[GUI-Talk] More about the New Google News Layout

So here is more information about the new Google News layout. Google changed
the layout of the tab when you search for something and press Enter on
"News." On July 13, Google changed the layout so instead of each article
being a heading, each story is now in a card-like format. Apparently, each
publisher has a visual icon on the card that shows up. The new layout
changes the way JAWS interprets the news page so it now reads the article
title as non-link text and the publisher's name as the visited link. This
layout makes it so 1, you have to scroll a lot more and 2, JAWS can't
correctly tell you what link you visited. I sent Google feedback about this
twice through Google Chrome. I really hope Google changes their layout back.
For those of you who use Google News, have you seen the new layout, and what
is your opinion of it?
