Google News' English help says recipients of a shared paid story may still need to pay for access. Describe discovery separately from the publisher's entitlement.

Google News' English help distinguishes language-and-region-based sections from sections personalized using settings and past activity. Qualify the demonstrated discovery experience. A sample feed should not imply that every user sees the same subjects or ordering, or that it is a fixed publisher catalog.

Google News' English help says algorithms determine displayed stories and their order. Avoid presenting a discovery-service campaign as a guarantee that a particular publisher story will rank or appear for everyone.
