The Google News Blog just announced that Google News is now amplified. This means that users can go to Google News on their mobile phones and see AMP content and load that content in an AMPlified mode. As Google said to the public before, “AMP or accelerated mobile pages, allows websites pages to load faster on mobile devices.” Google News was the next obvious step for Google to take with AMP; now users can now get their news faster on their phones.
