How to make the Lexington Herald-Leader your preferred source in Google search

If you’d rather have something like the classic Google experience — where trustworthy results relevant to you file to the top — the tech company recently launched a feature called “Preferred Sources.”
You can get trusted, soundly reported local news on Fayette County, Central and Eastern Kentucky by making the Lexington Herald-Leader one of your preferred sources, or websites selected by you that Google prioritizes in the “top stories” tab of search results.

The tool is only available to those with a Google account, and you may be asked to log in if you aren’t already. Google said in a blog post the feature is available in English.
