One of my sites has recently been included in Google News and I am seeing a spike in traffic. However, when I try to analyze the source of the traffic via referrals, Google News traffic number is tiny (news.google).

I am seeing increases in both organic and direct traffic channels as well as my queries and impressions in GWT. I am working with a 3 week sample so this is not a random event. Increases are steady.

Could some of the Google News traffic be placed under organic or direct in my GA reports.

If someone is coming from news.google.com/ you will see news.google.com / referral as a source / medium.

But when traffic is coming from www.google.com/?tbm=nws (google news in SERP) it's tagged as google / organic
