How to get more Long Island news in your Google searches

A single setting in Google can get you more of the information you want: Preferred news sources.

This feature lets you choose your favorite websites to see more results from the services you subscribe to and the people you follow. You can choose as many news outlets as you'd like and change your preferences at any time. Selecting Newsday as a preferred source means you'll see more Long Island news and updates prioritized in your feed.

Here's how it works

Many Google searches now display results in a Top Stories module or an AI Overview. That AI Overview generates a summary compiled from various sources. Designating your preferred news outlets prioritizes these sources for more personalized search results.
