Just like the articles included in Google News, posts are identified and displayed by a computer algorithm that crawls Google+ for timely and interesting content. Alongside the day's top headlines, you'll be able to see content and commentary from leading newsmakers as well as people in your Google+ circles.

What kind of Google+ posts to expect
Google News will include Google+ posts from the whole range of Google+ users. You should expect to see posts from journalists and news organizations as well as people in your circles where available. If you're not seeing a journalist or news organization on the Google News homepage, we recommend that you add them to your circle 
though this won't guarantee their content will appear. Currently, posts will only appear in some editions of Google News.
