What not to expect from Publisher Center

Google News Publisher Center isn't an authoring or a content management system (CMS). Google News Publisher Center also isn’t a tool to produce online websites optimized for desktop web browsers.

When you create a section in Publisher Center, it shouldn't interfere with your site’s search engine rank. Google News doesn't host any publisher content on the open web.

Google automatically considers any content published on the web for inclusion in Google News. There’s no need to apply. However, content is only eligible if it complies with our overall requirements and content policies.
