Google News Drops Editors’ Picks & Standout Meta Tag

The new version of Google News has launched last night and with that, Google has ended support for the Editors’ Picks feeds and the standout meta tag in Google News.

Google posted about it on Twitter last night saying “As part of the new Google News, we have ended support for Editors’ Picks feeds & the standout meta tag. We’ll have more to share on other ways publishers can optimize visibility in the near future.”
