How can I remove “covid-19” and “racial justice” from my Apple news feed? Why don’t I see a single article on China or Hong Kong on my news feed on 7/7/2020? Is that not important news?

I asked a similar question about the removing the pinned articles for a child's device and there doesn't appear to be a way to do it. Even if you block the topics both will still show up pinned on iPad and iPhone.

Maybe if enough people give feedback they will allow you to edit the pins: https://www.apple.com/feedback/apple-news.html

You need to do some research into this. You are responsible for for curating your own feed of news. What you are seeing are top stories.

Rather than explaining this all here, try this:

As an adult you can decide not to tap on a banner. But on a kids device using parental controls you can limit articles to only subscribed sources however those are still fully accessible. This really limits the use of News+ with all it's kids magazines if you can't hide adult content.

News+ sub cancelled. App deleted. Decisions have consequences. My money walks.

I checked today and Apple finally....FINALLY...removed the Racial Justice feed. To say it was insulting is an understatement. Hope they don’t push more virtue signaling like this again. If Apple wants Racial Justice they can do more effective and direct things like hire more minorities and perhaps discontinue using what basically amounts to slave labor in China to build their products. If they want to save the climate, they might also considering extending the life cycle of their products. How many 2 year old iPhones are in a landfill I wonder? Bottom line is for one of the largest and most profitable companies in the world to think they can sit back and do little more than pinning a feed with a few articles about racial inequality for the masses to read is beyond hypocritical. It’s a relief to see that the pinned topic is finally deleted. Thank you Apple.

You need to do some research into this. COVID, Election, and Racial Justice are all pinned to the top. No way to remove or block.

Same here. Apple imposing its political commitments on its customers is another example of Apple’s hubris. That is not your place, Apple. Screw you. Unsubscribing.

I want this feed off my Phone!

Do you support Christopher Columbus statues being removed? What about Robert E Lee statues? Yes? Hmmm. Well as an adult you could have just ignored them. See the point here?

But you also don't have to tap on those banners.

Preventing your children from finding out things that are going on in the world, from finding out that different people have different views of how things are going is probably a lost cause. But, if you can't trust your children to abide by your wishes, perhaps it's time to subscribe to paper versions of a couple of appropriate magazines. It would probably be a lot cheaper than Apple News+ and everyone loves getting mail.

Sadly, not using or deleting the News app is the only solution Apple provides. Have to ask ourselves why. But maybe Apple will begin to listen to our voices.

I’m pretty sure you’re the one needing to do your research. You cannot remove the COVID-19 or Racial Justice junk.

I'm out. I will not have what big tech considers news force fed to me. Deleting the News App and no more Apple purchases.
