Apple News has expanded its local news experience in three additional cities in the US: Charlotte, Miami, and Washington, D.C.

Each local news experience is curated by Apple News editors and features coverage of topics that are important to local communities, from restaurant openings and real estate trends to big policy decisions.

As per ANI, the local news offerings in Apple News will provide readers with access to top publications, including Axios Charlotte, the Charlotte Observer, Eater Miami, the Miami Herald, DCist, Washingtonian, the Washington Post, and more.

Talking about the initiative, Lauren Kern, editor-in-chief, Apple News, said, “At Apple News, we know that access to trusted local news is critical for communities, and an important resource for a national audience as well.”

“We are committed to working with local publishers across the country to support their journalism and offer our users local coverage in the cities and regions they care about,” Lauren added.

The local news offering in the Apple New app was first announced in 2020 for the Bay Area, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco.

Earlier this year, Apple expanded the local news feature to additional US cities, including Sacramento, San Antonio, and San Diego.
