You can submit news articles via a news sitemap file created using the sitemap protocol. Google adheres to the Sitemap 0.9 protocol as defined by sitemaps.org and therefore sitemap files created using Google's Sitemap 0.9 protocol are compatible with other search engines that use the sitemaps.org standards.
The Google News sitemap helps you control the content that Google News crawls and makes it faster for your articles to be included in Google News search results. You are welcome to submit your sitemap file in your Webmaster Tools account before submitting your site for inclusion in Google News. However, only sitemap files that link to an approved site without any error will be crawled by Google News.
