We want users to have fast and convenient access to all information on the web, including materials from various media. Now all owners of mobile devices based on Android and iOS can download the Russian-language version of Google Media application (Google Currents) and get free access to online publications, including Russian ones! And for publishers, we have developed a special Google Producer platform that allows you to upload your own texts, videos, images and more to the application.

In Google Media, you can also add RSS, video and photo feeds, open posts from Google+, as well as your subscriptions from Google Reader. In addition, you will have the opportunity to view not only the content of selected publications, but also popular materials from other media.
As soon as you select the desired publication in the Google Media application, the most recent content begins to be automatically uploaded to your mobile device. In this update takes up a minimum of memory and does not give a large load on the battery. Even if you find yourself without Internet access (for example, on a plane), you can still view the latest content - you can even read pre-downloaded texts and watch pictures in Google Media!
Google Media gives you access to publisher content from around the world. If you see a globe icon on the menu, it means that the publisher has integrated Google Translate into their content. Just click on this icon, and the article will be translated into one of 38 languages, including Russian.
Google Media Publishers
Publishers can independently and free download and process content in Google Media using the special Google Producer platform. It does not matter whether the materials are from a small regional news agency, a public organization website or a leading TV holding.
Publishers determine whether to make content accessible to an international audience and whether to translate it automatically into other languages. Many publications are actively using these features of Google Producer . Among them: Forbes, The Guardian, LaStampa and many others.
In addition, publishers can link their account to the analytics tool Google Analytics. So they can better understand what content is the most popular, from which devices users read articles, in which country readers are and a lot of other data.
“We want our users to be happy, and Google Media for us is one of the ways this desire to fulfill. We prepared 7 editions for Google Media (Cosmopolitan, Cosmopolitan Shopping, Men's Health, National Geographic, Grazia, Domashny Ochag and Popular Mechanics) and are very proud that three of them are pre-installed on the Russian launch. Media is a mobile library of your favorite sites, and we are confident that it will be popular among our users, who, as we see, show great interest in various kinds of gadgets, ”says Alexandra Sorokovikova, publisher of online projects Sanoma Independent Media.
We hope that Google Media will appeal to both users and publishers. Test this app and tell us about your impressions! We wish you interesting and good news!
