Read Apple News in News on Mac
If you’re an Apple News subscriber, the News Library in Apple News on your Mac makes it easy to find and read magazines, newspapers, and other publications available in the Apple News catalog. When you follow an Apple News magazine or newspaper, it’s added to the sidebar for easy access.
You must be signed in to the App Store on your Mac to read Apple News stories and issues.
