Make a Custom News Section Part Two

Once you've clicked on the Add a custom section link, type in the keywords relevant to the news items you'd like to see. Keep in mind that Google will search only for articles that contain all of the keywords you type here.

Once you've entered your keywords, select how many articles you'd like to see on the main Google News page. The default is set to three.

Click the Add section button to complete the process. You can rearrange your custom news sections the same way you arrange standard sections.

As an example, I have two custom news sections. One is for "Google" and the other is for "Higher Education." Whenever Google finds relevant news articles on these two topics, it adds the top three headlines to my custom Google news sections, just as it would for any other section.
