On Apple's 50th Anniversary, Petworth News sells to Apple's Regional News Service
/So this is a kind of cool thing that I’ve been working to happen for a few years now, and it helps you!
I'm lucky enough to know Tim Apple, and I have been trying to get him to pick up Petworth News for the Apple News app’s DC / Raleigh / Durham Local News.
Today is Apple’s 50th anniversary, and in a fitting tribute to my obsessive love for all things (and my time working at an Apple Store as a Genius), I made a deal with Tim to have Apple buy Petworth News. 💰💰💰
Drew, Tim Cook and my daughter Zoey
