Search Engine Journal

Google News has added a new degree of online news search aggregation & navigation with its new Google News Image Version.

Users can sift through Google News stories by mousing over the images taken from each article.

Adding a new respect for photo journalism in the news search arena, Google News is also using Ajax technology to scroll through each news story.

Do people search news via images? People obviously purchase newspapers at news stands based upon the photos printed on the front page of the New York Post or Baltimore Sun. USAToday articles are chocked full of charts, graphs and photos. So, yes, there may be some interest in the online news search community for such an option.
