Google is testing a new version of its Google News service, which will present the latest news headlines through related images.

Google said that many people prefer to read the news "in a more visual way." The Image Version of News lets users view and explore the top headlines of the day through photos instead of just text. Google News Image Version is currently available online at http://news.google.com/news?imv=1.

When users roll over an image on the left, it exposes the full snippet and link to the related article on the right side of the page. Clicking on an image will take users directly to the article the image came from. In addition, users can search for image search results.
