Google News Sources

Ever wonder what sources Google uses to get their news for http://news.google.com?

Google won't give us the list.

What's pretty clear is that there is only a small group of sites that's approved to have their articles show up on the homepage of Google News.

John Elliott decided to figure out what sites Google uses. So he wrote a script that captures the news page every 15 minutes then logs which sites are actually showing up with linked articles on that page.

You can see the result at http://www.privateradio.org/blog/i/google-news/index.php

Pretty interesting stuff! Check back across a few days to see the changing results.
