Last week we reported that there was a bug with Google News submissions where Google was not showing when a site was rejected or not accepted into Google News after it was submitted for inclusion. That bug has now been fixed.
Stacie Chan from the Google News team said in the updated Google News Help thread:
We've updated our inclusion process and you should now see "Not Accepted" if your application wasn't accepted into Google News.You'll be able to "Request Inclusion in Google News" once 60 days have passed and you are able to apply again.
So going forward, you should now see your acceptance or rejection status in the Google News publisher dashboard.
