Could someone from @TeamYouTube or @YTCreators explain who are considered authoritative news sources? This is a cornerstone according to @SusanWojcicki “raising authoritative voices” but what does that mean exactly?

Also if this is the case, why don’t independent news channels apply to be whitelisted? Or is it just hard to get whitelisted? I only see legacy media.

Its a reputational evaluation of the site (it cant just be a YT channel) Examples: ABC runs a YT channel and a News site, so with the "Authoritative Sources" change their YT channel shot up the sub count bc Google News AUTOMATICALLY puts them on top

DramaAlert had a website and YT channel, but Google News really wants the website to be the one evaluated for whitelisting. The channel is just seen as an extention of the site. Which is why indie news sources that ONLY use YT are not likely to be whitelisted Plus $ is a factor
