 * On Settings > Reading you can select one default genre but individual posts can
   have multiple genres assigned. See the Google News Genres meta box on any post
   edit page.
 * It works the same as with WP’s own default category. When a post does not get
   any gneres assigned, it will fall back in this single default genre.

 * Okay, but I cant assign multiple default genres, that was I trying to explain
   maybe I haven’t been specific on the “default” thing.

 * That’s correct. Just one default at this point.
 * I’ll consider this as a feature request then 🙂

 * Not working for individual posts to me. I can’t see any genre to choose.

 * [@all](https://wordpress.org/support/users/all/) multiple default genres is now
   possible
 * [@mpapad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mpapad/) please make sure the main
   Google News Sitemap option on Settings > Reading is activated, then make sure
   the post type you want to use is checked at “Include post types” in the new Google
   News Sitemap section. Then go back to edit a post of that type and look for a
   metabox called “Google News Genres” (normally at the bottom of the column on 
   the right) but you might need to open the “Screen Options” tab (top right) and
   see if “Google News Genres” is checked there.
