Apple wants major U.S.
newspapers in the U.S.
to add their content to Texture, the magazine distributor app Apple purchased
in spring, Recode reports.
Apple has
contacted The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post about
joining the app, according to people familiar with the effort, Recode reports.
An Apple rep declined to comment on the effort.
Texture
allows people to access as many stories as they like from a selection of
magazines for $10 a month. It’s not clear if the papers would be integrated
into the existing services or made into an additional service.
“But no
matter how Apple structures the proposal, it may be a hard sell for any of the
papers, which already have big subscription businesses of their own and would
be concerned about cannibalizing their own sales,” according to Recode.
