Magazines available in the Apple News+ offer

In addition to magazines, News+ will offer access to articles from the LA Times and the Wall Street Journal as well as specialized digital offerings like theSkimm. Apple promises an on-device article recommendation system and the absence of audience tracking or advertising markers to protect user privacy. This means that Apple News+ partner publishers will have little chile mobile database or no information about their audiences and will therefore be at the mercy of Apple's algorithms and "curators." No wonder some publishers like the New York Times have called for a "boycott" of the platform to avoid being disintermediated.
Another black mark for publishers. Apple has brought back into fashion the concept of interactive content (e.g. animated covers or infographics) for magazines distributed by News+. This will require them to make additional efforts to create specific content – like the late Newsstand – but this time they will be directly compensated by Apple for their efforts.
