Search Engine Journal contributor Roger Montti has published an article explaining Google’s updated Article Structured Data Guidelines.

He says, “Google updated its Article structured data guidelines to reflect that they dropped the AMP requirement and changed the image guidelines for Top Stories eligibility.

Three changes to the guidelines make it clear that eligibility for the top stories section that can dominate the top of the search results became accessible for more publishers.

Why Top Stories is Important

Top stories is a way for Google to feature fresh news content in the search results.

Searches on topics that are trending in the news will generate the top stories section, which surfaces at the top of the search results in sizes that can dominate the screen on mobile and desktop searches.”
