GOOGLE News changed its article selection process in 2016 - where at that time, one had to apply to contribute any journalistic work. 

Google noted that they would now choose articles relevant to their product from anywhere in the world. 

To my complete surprise, I stumbled on one of my articles a few months later when scrolling through Google News on my iPhone.

Indeed, at first, it was so astonishing - that I thought someone else nationally known had authored the work.

Since that time, Google News has consistently carried anywhere from 30 - 100 of my finance journalist columns!
