We examine how placement of geo-targeted local news links on Google News affects online local news consumption. Using a sample of news visits by 43087 US households before and after a Google News design change, we find that aggregation increases both the level and the share of local news consumed online. Magnitudes are small: local news visits increase by less than 1 percent and the likelihood of a local news visit increases by 4-6 percent. The redesign also increases the local share of visits to outlets, indicating that aggregation alters not only the size but also the composition of the local media audience.
