Hello all,
So Youtube has finally decided to keep up with Twitter and has begun to roll-out a new section on your Youtube home page which will include "Breaking news" a feed of videos that will be up to date with the latest news going on in the world!
Youtube would not be the first place that you go for updates on all the current events mainly because it was never shown to you unless you had a direct link to the source video, but then you have to go through the hassle of some extra mouse clicks to get to where you need to be. But in most cases, Youtube would show you the videos in question long after the events happened.
But alas Youtube has finally implemented a "Breaking news" section, for now, it is unclear how the actual algorithm works and how videos are decided and where they are placed in the list of videos. Breaking news will be the go to place for current events and latest news!
At the time of this picture, the breaking news section was largely focused on reports of Steve Bannon leaving his position at the White House, but resources noted that it had been filled with videos regarding the Barcelona terror attack earlier in the day.
So what do you guys think? Do you welcome the edition of "Breaking news" or are you happy with "Twitter moments" or any other source that you can tell us about below!
All the best!
Jord.
