Apple News Loses CNN

[MacRumors]

American multinational news company CNN has abruptly pulled its content from Apple News, Semafor reports.

CNN quietly removed its stories from Apple News over the weekend and there is no longer a feed from the network to subscribe to in the app. This effectively ends its distribution agreement with Apple while the two sides negotiate new terms. Discussions are apparently ongoing and CNN's content could return if a new deal is reached.

CNN recently launched a paid subscription service and began placing more of its reporting behind a paywall. The network now offers a $29.99-per-year articles-only tier and a $69.99-per-year "All Access" plan that combines written stories with its streaming service.

Major news firms including People and Condé Nast brands have leaned into Apple News, but other media companies have been cautious about adopting the platform since its debut. CNN was present from the launch of the app in 2015.

Lol there's no way in HELL I'm paying for CNN's written articles. I miss the CNN of yore, but they're trippin' if they think people are going to pay this much for their content.

 

[CharlesShaw]

Yeah, sorry about that everyone. I stopped following it a while back and was only thinking of myself.

 

[sonic84]

Does CNN still provide news?

 

[xeux]

CNN is garbage

 

[xARx2]

man, CNN. their brand used to mean something, I’d check it daily for years. not in the last ten, though.

 

[turbineseaplane]

Maybe we should just "lose" Apple News?

CNN is garbage

CNN was great.. in the days before there was a permanent news ticker scrolling across the bottom of the screen. I think that was prior to 9/11.

I'll just stick to not using Apple News, CNN or not.

So Apple News finally gets some improvement, even if it is still a pile of steaming dog turd.

Always preferred to get it via biztoc.com or even RSS.

[inlvnv]

Thank goodness!

 

[ikuragames]

Oh what a shame. Not.

 

[bluecoast]

What does Apple News even exist?

It’s not a high quality product. It ends up recommending practically every article it has. Its ads are even worse than the outbrain network and that’s saying something.

Did cnn finally go out of business?

 

[ProbablyDylan]

Apple news is so annoying to use. So many low-quality articles are locked behind the paywall - and even if you pay, there's still ads.

Unrelated, but this forum needs an eyeroll reaction.

 

[MRSugarD]

Oh no! Anyway...

 

[RickDEGH]

Good News (pun intended)

 

[jonnyb098]

Good riddance. They are putting almost everything behind a paywall because they are bleeding viewers, sponsors, etc.

 

[npmacuser5]

More ads on Apple News than news today.

 

[SwiftPioneer]

LMAO imagine paying for CNN 😂

 

[groove-agent]

It's going to be very difficult to keep track of all the subscriptions we now have to pay to live our daily lives.

 

[frenchcamp49er]

CNN still exists?

 

[bryanck]

I blocked CNN a while back anyway, so now there will be fewer black boxes on the home page.
