Rupert Murdoch Debuts Daily iPad Newspaper | Peter Kafka | MediaMemo | AllThingsD

READ MORE: Rupert Murdoch Debuts Daily iPad Newspaper | Peter Kafka | MediaMemo | AllThingsD: "Still, the most striking thing about the Daily has nothing to do with any technical bells and whistles. It’s Murdoch’s insistence that he can sell a digital newspaper app to consumers trained to expect that digital news is what you get on the Web, for free.

The Daily is almost defiantly anti-Web: It will have a free site, with a grudging sample of perhaps 10 percent of the newspaper’s stories, but that’s it. While Web news sites increasingly focus on aggregation and filtering of other people’s content, the Daily will focus on making its own stuff, even though plenty of other people are already doing it."
