Can I filter out potentially controversial or sensitive news topics?

Can I combine news displays with other content types on the same screen?

Yes. Using Fugo's Design Studio, you can incorporate the Google News app as one element within a larger layout. Many users display news headlines alongside complementary content like weather forecasts, social media feeds, or company announcements. This multi-zone approach keeps screens visually engaging while maximizing the information value of each display.
