The Newsstand section is designed to make it
easy to follow the sources you like most and find
new sources to broaden your view. In addition to
traditional news outlets, it features content from
over 1,000 magazines. You can quickly follow
publications with a single tap, and Google has made
it dead simple to subscribe to paid publications.
Just find the publication you want to subscribe to
and tap the Subscribe button. You’re already signed
in with your Google Account so you don’t need to
create new passwords, enter payment information,
or email addresses. You’ll be able to access your
paid content everywhere – in Google News on any

trusted news sources.
