A topic follows a subject instead of a publisher. Every new article that mentions it, from any outlet, arrives in your feed.

Add a topic

Either:

  • Open Add source, type the words, and tap Track ”…” on the internet, or
  • Open Discover, find Special feeds, tap Google News (Follow a topic), type the words and tap Preview and add.

Topics appear in your sources list labelled Keyword. They count toward the free plan’s 5 sources like any other source.

Tips

  • Be specific. chip exports finds far more useful coverage than chips.
  • One subject per topic. Follow Formula 1 and climate as two topics, so you can put them in different folders.
  • Pair it with rules. A topic can be noisy. A Mute rule on a word you don’t want, like opinion, keeps it clean.

Topic results come from Google News search. Hushread opens the original article, not a Google redirect.
