Removing news headlines from Spotlight Search in iOS 9

How can I turn off news headlines from Spotlight Search in iOS 9?

As of iOS 10 you can now remove the News widget from the lock screen and notification center the same way you remove other widgets.

I think it's a matter of turning off "Spotlight Suggestions" in the General > Spotlight Search preference pane, but leaving "Siri Suggestions" on? It's buried in the list!

In the US locale, things are pretty easy to customize. There is a toggle switch named News that controls that information source for spotlight.

Open the settings app, tap general, tap spotlight search, toggle news off (the list is sorted alphabetically so it's off screen initially)

Once you have that off, you should see a search screen like below (I've cropped the icons at the top and there is blank blue space below the bottom crop)

I'm not able to test other locales, but perhaps others can help edit or post their solution.

Go to Settings > General > Spotlight Search.

Turn off "Maps" to get rid of the "Nearby" section. Turning off "Spotlight Suggestions" removes the news articles.
