Google's blog post talks about introducing the newsfeed to the Google app, but I don't see any mention of Google.com: https://www.blog.google/products/search/feed-your-need-know/

Anyone know where the BBC found this confirmation?

I think they weren't being precise and just meant how the app will look, which some people might equate with google.com itself.

I don't see any reason to believe it would affect the site.

Perhaps the BBC spoke to someone at Google who said the news feed would be available via the web – à la https://news.google.com or https://newsstand.google.com/ – which the reporter misunderstood to mean Google.com itself would display the news feed?

It just seems anomalous that such a great change would be announced with so little fanfare (a single sentence in the article). I need to see confirmation before I believe it.

The iPhone app has it already.

as does the android app - has for a long time. The only announcement here seems to be that they're putting some marketing behind it and calling it a capital-P Product, instead of just being a feature of the app.

If they're actually adding it to Google.com that's newsworthy, but i think that's just the BBC misinterpreting something.
