Apple introduced the News Partner Program, which expands its work with and support for journalism while ensuring that its customers maintain access to trusted news and information.
The program also supports publishers’ financial stability, efforts to further media literacy, diversity in news coverage and newsrooms, and advertising.
Publishers will keep 100 percent of the revenue from advertising they sell within Apple News.
The program is designed for subscription news publications that provide their content to Apple News in Apple News Format (ANF).
To support publishers who optimize more of their content in ANF, Apple News is offering a 15 percent commission rate on qualifying in-app purchase subscriptions.
Participants must maintain a robust Apple News channel in the US, the UK, Canada, and Australia and publish all content to that channel in ANF.
Publishers based outside those regions and who do not publish in ANF must share content via an RSS feed.
