The New York Times pulls out of Apple's news app.
Apple had touted its news app as a way to bolster the struggling news industry, but the Times said the relationship failed to satisfy its needs, including its desire to have direct access to its readers and their data.
“Core to a healthy model between The Times and the platforms is a direct path for sending those readers back into our environments, where we control the presentation of our report, the relationships with our readers and the nature of our business rules,” Meredith Kopit Levien, the Times' chief operating officer, wrote in a memo to employees.
"We are also committed to supporting quality journalism through the proven business models of advertising, subscriptions, and commerce." The Times is the first major news media company to sever ties with Apple, but it is unclear if other publications that have increasingly come to rely on subscriptions and direct-to-consumer relationships will follow suit.
