WSJ, Vox to join Apple’s paid subscription service


Apple has attracted The Wall Street Journal to its new paid subscription news service, according to two people familiar with the plans, The New York Times reported.
Apple also has a deal to bring Vox onto the service, Bloomberg reports.
The New York Times and The Washington Post have so far passed on the service, according to the paper.
Some publishers are rejecting the terms Apple is offering with the service, the paper says.
WSJ and Apple are set to announce their plans to work together Monday from Cupertino, California, site of Apple’s headquarters.
The service, nicknamed a “Netflix for news,” will provide a new paid section on the Apple News app with articles from hundreds of participating magazines and news outlets. A free section will remain on the app.
Apple is also expected to tout a new streaming service to go up against Netflix, Hulu and other services.
