 * Hi, from the Google search console I have these two errors on the Sitemap for
   Google News:
    “Invalid publication label” “Missing <publication> tag”
 * How can I solve it?
    Thanks for your plugin

 * Hi, have you been accepted into Google News? If not, please submit for inclusion
   via your Publisher Center [https://publishercenter.google.com/publications](https://publishercenter.google.com/publications)
 * Make sure to use the exact same name in your news sitemap settings as you used
   to submit as news source.
 * In the mean time, if you can share a link to your news sitemap, I can take a 
   look…

 * Hi, I was added to Google News years ago, and my site is still active in Google
   News.
    corriereromagna.it/sitemap-news.xml Here is my Google News sitemap, I 
   await your message. Thank you

 * OK, checked your news sitemap and the response is correct. The publication tag
   is there for all news items.
 * It might be that Google encountered a 404 page or a 500 response for some reason(
   too much traffic?) at one point. You can either wait for the error to disappear
   or you can remove and re-submit the news sitemap in Console. The last option 
   will probably not clear the error right away but should invite the search engine
   to revisit the sitemap sooner than normal.

 * Thanks for the assistance. I removed and added the News sitemap again. If I have
   problems I will let you know …
    Thank you
