Last week it was revealed that Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp was working on a new subscription-based, iPad-centric, daily newspaper app called ‘The Daily’.
Murdoch told Fox Business:
News Corp. has spent the last three months assembling a newsroom that will soon be about 100 staffers strong. ‘The Daily’ will launch in beta mode sometime around Christmas, and will be introduced to the public on the iPad and other tablet devices in early 2011.
It is expected to cost 99 cents a week, or about $4.25 a month. It will come out — as the name suggests — seven days a week. The operation is currently working out of the 26th floor of the News Corp. Building on Sixth Avenue in a space that looks like a veritable construction zone. The staff’s permanent home will be on the ninth floor, and they’ll move down once it’s ready.
