Unlock a World of Insight: How to Get More 'The Week' Stories in Your Google Feed!

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, staying informed with the perspectives that truly matter to you can feel like a challenge. If you're a devoted reader of The Week, cherishing its unique blend of concise news, insightful analysis, and thought-provoking commentary, you might find yourself wishing your Google feeds delivered more of what you love.

Good news: you absolutely can! Google's powerful algorithms, while sometimes seeming mysterious, are designed to learn from your preferences. With a few simple tweaks, you can train Google Discover and Google News to become your personal gateway to a richer, more consistent stream of stories from The Week.

The most straightforward and effective method is to explicitly tell Google you're interested.

Open your Google News app or navigate to Google Discover in your browser or Google app. Use the search bar to look for "The Week." Once you find our official source page, you'll see a prominent "Follow" button – give it a tap! This single action signals a strong preference to Google, immediately boosting the likelihood of our articles appearing in your feed.

Google learns from your interactions.

Every time you see an article from The Week appear in your feed, take a moment to engage with it. Reading the article is, of course, a great start. But beyond that, look for opportunities to give it a "like" (often represented by a heart icon or a thumbs-up). The more positive signals you send for our content, the smarter Google becomes at prioritizing it for you.

Think of it as a subtle conversation with the algorithm: "More of this, please!"

Just as important as telling Google what you do want is telling it what you don't. If you frequently see stories or sources that don't align with your interests or aren't from The Week, don't just scroll past them.

On most Google Discover and Google News cards, you'll find a three-dot menu (often in the corner). Tapping this usually reveals options like "Hide story," "Don't show stories from this source," or "Not interested in this topic." Utilize these options to refine your feed, making more room for The Week's content to shine through.

For a more granular approach, dive into Google's personalization settings.

In Google News, look for a "Following" or "For You" section, which often leads to "Manage your interests" or similar options. Here, you can actively add "The Week" as a topic or source of interest, and conversely, review and remove any topics that are cluttering your feed. Being proactive in these settings gives you significant control over the content that reaches you.

Remember, your Google feed isn't a static entity; it's a dynamic, evolving space.

Your interests might change, and Google's algorithms are constantly adapting. Make it a habit to occasionally review your feed, engaging with The Week's stories, and gently nudging Google away from less relevant content. A few moments of active personalization can lead to a significantly more satisfying and informative reading experience.

By taking these simple, yet powerful, steps, you'll transform your Google Discover and Google News feeds into a truly personalized hub for the in-depth reporting and unique insights that only The Week delivers.

Don't let valuable perspectives get lost in the digital noise. Empower yourself to curate your news and ensure The Week is always at your fingertips!
