Google News website receives tablet UI facelift

Starting today, Google will be improving the Google News webpage reading experience on 7- and 10-inch tablets. Rolling out over the next few days, the new interface provides a more intuitive navigation paradigm letting users swipe between categories and more simply select articles. There's also a new "Explore in depth" button that lets you see more information and related articles to a particular story that you're reading.

Google notes that the Google News page provides other news sites with over 6 billion visits per month, so this is an important set of updates for the platform. You can view the new UI at news.google.com on your tablet now.
