Reach avid news readers with Google News
From local and regional news outlets to national and global perspectives, Google News brings together diverse journalism to help us better understand our world.
Google News is focused on
Strengthening access to local news.
Providing access to a diverse range of sources.
Addressing misinformation while protecting the open web.
How do I show up in Google News?
Google automatically crawls the web regularly to include websites in Google News. There’s no application needed!
💡Best practice: Check if your news site shows up in Google News and manage how you appear with Google Publisher Center.
Go to Publisher Center

Inspire and inform people with Google Discover
On Google Search, users enter a search term to find helpful information related to their query.
Google Discover takes a different approach. Audiences can get updates for their interests, like their favorite sports team or news site, without having to search.
How do I show up on Discover?
Provide content that's timely, compelling, or unique
Use page titles that are succinct but informative
Include high-quality images that are at least 1200 pixels wide
Avoid using a site logo as your image
Avoid using misleading or exaggerated details in preview content
Avoid withholding information needed to understand what the content is about
Avoid catering to outrage
Avoid content that is excessively graphic or gruesome
