How to Sort 'My News'
Okay, so you have added your favorite news sources to your My News page. You're saving more time than ever, and you're keeping up on all of the latest headlines. Life is good. But what if you want to see a timeline listing of recent headlines from favorite sources, or you only want to see a specific type of news posted a few days ago?
That big grey bar above your sources on the My News page can solve your problem. This bar allows you to switch your source view to a timeline, filter your news by topic, or see as far back as five days. It can be overwhelming, but don't worry-- that's what I'm here for.
Let's walk through the components of the grey bar to better understand how it can help you find articles of interest.
- The 'View Headlines' toggle. The default view on your My News page sorts the headlines by publisher. This is also the default view for all pages on the site. If you select "By Time," you will see a "feed" view of your headlines displayed in order of recency. This is a great way to see the absolute latest headlines quickly.
- This is your news filter. The default view displays all of your news sources, while you can select filters for sports, politics, press releases, or national news to display only those.
- The date select. Here you can choose to see single-day headlines for as far back as five days.
Well, that's the grey bar. The mysteries have been unlocked. Next time you're perusing your My News page, give it a try, and tell us what you think!

How to Personalize with 'MyNews'
What is 'MyNews?'
'MyNews' allows you to get the most out of your StateNewslines experience by providing a custom page that displays only the news sources you want to see. You can find the MyNews tab over on the far left side of your state's site (it's the only tab with the yellow font color). If you're a registered user, you've probably even been on the page before-- it's where we take you when you first log in.
Behold the mighty MyNews tab!
So you may be asking "what's the big deal with MyNews?" or "why should I care, I just want the news!" Well, having every state news source on a single page is pretty awesome, but let's say you just want to follow 5 to 10 sources, and they are all far apart on the page. This is where MyNews comes in.
Add or Remove Sources From Anywhere
As you browse around your StateNewslines page, you'll notice that each source has a green plus icon beside it. Clicking that icon will then mark that source as a favorite, and it will now appear on your MyNews page. You can put one or two sources on your MyNews page, or you can put thirty or more. It's all up to you.
Add or remove sources with the plus icon.
Tired of seeing a source on your MyNews page? Then just click that green plus icon again and it will no longer appear on your customized page. It's quick and easy to add or subtract sources from your MyNews page.
A populated MyNews page is a happy MyNews page.
Best of all, the MyNews page isn't just restricted to the news in your state. Visit the page for any state, log in, and you'll be able to add those sources to your MyNews page as well. If you wish to do so, you can assemble a MyNews page with headlines from publications across the entire country!
Summary of key points (aka, the short version):
- "MyNews" is your customized news page
- Add or remove sources to your MyNews page by clicking the green plus icon beside source names
- See just your preferred news sources, be happy
- Come back to "MyNews" daily, stay current, save time
One final note-- you must be registered and logged in to use the MyNews feature. If we don't know who you are, then we can't keep track of what news sources you want to see! Remember, registration is quick and free.
Now get out there and read YOUR news!
