Displays related headlines and photos, so users may quickly compare how different news organizations are reporting the same story. A unique feature is the use of an automated grouping system based on computer algorithms which match stories with search terms without human intervention. When a headline is displayed, a link to that news story is displayed along with a link to other reports on the subject. The site also offers preset categories such as sports, business, scitech, entertainment and health, as well as a search function across the full Google news site. Results may be re-sorted by date in order to follow the development of a story. Google News is an excellent reference tool for studying how the news is reported around the world."–"Best Free Reference Web Sites 2001," RUSA Quarterly, Fall 2003; reviewed March 6, 2003
