    Hello timbloke,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 

    I understand from your post that you would like to mute unwanted publications. I know how important it is for you to customize the news articles you want to see. Use the steps below to mute a story or channel you no longer wish to see: 

    Use News on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    Dislike, mute, or report a story

    Don't want to see certain types of stories in your For You feed? You can mark stories that you dislike, mute channels that they appear in, and report stories. Swipe right over the story or tap  , then tap your choice:

    • Tap Dislike to stop seeing similar stories in your For You feed.
    • Tap Mute Channel to prevent a channel’s stories from appearing in For You.
    • Tap Report to report a concern with a story.

    Your For You feed may not refresh immediately when you dislike a story or mute a channel.

    Best Regards.
