Google launches new preferred sources feature allowing users to customize Top Stories with Daily Mail and other outlets in the US and India

If you’re someone who loves keeping up with the latest headlines and breaking stories, Google has just made it a whole lot easier.

A new feature now lets users customize their search results to prioritize news from their preferred sources—like the Daily Mail.

This means you can make sure you never miss a story, whether it’s hard-hitting news, exclusive investigations, or your favorite lifestyle and showbiz content.

How Google’s Preferred Sources Work

The feature, called “preferred sources,” allows you to handpick which news outlets appear most prominently in Google’s Top Stories section.

Once you choose your preferred sources, Google will highlight articles from them whenever fresh and relevant content is available for your search.

Not only do your chosen outlets appear more often in Top Stories, but they also get a special spot in a dedicated “From your sources” section on the search results page.

How to Add Daily Mail to Your Preferred Sources

Adding the Daily Mail—or any outlet you love—is quick and straightforward. Here’s how:

  1. Open Google in your preferred browser and search for any news topic.

  2. Click the icon to the right of Top Stories.

  3. Type Daily Mail in the search bar when prompted.

  4. Select Daily Mail as your preferred source.

  5. Refresh your browser to see Daily Mail content featured in your Top Stories.

You can repeat this process to add as many outlets as you like, and you can update your selections at any time.

Why This Feature Matters

According to Google, selecting your preferred sources ensures you see more articles from those outlets whenever new and relevant content is published.

It’s a convenient way to personalize your news experience and focus on the sources you trust most.

Availability

Google rolled out this feature to users in the US and India on August 12, 2025, making it easier than ever to tailor your news feed to your favorite publications.

Now, staying on top of the latest headlines and exclusive stories has never been simpler.
