Change Location for Apple News app”Local News” Feed

How can I change the location of “Local News” in Apple News app on iPad? I keep getting the feed from a city that is nowhere near my true location. Appreciate any guidance.

iPad Air, iPadOS 26

Thanks for response but neither of those discussion links address my specific issue. The first link is in regards to Country/Region, which are correct.

The second link's discussion did not have any responses.

Specifically, my local news is in my state, but not near my city. (Example: If I lived in California but I want local news from San Fran and Im getting local news from San Diego).

Do you have an iPad with Cellular? Or a WiFi-only iPad? If the latter, it doesn't have a GPS chip. It gets its location information from the WiFi network it's connected to. And sometimes, WiFi networks think they are somewhere else where your ISP does business. Do you have a phone you can use as a hotspot? If so, try that and see if it makes a difference.
