News on "Swipe Right" Page

When I swipe right from the iPhone home screen, a screen appears that shows recent contacts, recent apps and a few news stories. How is the news content determined? Is there any way to modify the selection, so that I get news stories that I'm more interested in?

I sometimes use the Apple News app, and at first I thought the "swipe right" news was based on my Apple News app selection. But it's not. The news sources that I have selected in the Apple News app are completely different from the sources that appear in the "swipe right" news listings.

Thx

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

I believe the news articles are based on the "top stories" at the time in Apple News. If you were to start typing something, then it should suggest articles that begin with those characters. They would either be stories you've read recently, or stories in your feed.

The behavior of what kind of news appears in Spotlight cannot be changed.

Thank you stevejobsfan. All of my selections in the Apple News app are financial, science and technology news. But most of the stories on the "swipe right" screen are sports news. Oh well ...
