Google Adds ‘Preferred Sources’ Tool to Let Users Rank Publishers

Google has introduced a “Preferred Sources” option in its search settings, allowing users to select specific publishers whose articles will appear first in the Top Stories carousel. The feature gives readers more direct control over the mix of news they see when they run searches or browse personalized feeds. Publishers have begun urging audiences to designate them as preferred outlets. Financial news service Benzinga and several Business Journals titles highlighted the update on Wednesday, saying it would help readers surface market moves and local business developments more quickly. The rollout underscores intensifying competition among media organizations for visibility on Google’s dominant news distribution channels.
