Article selection
In March 2005 attention was called to Google's inclusion of the white supremacist 'National Vanguard' magazine, and the resulting controversy forced Google News to remove the site from its service. White supremacy is a racist ideology based on the assertion that White people are superior to other racial groups. In another case, Google was criticized for not including sources which are censored in China. On September 27, 2004, on the official Google Blog, the Google Team wrote: "For users inside the People's Republic of China, we have chosen not to include sources that are inaccessible from within that country. " Google now places specific IP Addresses from China on a blacklist and prevents them from being indexed.

A cease and desist (also called C & D) is an order or request to halt an activity or else face legal action Google now hosts Agence France-Presse news, as well as the Associated Press, Press Association and the Canadian Press.

Sources for news
As a news aggregator site, Google uses its own software to determine which stories to show from the online news sources it watches. Human editorial input does come into the system, however, in choosing exactly which sources Google News will pick from. This is where some of the controversy over Google News originates, when some news sources are included when visitors feel they don't deserve it, and when other news sources are excluded when visitors feel they ought to be included. For examples, see the above mentions of Indymedia, or National Vanguard.
The actual list of sources is not known outside of Google, but such a list would go far in helping to judge how well Google News works toward its purpose of helping make the world's information accessible. The stated information from Google is that it watches more than 4,500 English-language news sites. In the absence of a list, many independent sites have come up with their own ways of determining what news sources Google picks from.
Example list of sources, as of May 2007
The site Google News Report monitors the Google News homepage, and for May 2007, published this list of the top 27 sites most-often referenced by Google News:
