You want to keep up with the latest news, but you don’t have hours to spend every day combing through every website, newspaper, and magazine from around the world that has published something new within the last 24 hours. Luckily, Google News has you covered with its fast and easy way to keep up with all of the latest news stories as they develop. Here’s how to use Google News to stay on top of the stories you care about most without ever having to leave your computer!

Choose the topic you are most interested in
There are many ways you can get information through a search. I spend a lot of time on the news, trying to find out what's going on in this crazy world. Sometimes, I'm looking for updates about an artist I like and there's not enough for me to find out about their tour dates. Other times, I want some insight into the latest fashion trends from my favorite bloggers. It doesn't matter how you're looking for information; if it's not in google news it won't show up! Here are three steps you can take:
Find a specific topic that interests you- For example, Walt Disney company or British currency. You'll notice some topics might appear more than once because they have different perspectives.

Check if it’s relevant for your business
Does your company sell dog food? Pet foods are now a big business, but many consumers would like to know how different types stack up. Fortunately, the web is full of information for those who want to know about pet foods and ingredients.
1) Dig around online for articles that compare different pet food brands or rate a specific brand's offerings. Websites such as Consumer Reports publish objective analyses of products from across industries, and some may list which ingredients are found in a particular product. The Dogington Post provides an informal review and has information on where you can buy these products. Dogster provides great resources for what food your pooch might need based on his breed, size, life stage, and more.

Take some time to understand how it works and how often it gets updated
The more you know about what you're looking for, the more effective your search will be. The first and easiest way to search is through Google's Advanced Search function. In this option, you'll get a pre-written drop-down menu asking what you want and how you want it to show up. Searching by date, site, and result type are just some examples. You can also change your own preferences with these types of searches and have greater control over what exactly pops up on your screen. Another way you can use Google is by going through the timeline on their ข่าวไอที page for recent updates. If you're not sure about what keywords are, no worries!

Set up alerts based on keywords
Now that you know how to build a headline, gather keywords, and read your writing for mistakes, it's time to get in touch with your inner editor. In order to do this, go back and edit your headline again. Ask yourself what might be most interesting about this story. What are people looking for? And why is it important? Then turn on google alerts based on keywords related to what's happening in your newsfeed so you don't miss anything worth reading.

Optimize your headlines
Social media can be a great way to promote your content, especially if you've linked your website and social profiles on every post. Utilize every channel you have at your disposal – Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. – so that people who aren't subscribed get notified of your blog posts. Even better: make an account with Ads and create some native ads so that they look like they're coming from the host site instead of an advertiser.

Promote your content on social media (and try native ads)
For all your recent news needs, google news has you covered. With one search, you can find stories from different outlets in just a few seconds. A popular feature is that it displays at what time the story was published and how many other outlets have picked up the story. So if you need background information or updates on current events, then google news is a great place to start! Also, make sure to explore the Latest Headlines or Top Stories tab- these tabs let you choose what types of headlines you want to see. Another helpful tip is to look for topics that interest you by clicking on one of its hashtags (#). This will bring up more posts in that category for your viewing pleasure!

Enjoy reading quality content about trending topics
Google news is a great way to stay informed about the latest and greatest topics in your area. The only problem is it can be tough to get the information you want from the constant stream of stories. To help you make better use of google news, here are some tips on how to find and read articles:
1) Head over to google news and type in your desired topic for more general questions like world affairs or sports.
