Google Planning to Integrate News with Web Search Results

Google is planning to change the way it blends news results and web search results, co-arranging links to news sources and web pages if your search terms are relevant to current news events. The new format will replace OneBox news links that have normally appeared at the top of a search result page, such as shown below:

Shortly, news results will no longer be inserted into web pages using a OneBox format. Instead, they will be blended into the regular search results. According to Google this will allow them to rank news according to relevance in search results rather than at top of the page.
