    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Google News is known to most people as a big pile of web links, but it actually hosts magazines, too.

    Before the days of the Internet, a “magazine” was a big bundle of paper full of articles you could get shipped to your door, sort of like if you printed out a website.

    The company announced on a support page that purchased content will be shut down starting December 18.

    The new app focused more on online content but kept a spot for your magazine subscriptions.

    Google says that some magazines will be refund-eligible because they “contain interactive elements that cannot be downloaded and saved for future access.”

    December 18 isn’t just the date for the hosting shutdown, but also the deadline for downloads or refund requests.
