The feature is currently rolling out in the US and India, two of Google’s biggest markets.
With millions of readers turning to Hindustan Times daily, the publication has built a reputation for credible, fast, and in-depth journalism across technology, politics, business, lifestyle, and more.

Overview

  • Stories from selected websites and blogs are prioritized in the Top Stories carousel when they have fresh, relevant updates.
  • Users access the setting via the sources icon in Top Stories, search for outlets, select them, and refresh to apply changes.
  • A new "From your sources" section appears below Top Stories to surface more coverage from chosen outlets.
  • There is no limit on how many outlets you can add, and preferences can be updated at any time.
  • Results will still include other publishers, and Indian outlets say the rollout will reach all Search users in India over the coming days.
