The feature itself is nothing big at all, but it will change the point of view of stories and articles that are published through Google News. Have you ever had a thought about a news story about yourself and it wasn't just quite right? Now you can insert a comment reflecting the story onto Google News.

To stop an overhual of comments, only a special subset of readers can make a comment which includes people or organisations that are related to the story.

Here's how it will work

If you are involved in a story, you send your comments in to Google along with statements supporting how you are connected to the story. Google won’t edit your comments but can have them removed for hate speech, etc. And they aren’t yet saying how connected to a story you have to be to get in. Whatever the rules, this is going to require a ton of manual labor on Google’s end.

This cannot simply just be automated. Google is going to have to see a very, very large increase in page views to justify the expense. But I don’t see it working too well, not only are they going to have to read entries that describe how the person is related to the story, but check to ensure they are the real person.

What Google will see often, a news article is written about Bill Clinton and the Lewinsky Affair, John Smith writes into Google describing that he is Bill Clinton and gives his 2 cents (comments) on the story.
