How to make 8News a preferred Google news source

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- Google has launched a new feature in its search engine that lets you select your favorite sites. Here’s how you can add 8News to your list!

Google Search Product Manager Duncan Osborn published a guide in August on selecting your preferred sources in Google’s Top Stories. When users select their preferred sources, they’ll start seeing articles from those sources more prominently.

“This is just one of the many ways that you can customize your Search experience in order to find the information that is most relevant to you,” Osborn said.

Users who sign up will see more content from their preferred sources and in a dedicated “from your sources” section on the search results page.
