NewsToday2

[Buggs]

I was going through Activity Monitor and noticed a few process that do not look familiar. One being Newstoday2 and the other is NewsTag. Does anyone know what this is?

These look like they come from the News widgets:

/System/Applications/News.app/Contents/PlugIns/NewsToday2.appex/Contents/MacOS/NewsToday2
/System/Applications/News.app/Contents/PlugIns/NewsTag.appex/Contents/MacOS/NewsTag

It looks like the system might set these up, even if you don't currently have the widget enabled, since the previews in the widget library include live updated data.
