The New York Times Ends Apple News Partnership and Pulls All Articles

[alexandr]

There is no such thing as “trustworthy journalism” anymore

hence the "blech"

NYT content is now 100% fake news on political topics!

Except I’d wager that every article they published 6 months ago that you thought was fake at the time has now not only been proven true, but has been *admitted* to be true by whoever first said it was fake.

Maybe Apple should hire their own journalists. There’s room in the market at the moment for a nonpartisan media outlet.

They have. The same ones who are now forcing 24/7 coverage and persistent categories that can’t be deleted like election news, covid news and as of last week “racial justice” news.

Good. They won’t be missed by me anyway.

I ended my “partnership“ with Apple News long before the NYT. 😬

I always found the quality of the NYT articles poor

Given some of the recent decisions by the NYT I won’t miss them

What news sources do you rely on? Can you list three or four and why you like them?

Also... how many Pulitzer Prize awards in Journalism have they won? For reference, the New York Times has won 130 over the years.

Isn't The New York Times one of the leaders in propagating Fake News?

Good riddance, and I can't imagine too many people will want to pay to read biased opinions & propaganda.

How about starting some real journalism, and chasing the truth, the stories that the Main Stream Media refuse to publish?
That is how you will stand out from the crowd and build your readership, but that seems to be a something from a bygone era
where the news was actually news.

I like real journalism. Can you list a half dozen stories that have chased the truth, along with the name of the news organization, so I can get an idea of what you're talking about. Did any of theses stories based on real journalism win any Pulitzer Prize awards in Journalism?

This might be a reason to try news+ again 🙃

Interesting. Look at how many posts the average “good the ny times is fake news!” commenters on here have.

After November, all these rags will be defunct. Sued into oblivion for all their fake journalism, and half of the "journalists" will be seeing criminal indictments for knowlingly promoting treason and sedition.

Get your NYT's and WaPo's while you can. You've got about 6 months left.

Wow. Talk about fake news....That’s quite the fantasy there! 😂 The papers you mention are going to outlive us all.

Don't we all just copy paste the article headline of a paid article into google, and then find the full text for free? Never not worked, not even true paid protected content.

I like it that they (publishers) DON'T have a direct relationship will me. Besides who knows what they do with our data, too many of them require that we agree to auto-renew our subscriptions, and we have to call to cancel. That phone conversation to cancel is not easy. Then they persistently send you numerous subscription offers after you cancel. Apple may take 30% from publishers, but I think for consumers it's a better experience. Easy to cancel any type of subscription bought through Apple.

OMG, Luba, those phone calls to cancel are brutal. If you‘re lucky enough to find the right phone number, which is a standard, and very dastardly, trick.

No loss. They aren't what they were twenty years ago.

Good riddance. Apple News needs help with its interface, but getting rid of NY Times helps.

Good riddance. Apple News needs help with its interface, but getting rid of NY Times helps.

It helps in reducing quality and reputable news content, I’ll give you that.

Not entirely sure that was Apple’s goal, though.
