Google News aims to help and empower people to deepen their understanding of current events and news.
Find an organized experience of top stories, articles, videos, and more from around the world with News features on Search. On Search, Google helps you access results from a broad range of publishers.
When you search for a topic that’s in the news, Google algorithms organize specific stories and articles based on factors like relevance, prominence, and authoritativeness of the publisher. These results are not personalized, but you can refine your search terms to find additional information.
Preferred sources
In Top stories, you can select your preferred sources. Next to the “Top stories” header, click the Cards Star icon . You can search for and choose the sources and outlets you’d like to find. For relevant news queries, these sources show up more often in “Top stories” and “From your sources.” Learn more about Top Stories in Search.
If you have a site that shows up in this tool, direct your readers to select your publication in “Preferred sources.” You can either:
-
Add the deeplink to your social posts or promotions.
-
Example deeplink URL: https://google.com/preferences/source?q=<your website URL>
-
-
Include the button on your site alongside other social call to action (CTAs).
Top stories
When Google Search detects a news-oriented search, you’ll find “Top stories” as a primary search result. "Top stories" features articles related to the search and a link to more related articles on the News tab. Results for “Top stories” are selected algorithmically.
News tab of Search
When you search for news on Google, the News tab filters search results to show relevant news articles. The News tab displays more articles than a regular search query and results are selected algorithmically.
