Is it safe to use Microformats and Schema.org on one page?

[hakhan201]

I'm running a news blog and I'm using schema.org/NewsArticle. I would like to know if I should add microformats on the article page too or just use the schema? If I add both, will it effect my sites SEO/ranking?

Thank you

I think the best for you is to test with the Google Structured Data Testing Tool:

If the tool can see all the structured data, it's ok!

Thank you for your answer. When I use the structured data, it shows everything fine. But when Google Index a news article, it takes 24 hours for it to show up in Google Web Search "In the news" list. How can I trigger it to show up directly? Example: As soon as a news article gets published, it is shown "In the news" on Google Web search. Here is an example of what I mean to say http://imgur.com/1qoArRs

Note: My site has been on Google News since 2012, and I been publishing unique content. The site already has do-follow backlinks from big sites too.

I know this might not be exactly related to the topic, but I hope you don't mind answering

Thank you

Without URL it will be hard to help you
You should create e special sitemap for Google News , as explain here :

URL is http://www.Tapscape.com

The website already had a Google News sitemap http://www.tapscape.com/news-sitemap.xml

Thank you

OK Thanks.

Perhaps it's the length of your article ? too short ? It's difficult to know why your are not included in Google News, but in fact you have done all the things to be there.

Thanks Nicolas for checking,

I have published mixed articles (short and long) , both don't appear "In the news" list. I have created a new question post here https://moz.com/community/q/my-news-site-not-showing-in-in-the-news-list-on-google-web-search

Lets see what others say ...

Just to jump off what Nicolas has said - are you all set up at Google News Publisher Center? This is an important part of being promptly featured in Google News.
