Google will now let you pick your top sources for search results

Google has announced a new feature that allows users to customize their search results by selecting their preferred news sources. This feature aims to give users more control over the information they receive and the ability to prioritize content from their trusted sources. Users will now be able to choose up to five news outlets that they consider as their "top sources" in the Google Search settings. When they perform a search, Google will then prioritize results from these selected sources, ensuring that the user receives more stories and content from their preferred news providers. This move by Google is seen as a response to concerns about the echo chamber effect and the need for users to access a diversity of perspectives. By allowing users to curate their own news sources, Google hopes to empower individuals to make more informed decisions and access a wider range of information. The new feature is currently being rolled out to users in the United States, with plans to expand it to other regions in the future.
