The Daily, Rupert Murdoch's iPad newspaper

future of journalism

just kidding

I do think it will probably do ok (it's pretty cheap! 40 bucks a year)

but the balance between keeping it paywalled vs. participating in the link sharing that's the currency of web news is gonna be tough

on Day 1 you've got this guy cataloging all the links that allow subscribers to facebook share/email link the stories, so you can read it all for free

ha xpost

lol

this has a pretty good chance of surviving/making money btu so far a pretty bad chance of being a relevant journalistic operation from what i can tell

apple being such a big partner seems to point to it doing well. a free trial might be bundled with future iPads, like the app will already be on there when you buy it.

the world is crying out for a new news outlet, so im pretty glad about this

This seems pointless, why not throw the money for this behind improved iPad versions of The Sun/The Times/the Wall Street Journal?

cause murdoch wanted to say he was the first ipad newspaper

SFJ is their culture editor btw

I'm a mess without my little..

Taken out back, shot

I had some discount subscription to this for a year (like some magical $20/year deal), ended up getting a new iPad halfway through, and never looked back. It was like USA Today for iPads.
