This Google patent describes a system and method for improving the ranking of news articles in search results based on the quality of their sources. The system evaluates news sources using multiple quality metrics, assigns them quality scores (source ranks), and uses these scores to adjust the ranking of news articles from those sources in search results. This helps ensure that articles from higher-quality news sources appear higher in search rankings compared to articles on the same topic from lower-quality sources.
