Key Points:
- Google is expanding its “Preferred Sources” tool in Search to all users worldwide and in all supported languages, allowing users to see news stories from their chosen sites more frequently.
- The tool aims to give users more control over the news they consume by prioritizing articles from trusted or preferred publications without excluding other sources entirely.
- Initially limited to certain regions and English language users, the feature has now rolled out globally, with over 200,000 unique sites already selected by users.
- Users can manage their preferences at google.com/preferences/source and add specific networks or sites they want to follow more closely.
- Google reports that readers are twice as likely to click on articles from their Preferred Sources, enhancing engagement with trusted news outlets.
