Apple News will now offer its local news experience in three additional cities in the US: Charlotte, Miami, and Washington, D.C.
Each experience is curated by Apple News editors and features coverage of topics that are important to local communities, from restaurant openings and real estate trends to big policy decisions. Local news offerings in Apple News provide readers with access to top publications, including Axios Charlotte, the Charlotte Observer, Eater Miami, the Miami Herald, DCist, Washingtonian, the Washington Post, and more.
“At Apple News, we know that access to trusted local news is critical for communities, and an important resource for a national audience as well,” Lauren Kern, editor-in-chief of Apple News, said in a press release. “We are committed to working with local publishers across the country to support their journalism and offer our users local coverage in the cities and regions they care about.”
Apple News first introduced curated local news experiences for the Bay Area, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco in 2020, and earlier this year, added offerings for Sacramento, San Antonio, and San Diego. Apple News plans to expand its local news feature to additional cities and regions over time.
Every Thursday, Apple News editors curate a “Read Local” collection of the best stories that week from local publications, available to all News users right in the Today feed of the News app.
