A <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/search\/preferred-sources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new feature<\/a>, called \u201cpreferred sources,\u201d will let you choose the outlets you want to see featured the most in Search\u2019s \u201ctop stories\u201d section.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Google\u2019s top stories hub appears when you search for something related to a current event, and displays a bunch of relevant articles from around the web. Along with prominently featuring articles from your preferred outlets in the top stories list, Google may also include them in a new \u201cfrom your sources\u201d section. <a href=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/google-search-tests-preferred-sources-for-top-stories-457640\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google first started testing<\/a> the preferred sources feature in June, and now it\u2019s rolling out to users in the US and India.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Preferred-Sources-How-To.png?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"&lt;em&gt;&lt;i&gt;Y&lt;\/i&gt;ou can add preferred sources by selecting the icon next to \u201ctop stories.\u201d&lt;\/em&gt;\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">To customize the sources you see, search for a timely topic, and select the icon next to the \u201ctop stories\u201d label. After you enter and select your favorite outlets, you can refresh your top stories to see them included. There isn\u2019t a limit on how many sources you can add, and if you\u2019ve already tried out the feature while it was in testing, Google will automatically apply them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">With Google positioning AI as the future of Search, it\u2019s a bit refreshing to see the company rolling out a feature that doesn\u2019t have anything to do with the technology. Last week, Google responded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/short-reads\/2025\/07\/22\/google-users-are-less-likely-to-click-on-links-when-an-ai-summary-appears-in-the-results\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to reports that its AI search features<\/a> are negatively impacting web traffic, saying click volume has remained \u201crelatively stable\u201d when compared to the same time last year.
