“It is in the interests of search engines to show news sites because that brings users who are in search of trusted and useful quality content,” he said. “These results suggest that Google’s competitors are well able to deliver that kind of professional content.”
Don’t be fearful of change, sometimes you end up even better off. So experiment a little.
