Overview
- CNN removed its content from Apple News over the weekend when its content-sharing agreement expired.
- The companies are negotiating a new deal that could restore CNN stories, and neither has commented publicly on the talks.
- The move follows CNN’s push for direct monetization with new paid tiers, including $29.99 per year for articles and $69.99 per year for All Access.
- CNN had been a prominent Apple News partner since 2015, supplying interactive, multimedia feature stories.
- Apple’s paid News+ tier recently added The Washington Post, joining The Wall Street Journal as marquee publishers available to subscribers.
