Google News : How to get top placement

[cheesy snacks]

Hi guys I have a few sites in google news but my articles are regularly outranked by other sites.

Im just looking for some basic information about how I can get my articles outranking my competitors (only in google news)

Im thinking it would be
Number of Articles published each day
Stronger Authorship profiles.
Social Media signals.

Would it be possible to anyone to give me any clues to improve my google news ranking?

Or any excellent articles to read?

Thanks!

There are many different factors. Unfortunately several of the news ranking factors that Google has patented are not easy to influence like syndication reach. Here is what I would start to focus on:

-Write original material
-Make sure the content is professionally written
-Write fresh content, being first matters
-Get others to refer to your article
