Apple News adds a 2018 Midterm Elections section

Apple has announced a new 2018 Midterm Elections section in Apple News, offering a resource for midterm election information in the United States.

The 2018 Midterm Elections section helps readers follow the latest on the elections with breaking news, exclusive highlights and analysis from reliable sources selected by Apple News’ team of experienced editors, according to Lauren Kern, editor-in-chief of Apple News. Readers can get up to speed on the most relevant topics and candidates by accessing the new section in the Apple News app from a banner across the top of the For You tab, as well as through Top Stories and the Spotlight tab.

• On the Ground, which highlights quality reporting about issues that matter to local constituents on the most important races.

In addition to presenting coverage from Fox News, Vox and other publishers, Apple News will offer exclusive features, including:
