Another option is to use the Advanced Google News Search that includes these
options:
~ Find results-all words, exact phrase, at least one word, without the word(s).
~ Sort by relevance or date.
~ Location by country or state.
~ Occurrences of terms-anywhere or in headline, body, or uri of article.
~ Date-anytime, last hour, last day, past week, past month, or range of dates
within past month.
~ Source by simple name, e.g., CNN, New York Times.
The source option in advanced search is an improvement over having to use the
source: syntax that required such entries as [source:united_pressjnternational].

Business and another for France in general. Google News also permits adding a
custom section in which you enter keywords (all must be in the story for it to appear
in your section, so choose carefully). You can even use the "Advanced" option under
custom section to limit your keyword search to a specific topic, e.g., "internet
security" only in the Sci/Tech section. You can change the language of the stories in
your custom section by clicking on "Advanced" and selecting a language in the
pulldown menu. While these new customization options may sound a little
, complicated, they are fairly intuitive, and Google News is very forgiving. If you make
a mess of your customization, there is an option to "Reset page to default" link to
return your page to its default settings (i.e., the standard version without any
