According to Buzzfeed News, Apple is planning a launch event set for 25 March, where it is expected to debut its news subscription service.

The news service will provide subscribers with access to articles from multiple publications.

A report by The Wall Street Journal claims that Apple intends to take 50% of the service’s profits from partnered news sources.
