This article looks at news publishers from Argentina, Brazil and Colombia that participate in Google News Showcase and aims to verify the relationship between the platformization process and the economic sustainability of journalism in the Global South. Given the recent nature of the study object, a qualitative methodology was used to collect information through primary sources. To accomplish this, we conducted a random sampling of media from the aforementioned countries participating in Showcase, followed by semi-structured interviews with 16 journalists from these media publishers. Based on the interviews, the participants expressed a sense of dissatisfaction regarding remuneration and the scope of the news, and criticized the platformization of the industry. The results show that Showcase has led to a complicated relationship between the media (in our study) and Google. What’s more, platforms are now essential for the economic sustainability of news companies. This means Showcase is providing a new way to diversify media income rather than contributing to a fairer relationship between both parties in terms of the sustainability of journalism.
