Enhanced Google News
If anyone reads Google news - as part of their everyday lives, they can now further customize their news experience by adding sections to their news page.

On the next page, choose a title for your section and then add relevant keywords. As you do, news related to those keywords will appear on the right. This will help you know if you’re choosing the right keywords. Finish filling out the form. If you check the box for public view, you’ll need to add a description and select a category.
