Could this be the New Yorker's problem and not Apple's? I'm not super familiar with how Apple News subscriptions work, but there's probably a way they could let you log in to the New Yorker with your Apple ID or link the accounts somehow.
Only insofar as the New Yorker chose to be available on Apple News.
If you subscribe to Apple News, you have to read this article in the Apple News app on your Mac, not in a browser.
It does seem like there ought to be a way to take a web URL and tell Apple News, hey, I want to read this article in your app. I don't know if that's a thing, though. It certainly should be.
