iPad Newspapers
This week News Corp launched The Daily which is an iPad only publication boasting a more interactive experience. According to CNNMoney.com, $30 Million was invested for launch and yearly costs are $26 million. The Daily has 100 staffers committed to the new publication costing $0.99/week or $40/yearly subscriptions.
New York Times is starting their own iPad publication called News.me. This app will be less traditional in that it will show stories based on your preferences and what’s being read by who you follow on Twitter. News.me seems to be more of a competitor of Flipboard by being a aggregating articles instead of the new content provided by The Daily.
