If you own a Google Home device, you can now get daily news updates on it from the IndyStar.

Just as we've been doing on Amazon Alexa Flash Briefings since January, IndyStar will now deliver the most important news stories of every day to your Google Home or Google Home Mini device.

Every day, IndyStar will broadcast four stories on your device. Two will be local news stories, one will be a local sports story and the fourth, a national story. These are hand-picked by IndyStar staffers every night to ensure that the stories you care about are broadcasted.

Here's how to get IndyStar updates on your device: Open the settings of your Google Home app and tap "More Settings." Then, under "Services," tap "News." Under this tab, you'll find an option for "Add news sources." Then find IndyStar and tap the checkmark to add it.

Then finally, just ask: "Hey Google, play the latest news from the IndyStar.” It's that easy! If you have an Amazon Alexa-capable device, and are interested in getting IndyStar Flash Briefings, click here to learn how to install them. 

Like other easy ways to get our news? Stay in the know by liking us on Facebook, following us on Twitter @indystar and by signing up for our email newsletters, which cover sports, politics, food and more. We also recently launched a hand-curated email newsletter called The IndianapoLIST, giving you the best things to do in and around the Circle City every week. Click here to subscribe to that newsletter.

We hope you enjoy our new service!
