If you've ever wanted to see news articles from your favorite outlets right at the top of your Google Search results, you're in luck. Google now offers a way to customize the news you see with a feature called preferred sources. This new option allows you to select specific news publishers to appear more often in Google Search’s top stories section, making your news feed more relevant and tailored to your interests.
The preferred sources feature in Google Search lets users choose which news outlets they want to prioritize when searching for current events or trending topics. When you search for news, Google typically displays a "top stories" carousel featuring a variety of articles from across the web. With preferred sources, your favorite news providers will appear more frequently in this section. You might even see a dedicated "from your sources" segment showcasing articles from the outlets you trust most.
Setting up your preferred sources is easy and quick. After performing a search related to current news, look for an icon next to the "top stories" label. Clicking this icon will allow you to add or manage your preferred news sources. There’s no limit to how many outlets you can add, so you can build a diverse list that matches your interests. Once you've selected your favorites, simply refresh the search results to see those sources featured prominently in your news feed.
In an age where news overload can be overwhelming, having control over which sources you see helps ensure you get accurate, trustworthy information from publishers you know and respect. Google's preferred sources feature helps improve the news-reading experience by putting relevant content front and center. This personalization also builds on Google's ongoing efforts to balance AI-driven search innovations with user preferences, giving you more control without relying solely on automated algorithms.
