Google is making it easier to see news from your favorite outlets. A new feature, called “preferred sources,” will let you choose the outlets you want to see featured the most in Search’s “top stories” section.
Google’s top stories hub appears when you search for something related to a current event, and displays a bunch of relevant articles from around the web. Along with prominently featuring articles from your preferred outlets in the top stories list, Google may also include them in a new “from your sources” section. Google first started testing the preferred sources feature in June, and now it’s rolling out to users in the US and India.
further enabling media bubbles. i’d rather see an approach that leverages something like ground.news that ranks the bias in articles.
Nah the people affected by these bubbles are too dumb to use these tools anyway lmao
Well, yes and no. If you can choose your media sources, then you avoid accidental drifting (trust me, I’ve accidentally drifted before, almost ended badly)
