We don't usually find our latest tech news in Women's Wear Daily yet
the publication seems to have scooped Rupert Murdoch's plans for a
tablet-only newspaper called The Daily -- news now seemingly confirmed
by the New York Times. Scheduled for release early next year, The
Daily is expected to cost 99 cents per week (about $4.25 per month)
for an electronic paper published seven days a week by a 100-member
strong newsroom staffed with "twentysomething" talent led by a former
managing editor from the New York Post. According to the sources
speaking to WWD, It'll be written with the "sensibilities" of a
tabloid and the intelligence of a broadsheet focusing on national
news. In other words, it's said to be like "The New York Post Goes to
College." A beta is expected by Christmas before hitting the iPad "and
other tablet devices" sometime in early 2011.
