You stay closer to the stories that matter every time you search
In an age when the flood of information can obscure as much as it reveals, Google has introduced a quiet but meaningful shift in how readers find the news they trust. The preferred sources feature allows users to gently shape their own discovery — not by walling out the world, but by inviting chosen voices a little closer. The US Sun is now among the publications available for this personalized arrangement, offering its readers a more direct path to its reporting without surrendering the breadth of the open web.
- The sheer volume of online news has made it harder than ever for readers to reliably surface the outlets they actually trust amid algorithmic noise.
- Google's preferred sources feature introduces a subtle but real disruption to the default, one-size-fits-all news feed that most users have simply accepted.
- The US Sun is now part of this system, positioning itself as a destination readers can actively choose rather than passively stumble upon.
- A dedicated 'From your sources' carousel gives selected outlets a visible lane of their own, separate from the general Top Stories competition.
- The setup takes roughly one minute, requires only a Google account, and can be adjusted or reversed at any time — lowering the barrier to personalized discovery.
Google has launched a feature called preferred sources, giving users the ability to choose which news outlets appear more prominently in their search results. The US Sun is now available to add, and the setup takes about a minute.
The process begins in any Google search. After a news-related query surfaces the Top Stories box, a small starred icon appears beside it. Tapping it allows users to search for and select a publication — in this case, The US Sun — after which that outlet's matching stories will rise more visibly in future results. The feature doesn't eliminate other publishers; it simply gives chosen sources a more consistent presence.
Adding The US Sun produces two visible changes: its stories appear more often in the Top Stories box when relevant, and a dedicated carousel labeled 'From your sources' appears on results pages, offering a direct feed of the outlet's newest work. Users can add multiple publications and edit their selections freely at any time.
The US Sun covers breaking news, exclusive investigations, entertainment, consumer finance, and opinion — content its newsroom describes as unavailable elsewhere. For readers not yet seeing the feature, the most common fixes are confirming account sign-in, updating the Google app, or trying a different search topic to trigger the Top Stories box.
Once configured, the preference requires no further maintenance. Readers simply search as usual and find the publication they chose waiting a little closer than before.
Google has rolled out a feature that lets you decide which news outlets show up more often when you search. It's called preferred sources, and The US Sun is now available to add to your personalized feed. The whole process takes about a minute.
Here's how it works. You open Google in your browser or app—make sure you're logged in to your account. Then you search for a recent news story, which brings up the Top Stories box. Next to that box, there's a small starred icon. Tap or click it. When Google prompts you, search for "The US Sun," select the publication from the results, and you're done. From that point forward, when your search queries match stories The US Sun has published, those articles will appear more prominently in your Top Stories box.
The feature doesn't hide other news outlets or create a bubble. Google still shows a mix of publishers. What preferred sources does is nudge the outlets you've chosen into view more often. You can add multiple publications and change your selections whenever you want. If you decide you want to remove The US Sun or reorder your sources, you just go back to that same menu and edit your choices.
When you add The US Sun as a preferred source, two things change in your search results. First, when your query matches recent coverage from the publication, The Sun appears more often in the Top Stories box. Second, Google adds a dedicated carousel labeled "From your sources" on the results page, so you can jump straight to the newest articles from the outlets you've selected. The feature is now available across several regions and continues to expand.
The US Sun's newsroom covers breaking news from around the world, exclusive investigations, and stories generating conversation. The publication also provides coverage of entertainment, television, and streaming, along with consumer and money news focused on helping readers manage bills, find deals, and avoid scams. The outlet publishes opinion pieces, features, and exclusive interviews not available elsewhere.
If you're not seeing the option to add preferred sources, there are a few things to check. Make sure you're signed into your Google account, since the feature is tied to your account specifically. Try searching for a different news topic—the Top Stories box only appears on queries with recent coverage. If you're on mobile, update the Google app to the latest version. The feature may not yet be live in your region, but it's expanding, so checking back periodically makes sense. After you add The US Sun, refresh the page. If Top Stories doesn't update right away, give it a moment—the change happens automatically.
Once you've added The US Sun to your preferred sources, you'll see more of its exclusives and top content every time you search. The setup is one-time; after that, you stay closer to the stories that matter without having to do anything else.

La Conversación del Hearth Otra perspectiva de la historia
So this is just Google letting you pick your favorite news sources?
Essentially, yes—but it's more deliberate than that. You're actively telling Google which outlets matter to you, and Google then surfaces those outlets more often when you search for news.
Does that mean other outlets disappear?
No. Google still shows a mix of publishers. It's not creating a closed loop. It's more like saying, "When The US Sun has something relevant to what I'm searching for, show me that first."
How long does it actually take to set up?
About a minute. You search for a news story, click a starred icon next to Top Stories, search for The US Sun, and select it. That's it.
And then what changes?
Two things. The US Sun articles show up more often in your Top Stories box when they're relevant to your search. And Google adds a carousel called "From your sources" so you can jump straight to the newest articles from outlets you've picked.
Can you change your mind?
Anytime. You can add multiple outlets, remove them, reorder them—whatever you want. It's completely flexible.
