Anne, Apple News is an App for iOS, but not on the Mac…that I can find anyway, how silly.
It’s free as well. It doesn’t take long, stop lights, waiting in line, visits to the necessary room…all times when scrolling through the news to find only those items of importance. I then forward them to my Mac, where I will use programs like Tinderbox, DevonThink and Sonar to parse and search only the true grit of information. As of yet the methodology is not set, I know the players, but integrating them I still need to learn, along with OmniGraffle for visualization of the many links my work takes me.. There are lots of RSS feeds that do a great job but for my needs Apple has come up with a winner.
