With only one account for the channel, I&rsquo;m not sure how you&rsquo;re supposed to get admin access back if you lose it. There&rsquo;s little you can do in News Publisher, so I almost never log in, but they should know that my account is active as I use the API to submit new posts daily. I do wonder whether that&rsquo;s worth it, as it does not seem to be a significant driver of traffic, nor even have many readers compared with the Web site.<\/p>\n\n<p>Previously:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2020\/03\/11\/reverting-from-apple-news-format-to-rss\/\">Reverting From Apple News Format to RSS<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2018\/07\/31\/please-follow-in-apple-news\/\">Please Follow in Apple News<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2018\/04\/18\/switching-from-rss-to-apple-news-format\/\">Switching From RSS to Apple News Format<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p id=\"apple-news-publisher-sign-in-required-update-2024-06-28\">Update (2024-06-28): <a href=\"https:\/\/c.im\/@nickheer\/112685034264294718\">Nick Heer<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/c.im\/@nickheer\/112685034264294718\">\n<p>When I got the email, I immediately tried signing in, and it errored out in two different browsers on four separate attempts.
