We have added the News modern web part to our modern page, and we chose the "Recommended for Current user" as the News Source, as follow:-
But what are the criteria that make a News page recommended for the current user? any advice?

@john john Here is what Microsoft says about recommended for the current user: posts for the current user from people the user works with; managers in the chain of people the user works with, mapped against the user's own chain of management and connections; the user's top 20 followed sites; and the user's frequently visited sites. See: Use the News web part on a SharePoint page (microsoft.com)

@Susan Hanleythanks a lot for your very helpful reply.. i were reading some old posts which mentioned that recommended sites will only show sites that you follow... but seems now the criteria have been expanded..
My question now is:- What does "people the user works with" exactly mean? do u have any idea?

@Susan Hanleyok thanks.. so let say i am inside the Finance Dept and another user is inside the HR dept.. and we are working on a project together.. so we created a Teams site and worked on some documents together,,, we were editing the same document + we are inside the same Office 365 group... so does this mean that me and the other user work together? although inside the Organization chart we do not share any upper management ?

@Susan Hanleyyes i got your point which is valid,.. but this is the customer requirement..
Also can you advice what do you mean by the "news feed in the app bar"? maybe this will be sufficient to me also? thanks
