"We're now launching this feature globally: in the coming days, it will be available for English-language users worldwide, and we'll roll it out to all supported languages early next year. This builds on the great early feedback we've heard from users and websites. People have selected a wide range of preferred sources - nearly 90,000 unique sources, from local blogs to global news outlets. When someone picks a preferred source, they click to that site twice as much on average."
"Google also posted a publisher resource section on this feature. Google wrote: In Top stories, you can select your preferred sources. Next to the "Top stories" header, click the Cards Star icon Preferred sources cards star icon. You can search for and choose the sources and outlets you'd like to find. For relevant news queries, these sources show up more often in "Top stories" and "From your sources." Learn more about Top Stories in Search."
Preferred Sources is expanding globally, initially available to English-language users worldwide and on track for additional languages next year. The feature grew from a June beta to launches in the US and India, and nearly 90,000 unique preferred sources have been selected, boosting site clicks by about twofold. Users activate Preferred Sources by searching a news topic, clicking the Top Stories icon, and selecting preferred outlets. Publishers can follow the Cards Star flow to be added to Top Stories and From your sources results. Spotlighting subscriptions will highlight and prioritize links from paid subscriptions and surface them in a dedicated carousel across Gemini, AI Mode, and AI Overviews.
