Google has recently developed new tools that would make easier for webmasters and publishers of news sites to control how the search engine indexes their content for addition in the Google News portal. As of Tuesday, publishers of English-language news sites were indexed by Google News would also be able to include them in Google's Webmaster Tools service.

This means that publishers and webmasters would be able to state through a site map the articles they want Google News to index. Webmasters and publishers would also be able to see a list of their newest articles featured on the Google News, with the list of indexing errors made by the automated Google crawler, so that the problems could even be addressed.
