Google News Tip: Create your own sections
I was getting a bit tired of the US-centric news at the top of the Irish Google News page when I just noticed it is easy to add your own sections to the Google News page.
To do this:
- Click Personalize this Page (top right)
- Click “Add a custom section”
- Choose the keywords you want Google use when searching for news for this section. Choose carefully e.g. “Ireland Dublin” gives me news stories related to our beloved country and capital city. You can also use the Advanced link to narrow the search to a particular language and provide your own section label (otherwise it is labelled using the keywords you provided).
- You can also delete the standard sections - edit one and you’ll see a “Delete Section” tick box - tick it and save changes and poof!
- Lastly, you can rearrange sections by dragging them around the layout provided in “Personalize this page”.

I’d suggest adding “Irish” to that list also for things like “Irish company” or “Irish soccer team”
