Consider Apple news

I have an ideological issue with apple news because it centralizes and standardizes news articles. Readers become apple news readers instead of Ubyssey readers. Additionally it is somewhat costly to implement and maintain. Instead of just giving an rss feed (like we already have), we would have to send requests to apple's servers and format our articles in json in a way that is only useful to apple news. I'm also not sure if we make much money through this because we are extremely local. How many ubc students and faculty have apple new subscriptions? Are there individuals in that group who would read the Ubyssey from apple news but not our website? We can experiment with this in the summer. If it makes a considerable amount of money we can continue supporting it. If not, then we should end support as the maintenance would be costly.
