Local news at its best

@paulbrislen They could at least tell you which biscuits will be served with the tea

As we mark 20 years since Google News launched, I’ve been reflecting on the work our team does with news publishers of all sizes in Asia Pacific. Here are some highlights of this recent work and a look at what's coming up. blog.google/around-the-glo…

So great to have you on board @durgaraghunath!

Well that's my greatest achievement of today done #Heardle #35 🔊🟩⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ heardle.app

@emilyquintin I kinda like the blue ones

This International Women’s Day, I’m pleased to celebrate the amazing women working in news today, both at Google and across the industry in the Asia Pacific. As part of #IWD2022, we’re celebrating the everyday lives of women around the world: google.com/doodles/intern…

@simoncrerar @nichopkins @GoogleNewsInit @sorapark @NewsMediaRC Congratulations @simoncrerar, looking forward to seeing what you learn in this next phase

I also want to thank @kbeddoe and @nichopkins at @GoogleNewsInit, who provided crucial early funding for market research, and @sorapark at Canberra's @NewsMediaRC, who helped conduct the research (which revealed strong demand for alternative local news models). Thanks!! 🙏 4/9

And... exhale! Busy, exciting week for @PSMedia, the collaborative local news startup I've co-founded with @kmahlab, @margaretsimons + @robertgwise. We've revealed our pilot locations and listed jobs for 3x reporters, a copy editor and an operations manager. Go! Go! Go! 🚀 1/9

I missed Aussie Chinese when I lived in SG and had access to something much more authentic but nothing beats lemon chicken and fried ice cream

Grateful to live in a country where this idiot is free to drive across the border to protest they should be...free...to drive across the border

@JamesBlunt we will take up your very kind offer. My only doubt is whether it is fair to our @nzpolice officers but I think they will be able to cope.

Done! Probably less than my family would have spent on books though :(

@MaryNicholls19 I'm blushing

Left my vegetable patch alone for the day and this happens. 😳

@jonkudelka I would watch this

@neilwrites I need closure!

If you were a tiny human who likes to take your father's only set of truck keys — where would you hide them?

That explains a lot right now

@clothingthegaps I used this as an excuse to visit your site. Thank you for labelling "Ally Friendly" will wear with pride

We have had to redecorate our building. We hope you like it. FreedTheFlag 🖤💛❤️✊🏽

Took me a moment...

@paulbrislen Congratulations!

And I'm so glad you did! Share mine with mum every day
