Google just handed you control of your news, but there's one thing to watch out for
Search for something that's in the news. Tap the little icon to the right of Top Stories. Search and select your preferred sources. Refresh your results and enjoy more from the sites you like. It is actually pretty easy to set up your preferred sources. | Image credit – Google Once you've picked your sources, you'll see them more often in Top Stories or even in a special 'From your sources' section. You'll still get results from other outlets, and you can change your picks anytime. You can also add as many sources as you want. And if you tried this back when it was in Labs, your old choices will carry over automatically.

But here's the thing: if you only read from your favorites, how do you know you're getting the full story? Sure, it's nice to stick to sources you trust, but if everyone filters out perspectives they don't agree with, we risk living in our own little news bubbles.

Google Search will show you more content from your Preferred Sources
Today Google is launching Preferred Sources in Search for everyone in the US and India. This basically lets you tell Google what your preferred sources for information are, and it will then show you more content from those sources in the Top stories part of Google Search. The rollout is expected to take a few days. To select your Preferred Sources, click on the icon to the right of "Top stories". You can then search for sources and select the ones you want. Then, refresh your results and you'll instantly get more from your favorite sites, and your preferences are saved for the future of course. You'll see content from your Preferred Sources both in Top stories and a dedicated "From your sources" section on the search results page. You will still see content from other sites - your Preferred Sources will just be featured more prominently and more often. You can of course change your source selections at any time, and you can select as many Preferred Sources as you like. Source
