Nach Project soll in Kürze das zweite iPad-only Magazin starten: The Daily hat bereits eine eigene „Coming Soon Website„, gibt aber noch keine offiziellen Informationen preis.
Neuesten Gerüchten zufolge soll die App am nächsten Mittwoch, 19. Jänner, vom Medien-Riesen Rupert Murdoch (CEO von News Corp.) präsentiert werden und wenn man der Yahoo Cutline glaubt, wird auch Steve Jobs persönlich bei der Vorstellung der iPad-App dabei sein.
Für sein nach eigener Aussage „Nr. 1 Most Exciting Project“ ist Rupert Murdoch angeblich bereit, bis zu 30 Millionen Dollar zu investieren.
Known as The Daily, Murdoch's iPad publication has been the talk of the media world over the past couple months, and the News Corp. chief has even dubbed it his “No. 1 most exciting project.” The hush-hush project has been taking shape at the company's Manhattan headquarters, but it will also have staffers in Los Angeles.Jesse Angelo left Murdoch's New York Post, where he was second in command, to run The Daily, and former Viacom digital distribution boss Greg Clayman came aboard to run the business side. Murdoch is reportedly willing to sink $30 million into the project.The cash infusion has spurred The Daily into a high-profile hiring spree over the past couple of months. So far, Angelo and his team have brought in a number of top-notch journalists from media outlets such as the New Yorker, the Daily Beast, Forbes, AOL and Politico.
