Apple News not working on Mac

Why is the today section on apple news not loading on my mac? Is there a fix in the works, I see others with the same question. I have tried reseting everything and restarting and nothing works. All other sections work but I use the Today section most.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

Hey FXG451,


We see that the 'Today' section from your News app isn't loading, and we'd like to help!


Let's try booting your Mac into safe mode and see if it makes a difference: How to use safe mode on your Mac


Also, please create a new user account on your Mac to see if you can see the 'Today' section on the News app: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac


These steps can help us determine if the issue is user related or system wide.


Have a great day!

I have had the same problem since updating to Big Sur. I have a News+ subscription but the 'today' page and all the magazine subscriptions will not load. All I see is a 'loading' spinning icon.

I followed the instructions and booted into 'safe mode' and the app loads normally showing all magazines and today stories.

However as soon as I revert to normal log-in the 'loading' problem returns.

Is there a way to diagnose why it will operate correctly in safe mode but not when loaded up normally?

Thanks
