Special Google News Sitemap

[Thomas-L-Zaleo]

Feature request

Summary

Is there a way to add a special google news Sitemap which follows the google guidelines?

https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/sitemaps/news-sitemap

Why is it needed?

In addition to a standard sitemap, we would like to use an adapted version for Google News. The requirements for this sitemap are slightly different.

Suggested solution(s)

Ability to add a own sitemap only for google news needs.

We need to do some research as to whether this is something the plugin could benefit from.
If anybody else want's/needs this feature please leave a comment/emoji on this issue for visibility.

hi, we have a similar requirement but for videos https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/sitemaps/video-sitemaps

[boazpoolman]

@javobal Could you create a seperate issue for Video sitemaps?

Image sitemaps are also not implemented yet.
That could use a dedicated issue as wel.

We'd love this feature as well.
