Google News has always maintained a strict set of guidelines for which sources it will display in the “In the News” section. But now, as evidenced by a discovery by Search Engine Land, Google News has clearly changed its standards.

Over the past few days there have been many surprising headlines popping up in the “In the News” area of search results. More important, though, is the source of these headlines: Reddit, as well as additional nontraditional “news” sources, have been appearing in news results.
