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.
