List: Top Ten News Sources for Google News
Date: as of 30th May 2007
Source: Google News Report USA
Base: All websites tracked as contributing news feeds to Google News .com
Notes: 'Google News Report' fetches the headlines from Google News on a schedule and the results are then ranked by a score that is determined by a combination of factors such as day and time, prominence on the Google News page, number of appearances, plus others, all weighted using a custom algorithm. The algorithm is designed to estimate referrer traffic to the source. There are 16 international editions: USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Italy, France, Switzerland, French Canada, India, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Mexico, Argentina and Chile. Google News aggregates headlines from more than 4,500 English-language news sources worldwide, so it is worth noting that Google News Report USA only found 1,256 of these news sources. Therefore, over 72% of the more than 4,500 news sources didn't have their headline make it to the Google News home page.
