Google Unveils ‘Preferred Sources’ Feature for News Enthusiasts
Google has made a significant advancement that is likely to please news aficionados: the company has launched a brand-new “preferred sources” feature, which empowers readers to select their favorite news outlets. This initiative ensures that these sources are prioritized within the Top Stories section of Google News.
Released on August 12, this feature permits users to curate their news experience based on individual preferences. Users can select sources that matter to them, tailoring the information they receive.
With this functionality, whenever users search for a topic or keyword—such as “dark energy”—on the Google News platform, they will discover the latest coverage on that subject from The Debrief, alongside articles from a variety of other news organizations.
As noted in a post on Google’s The Keyword blog, “Upon selecting your preferred sources, you will see a greater number of their articles prominently featured in Top Stories whenever fresh and pertinent content is published.”
This capability extends to any news website that users decide to establish as their preferred source, thereby enhancing personalization in the news ecosystem.
Steps to Add The Debrief as a Preferred Source
Incorporating The Debrief into your preferred news sources on Google News is a straightforward process. You can either follow this link or utilize the steps outlined below:
