I have no problems with the information provided by ft.com but they only allow you to view one story per month with out paying for a subscription. With all the news sources available I don't need their stories that bad. I used -source:financial_times
It works with the ‘-’ to remove the source or without the ‘-’ to only include the given source and exclude all others (ie. source:financial_times will give you only news from ft.com).

Like: London -site:dailymail.co.uk If you only put in "-site:dailymail.co.uk" it won't work. You need a search term too. Hope that helps! Hi Dan,

Did you put in a search term as well? Like:

London -site:dailymail.co.uk

If you only put in “-site:dailymail.co.uk” it won’t work. You need a search term too.

Hope that helps!

I can specify a site to include (e.g. site:guardian.co.uk), but i can't specify a site to exclude (e.g. -site:dailymail.co.uk). Google News just returns "Your search - -site:dailymail.co.uk - did not match any documents." Any ideas how I can get this to work? I couldn’t get this to work.
