Krishna Bharat Says No Immediate Plans to Monetize Google News

Here is a rare interview with Krishna Bharat, Principal Scientist at Google and the creator of Google News. Bharat is a reclusive man – for that matter, Google as a company itself is reclusive. Bharat defends the position of Google News as an aggregator and he says that the idea to monetise the product is still not in the horizon. He says, “We have no immediate plans to monetise Google News. To the extent that it builds goodwill and fills a gap that was there in our coverage of information, we’re very happy.”
