Will I still see news from other publishers?
Yes. You will still be able to see other news from a wide range of publishers. You can also manage or change your preferred sources at any time.
Choosing a specific site as a preferred source simply means you’ll see more stories from that publisher, either more often in Top Stories or in a dedicated “From your sources” section on the search results page. However, it won’t limit the rest of your feed.
What if I can’t see the Preferred Sources Icon?
If you can’t see the Preferred Sources Icon, there are a few simple things to check.
- Make sure you’re signed in: Preferred Sources are linked to your Google account, so check you’re logged in, then refresh the page.
- Try searching a different news topic: The Top Stories box only appears for topics with recent news coverage, so searching something timely can help.
- Update the Google app: If you’re using mobile, make sure you’ve got the latest version of the Google app installed, then try again.
Once you’ve done these steps, go to Google and you should be able to add Hull Live as your preferred source. If you’re still having difficulties, please contact us at news@hulldailymail.co.uk.
