Is my site ready for Google News?

    I am operating a Science News Website that I would like to submit. I want to ask the experts here whether it is fit enough to enter Google News?

    I also want to ask where to check for the validity of a Google News Sitemap. My sitemap is in RSS format currently. See here.

    wow! nice site.. looks good to me :)

    However, as I don't have so much competence with Google News, I would listen to some of the other community members first :)

    No once can confirm the eligibility of your website to become a google news publisher, only google can tell that. Just give a try by applying to google news and let see if you're lucky. And while coming to the sitemap validation, just submit it to the google webmaster tools. If there are any errors or problem with your sitemap, you can see a message describing the problem or error which was occurred during the sitemap validation process.
