Google Search offers users the ability to customize their news experience by selecting preferred sources that will appear more frequently in search results. To set these sources, users can click on the icon next to the Top Stories section during a search, allowing them to add specific news outlets such as The New York Times or local news websites. This feature aims to ensure that users receive content that aligns with their interests, as preferred sources will be displayed 'more often' than others. Additionally, Google News complements this feature by allowing users to follow specific topics and manage their sources, although new sources must be added through Google Search. Many news websites are also incorporating 'Add as a preferred source' badges, making it easier for readers to customize their news feed. Furthermore, users can block unwanted outlets in Google News to refine their content further. Overall, these tools are designed to help users navigate the vast array of information available online and focus on quality news.
