News Corp launches daily newspaper for iPad (BBC)

[eppur_se_muova]

News Corporation's Rupert Murdoch is extending his media empire once again - this time with a digital newspaper for the iPad called the Daily.

Mr Murdoch told an audience at the Guggenheim Museum in New York that he hoped it would be an "indispensable source of news" in the tablet era.

The Daily will cost 99 cents (60p) a week and will be sold exclusively via Apple's iTunes store.

News Corp has hired about 100 journalists to work on it.

The paper will initially only be available in the US.

2. Oh my god. The freepers will now be even more indoctrinated. As if it were possible.

3. The Freepers aren't impressed. They don't want to pay $40 a year for news they can get for free. nt

4. As it's a Murdoch virtual rag, I'm not actually impressed. However . . .

are there other daily papers of the Australian/USA Today model available for the iPad? (I'm a non-iPad user and expecting to remain that way.)
