[embedded post] X: Rachel Janfaza / @racheljanfaza : Interesting read. In listening sessions with young people, I always ask them where they get their news. The number who tell me they get it “from Apple News” continues to rise... @jeremyreesnz : The news media has tried web, mobile, social media, aggregators, Google....why not Apple+? https://www.semafor.com/... Eric Koch / @ericdkoch : Anecdotally- I open a lot of push alerts from Apple News. @maxwelltani onto something here. Michael Roston / @michaelroston : had no idea publishers were getting paid to make specific content for Apple News https://www.semafor.com/... @journalistslike : I subscribe to 9+ papers. Get news alerts from 20+ news outlets. I currently have a free 3 month trial to Apple News. Have never opened it Michael S. Derby / @michaelsderby : Speaking purely on the subscriber side Apple News+ is a really good value and the curation of news is generally pretty solid. Would like op-ed stuff out of the news feed, but that's not a big thing. Ben Dreyfuss / @bendreyfuss : Everyone makes fun of me for tweeting Apple News links all the time but you lot are the weirdos! Apple News is great! America loves Apple News! Thomas Baekdal / @baekdal : Publishers simply never learn... (also, Apple News+ is not ‘direct’ revenue) Ben Smith / @semaforben : Big @maxwelltani story on a huge, unnoticed story in media: The rise and rise of Apple News https://www.semafor.com/... Nick Field / @nick_field90 : Similar to the movie and TV streaming fight, where everyone's fighting to be the new cable that controls access to all the other sites. Apple's trying to be the one-stop spot for movies, news, TV, music, podcasts, practically everything https://twitter.com/... Alex Johnson / @malexjohnson : The real genius at Apple is whoever has managed to convince publishers over and over and over again that Apple News is the savior. Walter Olson / @walterolson : I had been ignoring Apple News but it seems it's worth a look, if only as a means of single-pay aggregated access to the regional press. LinkedIn: Hanna Evron : Celebrating 8 years on Apple News this week, what an incredible ride it's been. — https://lnkd.in/... See also Mediagazer
