Google has also officially launched a new function for Call Search in our country Favorite sourceswhich allows users to choose which newspapers and information sites to see most often among the results related to current news.
How it works
When you search for a current topic on Google, the platform automatically shows a section dedicated to news – the so-called “Top news” – populated by algorithms based on the relevance and authority of the sources. With Favorite Sources, users can now explicitly indicate which publishers they prefer, increasing the likelihood of finding them in that section or in a special area called “From your sources”.
The function does not exclude other publishers or transform the search into a closed information bubble: Google will continue to offer diversified content, but will give more space to who the user has chosen to follow. Preferences can be changed at any time.
How to add a source
Setting up your favorite sources is very quick:
- Go to the page Source preferences by Google
- Search for the desired site in the “Search by name or website” field
- Check the corresponding box to add it
At this link you will find it already pre-filled.
Alternatively, after carrying out a search on a current topic, you can click on the star icon that appears in the Top news section and follow the same procedure from the “Choose your favorite sources” box.
The selected sources will appear in the section Your sourcesaccessible both from the Source Preferences page and from the dedicated box in the search results.
Because it is significant news
In an increasingly content-saturated digital landscape, having greater control over which information items reach our attention can make a difference. For those who want to stay updated on how to live more consciously – from sustainable mobility to lifestyle advice, from responsible consumption choices to the environment, to travel destinations to discover with a careful eye on the planet – this function is a concrete tool for building your own tailor-made information diet. Adding GreenMe to your favorite sources means always having contents designed for those who want to inform themselves without sacrificing quality within reach.
