How do I find the source of a news article in Apple News?

On my iPhone the source of an article is at the top of the screen after I open the article. Before opening the article the source is provide above the article title.

No one here would know anymore about how Apple choses or vets articles than they have publicly commented on.

Apple may have bought/contracted the articles from freelancers. Lots of people make money writing articles on spec. Both articles have an author listed. I'd suggest researching them. As your are a journalist, you're probably more qualified to do that than most people.

And because it's not from a source such as CNN, Reuters, AP, etc there is no way to know where it came from. Fake name, no source. Not news.

Again, the source may be Apple. Apple may have commissioned or purchased the articles from the authors or a service. And, for what it's worth, Apple didn't become a trusted brand through putting out news. NYT wouldn't immediately be a trusted computer maker if they started producing them tomorrow.

No, really not planning on doing that. But, thanks.

One of my friends just posted that yes, indeed, anyone can post content to Apple.com/news . Not sure about the account needed and so on. Is that your understanding?

No, I have no basis for making such an assumption.

nothing is really fact checkable beyond the big news outlets.

That is also an assumption that I don't have the facts to make.

Part of the deal with Apple news as it appears in iOS devices, is that all you need

do to start a trend and channel odd stuff you may be interested in (categorically)

is merely slip once or twice. Then those kinds of stories, no matter the source or

relevancy to your actual need or desire, will start appearing as one of your choices.

Only one of my devices has been used to see what Apple news is about. For me

the jury is still out; but I've not allowed other device to fully launch the News app.

I've not looked at their News via a browser. But have several sources bookmarked in

three or four computers; some local, regional, global. I hope most are neutral & factual.

Some trace back to a similar source no matter what the retail label, in main sites.

You could try a 'search' to see if any third party validates what you consider; however

most of these answers may simply be given consideration due recent activity, not fact.

Glad to see you posted a source that confirmed what I'd already seen

because the Apple News app in my iPhone SE (iOS 11.2) said it too.

Not to offend anyone, someone can seek one-sided news and it will be

provided; no matter what you tend to believe. I've not tried tested the

theory yet. ~ But if I can find enough alt-fact non-truth stories, I could

then see if the net is cast far enough out there to drag in 'climate denier'

and 'flat earth' articles of equal quality.

Just saying, I'd want to be sure such a selection wasn't actually voting

for that way of thinking; especially due to my previous book learning. 😉

Why seek to help others? The answers appear to be already solved. Empathy is a feat not many people ever can fully appreciate. Thanks for your help. I have my answer.

I really don't know what that means. I don't see how empathy enters into "Thank you for your information but I'm not planning on using it.". I'm glad you found the answer that makes you happy.
