Ask HN: how does Google News selects its sources

1 pointpilooch2 comments

After the agreement in France between Google and the press (HN thread here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5152443), few observed that Google News only index a subset of the available news sources.

Typically (and sorry for the French-only example), the news source http://reflets.info/ often breaks the national news, though none of its articles do appear on Google news. However, these articles do appears among the organic search results.

Anyone has clues on how the selection is made by any chances ?
