Here is my question:

I have my site google news approved for almost 1 year, but seems my post never been indexed in the Google news searching result

I have checked in the publish center, seems all posts been indexed, and also my pulication page preview works good!

but there is no result when I search with keywords, titles, even with my site name in the Google news channel...

I'm confused, anyone please, know how to solve this problem ?

These approvals are easy to get

All you need in organic traffic

Once you get that you will see many articles in news section
 
I would advise looking for any crawling related issues you can resolve by starting in your Google Search Console.

And use the url inspector tool in the Search Console to test a few of the URLs that Google isn't including.
 
If your website was approved after 2019 it is a "new" Google News Site and not one of the older, legacy-approved websites. This new approval alone will never guarantee that a single article of yours will ever appear on the Google News platform. I have hundreds of older and newer websites - the older legacy pre-2019 websites get picked up by GNews consistently. The newer ones, not so much. Think off your approval and publisher center account as a trust signal only at this point. Now it's up to you to produce high-quality, unique, and news worthy content for best results.

Do you accept sports news submissions? If so, cost?
 
Had a similar issue before. Just because you're approved for Google News doesn’t mean your content will automatically show up in News search. Validating your structured data, especially Article schema, in Google’s Rich Results Test can help catch any hidden issues. Posting frequency also plays a role.

The Approval is getting very easily, but the result are takes some time, so you should improve content quality and check for any manual actions in Google Search Console.
