Google News Adds US Elections Section

Dec 24, 2007 at 8:59am ET by Barry Schwartz

The Google News Blog announced they have set up a special section for 2008 US presidential elections. The elections area is featured on the home page, and there is now a link to “Elections” on the left hand side navigation.

In addition to the Elections section on Google News, a “Follow the Candidates” Google Gadget is available that you can place on your site to pull content from Google News, Video, Maps, and Blogs.

Here is a screen capture:

Yahoo News also has an Elections section for news on your favorite candidates. Incorporated in Yahoo News are news articles, videos, Yahoo Answers, Flickr photos, and much more.
