NorthEscambia.com Selected For Inclusion In Google News

July 7, 2008

Google has selected NorthEscambia.com for inclusion in its Google News service.

“Google News is a computer-generated news site that aggregates headlines from more than 4,500 English-language news sources worldwide, groups similar stories together and displays them according to each reader’s personalized interests,” according to Google.

In the North Escambia area, only the Pensacola News Journal, WKRG TV 5, the Mobile-Press Register and the Northwest Florida Daily News are included in Google News. The other area papers and television stations are not in the service. In order to be included in the news.google.com service, a site such as NorthEscambia.com must be selected by a human at Google as a quality news service.

While news.google.com has indexed only about 65 NorthEscambia.com stories so far, the site is expected to add a more complete index of our stories in the coming weeks. Once NorthEscambia.com adds a new story, it is available for users worldwide searching Google news within minutes. Our stories are also available to users of the regular google.com service, with about 1,000 NorthEscambia.com stories currently indexed by Google.
