What you are seeing is pretty normal for news content. Google will often surface fresh posts quickly and then let them slide once the initial demand drops. That in no way means you are doing anything wrong. If you want rankings that last longer, mix in some evergreen pieces alongside the daily news. Guides, explainers, and “what this means for” type posts tend to hold traffic after the news cycle fades.
For News specifically, you can apply through Google Publisher Center. No guarantee, but it is part of the path to getting content in Google News. For now though, keep the cadence you have, build links where you can, and let the site’s authority grow. Over time that helps your posts stick longer.
