I recentl read a great article over at E-consultancy on how to get your website on Google News.

“First of all you need to make a request to have Google News index your content, but there are other requirements. So what else is Google looking for?

Technical requirements

These technical requirements need to be met for Google to consider your site for inclusion:

• Pages that display the full text of news articles need to have unique URLs so that the Google crawler is able to index it. URLs with more than one article cannot be included on Google News.
• The URL for each article must contain a unique number consisting of at least three digits, and should not resemble a date. Aim for more than six digits to be on the safe side.
• Google News cannot index sites for which the main page URL contains a date, as these dates often change regularly so the crawler cannot identify the most recent version.”
