platforms and news media.
