News Publisher for Apple News Format

Apple News Format editor
Built for Apple News Format, not generic web publishing.
Apple News Format gives publishers a rich canvas for articles and magazine-style stories. News Publisher keeps the work close to the format: article folders, article.json, components, layouts, styles, metadata, bundled media, and the source output that programmatic publishing systems need to produce.
Magazine-style Apple News layouts
Shape longform features, interviews, visual essays, explainers, recipes, culture reviews, and other ANF stories that need pace, hierarchy, and polish.
Reusable Apple News templates for CMS workflows
Turn headers, section treatments, article patterns, and magazine departments into editable templates that can guide CMS-driven Apple News output later, instead of copying old article.json files by hand.
Real article folders and bundled assets
Work with Apple News Format article folders, local images and media, bundle URLs, metadata, source JSON, and production details in one place.
Format-aware preservation
Open existing ANF files with care. News Publisher aims to preserve unsupported Apple News Format details instead of flattening articles to what is currently editable.

ANF workflow
News Publisher brings the work back to the article.
Open an Apple News Format article. See its structure. Edit the story, components, metadata, styles, layouts, and bundled media in context. Preview changes quickly. Reuse patterns that already work. Test templates before they become CMS logic. Let AI help with the first pass, then keep editorial judgment with the team.
News Publisher is not a generic web editor with an export bolted on. It is built around Apple News Format itself, from components and layouts to local assets, source JSON, preservation of unsupported details, and the practical work of improving programmatic Apple News article output.

Who it is for
For people who care how the story lands.
News Publisher is for publishers who want a stronger Apple News presence, editors who want more control over pacing and hierarchy, writers who want their work presented with care, designers who want room beyond rigid templates, and production teams who need a workflow they can trust before article templates become CMS rules.
