...Location, location, location  

If you share your location with Apple News, this information will be used to display local news and weather, along with locally relevant search results and adverts. If you haven't allowed Apple News to see your location, or if you are unsure and want to check, it's a simple dive into your Settings menu. 

Open Settings, then the Privacy menu, then select Location Services. From here, simply scroll down to see Apple News and ensure you have selected "While Using the App."

Speed things up with "Suggested by Siri" selections

Tap on this tab, which you'll find at the bottom of your screen. Scroll down to see the "Suggested by Siri" section. Here you can tap on the plus sign icon next to each topic you're interested in, such as Politics, Science, and Technology, to see more content from those areas.

If you want to explore even more channels, back in the Following menu, scroll down to the bottom again and tap on "Discover Channels."

You can now scroll through all the news channels that are available to you and choose to add them to your notifications list.

Troubleshooting

To do this, open the Settings app and tap on Notifications. Scroll down to see "News" and tap on this to check that you're allowing the banners, sounds, and badges that you want.
