The Daily: Murdoch’s tablet-only newspaper is like ‘The New York Post Goes to College’

Filed under: News,Tech |

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. The Daily: Murdoch’s tablet-only newspaper is like ‘The New York Post Goes to College’ originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 22 Nov 2010 04:40:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds .
