Integrate with Apple News #58

Description

First, here’s an example of a CBS live blog in Apple News from the Kavanaugh hearings (https://apple.news/A_3sXKJlDRxOzRcrLs8Tq3g) which is definitely different than your eclipse piece, but can give you an idea of what might work.
As I mentioned on the call, it might make more sense to integrate directly with the content that’s being iframed into the piece: https://apps.npr.org/liveblogs/20170821-eclipse/child.html. Attached is an article.json with examples of how the live blog posts could be structured in ANF. You can preview it on the app here: https://apple.news/Az52nZi7ZQ7iMUBOF_JPlgA
Lastly, I’ve attached our most updated premium API reference, where you’ll find the isDevelopingStory metadata flag that you can add to the API requests of the live blog articles. This prevents the piece from caching on a user’s device, so once the live blog structure in ANF is figured out, readers can see all the updates in real time.

I can't include the API reference with this ticket, since it's marked confidential (Aly and Constance have this email too), but it'll probably have changed by the time the team would move forward with this integration.
