How is Google Living Stories different than other news sources?
One of the biggest differences is the interactive and organizational ways that Google Living Stories works. Instead of searching for different articles or changes in the news story as separate pieces, Google Living Stories has everything organized under one place. It tracks changes in the story and records the parts that you have already explored. This way you don't get re-runs of articles plus you get all the articles covered by the one topic in one place with easy ways to find and access them.

Do You Think This Approach to Stories Will Help Reduce Bias in the News?
I'm not really sure what will happen in the future in relation to the bias. I think that it banks completely on the choice of what news groups will be the sources. The fewer of these sources the more likely it will be that bias is going to creep into the stories. The more sources brought in will diminish the amount of bias.

Features That Could Be Added
I think that it might be beneficial to add some sort of search for topics option.

I think that news being available online is something that is going to become a big deal in the near future. I also believe that it will be a very very long time before we are completely rid of the newspaper just because of the fact that it is readily available to a more wide set majority of people.
