“New York Times” announced the termination of cooperation with Apple News

According to foreign media The Verge, the New York Times announced that it will no longer publish articles in the Apple News app starting on Monday, local time, becoming one of the largest publishers to terminate cooperation with the Apple Publishing Platform. In a memo announcing this change, Meredith Kopit Levien, Chief Operating Officer of The New York Times Weekly, stated that the company hopes that “there is a direct way to send these readers back to our environment, where we control our reporting Presentation, relationship with readers, and the nature of our business rules.”

Although Apple is letting publishers (including the New York Times) sign its monthly News Plus subscription fee-$9.99 per month, it can access various magazines and newspapers (including The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, and New Yorker, Wired, etc.), but the free version of Apple News offers more types of news. Although the “New York Times” only provides some free articles to Apple News, its departure still makes it one of the largest publishers who have left Apple’s publishing platform to cooperate since the “Guardian”.

Apple News works differently than most other news aggregation services: the top-ranked articles are planned by a team of human reporters, not algorithms, and Apple has very strict requirements on which news sources are allowed to enter the app. Earlier this year, Apple CEO Tim Cook pointed out that Apple News has more than 125 million daily users, but the company has not yet announced how many users are paying for premium Apple News Plus services.

Apple said in a statement to the New York Times that “only a few pieces of news are provided to Apple News every day,” so for readers, the overall content should not change much.
