Understanding Google’s ‘Preferred Sources’ Feature

Google has introduced a new feature called “preferred sources,” designed to help users tailor their news experience by highlighting content from their favorite websites. This feature allows users to customize how they receive information within the Top Stories section of Google Search. By selecting preferred sources, users can ensure that the latest updates from their go-to news outlets appear more prominently in search results.

The feature was launched on August 12 and gives users the ability to filter their news consumption based on personal preferences. Whether you're interested in sports, local news, or any other topic, Google will prioritize content from your selected sources when relevant information is available.

How to Add the Desert Sun as a Preferred Source

Adding the Desert Sun to your list of preferred sources is a straightforward process. You can use a direct link provided by Google or follow these steps:

1. Search for a topic that is currently in the news.
2. Click on the icon next to "Top Stories" to access the settings.
3. Choose your preferred sources, which could include the Desert Sun or any other news organization you regularly visit.
4. Refresh your search results to see more content from your chosen sources.

This method ensures that whenever you perform a search related to a topic covered by the Desert Sun, you’ll see the most recent articles from that outlet first.
