The Internet has changed the way we get our news, and the rapid rise of smartphones has put the 24-hour news cycle in our pockets. With The Daily, Newscorp has unveiled the first i-Pad only newspaper, and the buzz has been building around Rupert Murdoch’s new news venture. Murdoch’s usual tack is to buy a product, and then go in and restructure - the way he did with the Wall Street Journal. But this is different. Content for The Daily will be created specifically for Apple’s iPad tablet by its own staff of well respected journalists and available only by subscription. How will The Daily be different than other virtual news sources? Will it be a game changer in the world of digital media?
