“Preferred Sources” is a registration feature for news-related web media, similar to the “Following” feature in Google News. When a website (media) registered by a user as a “Preferred Source” publishes news articles or content, these will be prioritized in the “Top Stories” section of Google Search results.

In other words, articles published by the web media outlets that a user trusts are more likely to appear prominently in the “Top Stories” section of Google Search.

To register a media outlet as a “Preferred Source,” users can click the “Preferred Sources” icon on the right side of the “Top Stories” section when performing a news-related search, and enter the URL of their favorite media. Furthermore, web media outlets can encourage readers to register by using the link format: “https://google.com/preferences/source?q=(site URL)” (e.g., registering for “Preferred Sources”).

There is no limit to the number of media outlets a user can register as a “Preferred Source.” We will continue to provide useful information to everyone, and we would be very happy if you could register our site as one of your “Preferred Sources.”
