Universal Source Filters on Ground Web

Ground News is built to give news readers transparency and control, not to decide what you should read, but to empower you to see how stories are covered across the spectrum of media. These filters support that mission by putting the choice in your hands.

With the latest update to the Ground News web experience, you can now fully personalize how news stories appear using our universal source filters.

Under Preferences, you can now fine-tune your news feed using several filters and sorting options. Any changes made here will automatically apply across your story pages and feed filters, making your preferences the new default.

1. Head to the Ground News homepage and sign in to your account.

2. Navigate to My Account in the top-right corner of your screen.

3. Select Preferences from the left-hand sidebar.
