Google has launched a new source preferences feature, giving Australians more say over which news outlets appear first in their search results.

The update lets you lock in the news brands you trust most, placing them at the top of Google’s “Top Stories” carousel so you see the facts fast — from the outlets you rely on.

You can add 7NEWS as your preferred source by following this link. It will take you to a simple setup page:

Hit the blue button and you are done — 7NEWS will be prioritised whenever you search.

From breaking emergencies and police operations to major political developments, sport, weather and consumer news, choosing 7NEWS as your go‑to source means our team is front and centre for you when it matters most.

After a successful trial in Google Search Labs last year, the feature has now rolled out worldwide — and it’s officially available to Aussies.
