Google introduces 'preferred sources' feature. How to add Delaware Online

Understanding Google’s Preferred Sources Feature

Google has introduced a new feature called “preferred sources,” designed to help users tailor their news experience by prioritizing content from their favorite websites. This feature allows individuals to customize the Top Stories section, ensuring that they see more articles from the sites they follow and trust.

The concept behind preferred sources is simple: when you search for a topic or keyword, Google will display the latest content related to that query from your chosen sources. Whether it's a local news outlet, a sports blog, or any other website you frequently visit, this feature ensures that your news feed reflects your personal preferences.

How the Feature Works

Launched on August 12, the preferred sources feature gives users the ability to curate their news experience based on their interests. Once you select your preferred sources, Google will start showing more of their articles prominently in the Top Stories section, provided those sources have published fresh and relevant content for your search.

This functionality not only enhances user experience but also helps users stay informed about topics they care about without having to sift through irrelevant or less trustworthy sources.
