One of the strengths of Google News is the diversity we can supply by crawling thousands of sources from around the world. Recently, we’ve plus focused on building on the strength of our local news sources. Today you can do just that: find local news by typing your city name or zip cipher. As always, we’ll bring you results from multiple sources. The biggest change is that top stories in your

local area will seem at the top of your results. Our ranking system will take into history the location of the source so we can promote the local sources for each story.

There’s more knowledge about that on the Google News Blog and our help pages. We inspire you to try it out yourself as we keep working to bring you a better news experience.
