Jason Washing, Google’s Managing Director for Global Partnerships – News, made the announcement in a blog post on Friday. Many new organisations across the globe have been ravaged by declining advertising revenues from companies hit by lockdowns. India's vibrant newspaper industry that reaches tens of millions of readers daily has been forced to slash jobs and salaries. “During times of global crisis, people rely on quality journalism to stay informed and safe. And the ads that appear alongside news coverage help fund the journalists who write breaking news stories, and keep news sites and apps running,” Washing wrote.
