News Alert

When you create a Google News Alert, you can be sure you will be up-to-date with the latest news in the topic of your choice. Google continuously searches thousands of news sources to compile the top stories on its Google News page. Google searches more than 4,500 news sources using the search terms specified in your alert. When Google finds your search terms located in one of the top ten news stories, you receive a News Alert.

The News Alert is a great way to stay connected to the news without having to repeatedly scan the news on your own. Because Google Alerts creates an alert each time your topic of interest makes the news and sends it to you in an e-mail, based on the frequency specified in the alert, you never have to worry about missing this information.

Alerts can be created for a wide variety of topics, including sports news, financial news, and general news for a specific country or region. Creating alerts to search for very specific information can get a little tricky. For assistance in creating complex alerts use Google Advanced Search to create the perfect alert.
