INTRODUCTION :

If your news organisation breaks a big story, or publishes an extraordinary work of journalism, you can indicate this by using the standout tag. When determining whether to use this tag for your own article, consider whether that article meets the following criteria:

Your article is an original source for the story.
Your organization invested significant resources in reporting or producing the article.
The article deserves special recognition.
You haven't used standout on your own articles more than seven times in the past calendar week.

The new tag, placed in the HTML header of articles, is visible only to automated systems and not to readers. Using the tag could result in Google placing a “Featured” marker label on the piece in News search results and on the Google News homepage. The tag will also factor into the Google News algorithm and help determine placement.

<head>
...
<link rel="standout"
href="http://www.example.com/breaking_exclusive_story_2314"/>
</head>
Or, you could use a meta tag:

<head>

...

<meta name="standout"
content="http://www.example.com/breaking_exclusive_story_2314"/>
</head>
