The Google News of old was too cluttered and not particularly beautiful. The new Google News has a simplified, two-column design, with most of the navigation residing on top of the page, and it's a big improvement.
There's a big focus on customization and personalization. Google's choice of "top stories" and "picks for you" sit on top of the page; scroll down, and you'll get a more detailed breakdown of the topics you follow, which you can change by clicking on the "customize" button.
