Our french blog has been accepted by Google News France
So I tried the command site:domain.com on Google news search, but it did not work.

Indeed, Google News uses a different command.

1) How many web pages of your site are listed on Google News?
To know how many web pages of your site (or your competitors sites) are listed on Google News use the following command:
source:site -gggg
site is the name of the source on Google News (This name is given by Google News to a news source)
Example:
For Search Engine Watch: http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ne...ne_watch+-gggg

Remarks:

* If the source name on Google News contains several words use _ to separate words.

* Similar command on Google search is site:your-domain-name.com
Example:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...nginewatch.com


2) How many web pages of your site that contain a word or an expression are listed on Google News?
To know how many web pages of your site that contain a word are listed on Google News use the following command:
source:site keyword
Example:
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&lr...e_watch+google

* You can also use Google news advanced search box

* Similar command on Google search is site:domainname.com word
Example:
