As part of its ongoing commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals—specifically Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals—Ms. Amal Abbas, Website Administrator at the College of Engineering and Engineering Technologies, Al-Mustaqbal University, participated in an online training workshop organized by the University Presidency. The workshop focused on publishing strategies and professional standards required for news dissemination via Google News.
Google News is one of the world’s leading news aggregation platforms, known for its advanced algorithms that highlight trustworthy, original, and well-structured content. Publishing on this platform requires adherence to strict editorial guidelines, making it a valuable opportunity to enhance the university’s digital communication policies.
The workshop addressed the major challenges that institutions may face when attempting to publish through the platform—such as content duplication, insufficient sourcing, and lack of familiarity with Google’s publishing standards. Participants were introduced to practical methods for overcoming these obstacles and ensuring that their content aligns with the platform’s quality and reliability requirements.
In conclusion, the session provided a comprehensive overview of the procedures and editorial practices that authorized publishers must follow to ensure effective and sustainable publishing on Google News, thereby contributing to a more visible and credible online presence for the university.
