**Google Wants to Know What Kind of Local News You Care About**
Google is asking users what kind of local news they care about in an effort to improve the relevance of local news results in Google News and Google Search.
In a survey being sent to some users, Google asks respondents to select from a list of topics they’re interested in, including crime, traffic, weather, and local politics. Users can also select the geographic areas they’re interested in receiving news about.
Google says the feedback will be used to improve the relevance of local news results in Google News and Google Search. The company says it will also use the feedback to develop new features and products that make it easier for users to find the local news they care about.
The survey is part of Google’s ongoing efforts to improve the quality of its news results. In recent years, Google has made a number of changes to its news algorithms in an effort to surface more high-quality, relevant news from a wider range of sources.
The company has also launched a number of initiatives to support local journalism, including the Google News Initiative, which provides funding and training to local news organizations.
The survey is a positive step towards improving the relevance of local news results in Google News and Google Search. By asking users what kind of local news they care about, Google can better tailor its news results to the interests of its users.
