Google is showering more attention on YouTube as part of its effort to fight fake news. The streaming video behemoth has unveiled updates to its service and partnerships to not only boost access to credible news reports, but shoot down dubious claims. In the US, YouTube will soon show relevant articles next to developing news stories and highlight more local news stories. On an international level, it now links to fact-checking articles when searching for videos on a "small number" of subjects prone to bogus claims (like the Moon landing). People in 17 countries (including the US and UK) also have access to Breaking News and Top News features that surface relevant stories on your home page.
