@binayjha (2509) Where should I need to update the News Article Schema? Only on Home Page or every page of news article?
The News Article Schema should be updated on every news article pages.
Thank you so much sir for your quick response.
One more last question, is any difference between News Article Schema & Article Schema?
Article schema covers news articles too but if you are defining your article as news then NewsArticle schema should be used. For more,

Thank you so much @binayjha sir.
To get listed in Google News, your website must meet specific criteria including: original reporting, regular updates, credibility, and overall content quality. Apply for inclusion in Google News using the News Publisher Center and make sure your site is optimized with accurate headlines, meta tags, and structured data. Adhere to Google's content policies and guidelines to maintain your status in Google News.
I have more the 1000 pages in website. So, do I need to create the news sitemap in groups? If yes, then which url should I update into the search console & into the robots.txt file?
@binayjha sir, Can you please share your inputs with me on the above line?
In 1 news sitemap you can use all 1000 URLs, no need of multiple sitemaps for this large number of URLs. In robots.txt file you just need to allow the news bot to crawl. Please check the URL provided for more details.
Thank you @binayjha sir.
