There have been a lot of changes to the Google algorithm recently. Surely you’ve noticed those AI Overviews that appear at the top of every result page. Well, now Google’s rolling out a new feature that will allow you to designate “Preferred Sources” so publications you know and trust (ahem) feature more prominently in “Top stories” and “News” placement and a dedicated “From your sources” section.
