New Publishers Say Their Content Is Not Being Ranked In Google News
https://www.seroundtable.comThere are a nice number of vocal SEOs and online publishers who have been complaining all year long about their new online publishing news web sites are not being indexed and ranked in Google News.
The interesting part is that this all started when Google announced in December 2019 that Google News publisher submission is no longer necessary or needed to be shown in Google News results. Google wrote back then “Publishers no longer need to submit their site to be eligible for the Google News app and website. Publishers are automatically considered for Top stories or the News tab of Search”
The complaints from these online publishers is that they all started sites after December 2019 and those new sites are not being indexed or ranked in Google News.
AFAIK no newly launched news publisher has managed to get in to Google News in 2020.
If anyone has an example of one who has, I'd be very keen to know.

If you go by the site operator argument, then even Reddit and Twitter surface there as site operator shows anything indexed in SERP pic.twitter.com/zeqOUSFPIh
