XML namespace
Google news sitemap extension
Publication name, language and publication date for news articles in a sitemap.
xmlns:news="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-news/0.9"News sitemaps are expected to contain only recent articles — the guidance is the last two days — which makes them the one sitemap type where a stale file is worse than no file.
The extension adds <news:news> inside each <url>, carrying the publication and its <news:publication_date>.
