How to make NPR and your local station your preferred news source on Google

NPR

It might feel like there are a million places where you can get your news. But the NPR Network is committed to delivering you reliable, independent and accessible information 24/7, without fear or favor.

And now when you select us as one of your preferred sources, you'll start to see more NPR journalism displayed within Google's Top Stories sections when we have fresh stories for your search.

Here's how: Head to your search engine settings and check off the box indicating NPR as your preferred source. You can also add your local NPR Network station to your list of source preferences (find yours here if you're not sure!)

Once you update your sources, NPR will appear more often in your Top Stories section and in a dedicated "From your sources" section on your search results page. You'll still see a mix of stories from other sites.
