Between AI Overviews, changing search tabs, recommended services, and constant algorithm updates, Google’s search results are always evolving—and not always in a direction that feels useful. But there’s good news for readers: Google has launched a new personalization feature that puts you in charge of what shows up in your Top Stories feed.
This new feature, called “preferred sources,” lets you customize which publishers appear most often in your Google News and Top Stories results.
If you’re a fan of Chronogram and never want to miss a story, here’s how to make sure our latest coverage always shows up for you.
What Is a Preferred Source?
A preferred source is any news outlet or website you choose to prioritize in your Google Top Stories feed.
Once you set a preferred source, Google will show you more content from that outlet—provided it’s timely and relevant to your interests.
It’s the simplest way to keep up with trusted, local reporting without having to search for it manually.
