News Corp’s Daily now available in the UK
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 19 September 2011
News Corp has launched its iPad-only newspaper The Daily in the UK, seven months after its arrival Stateside. The digital title has seemingly been available for UK users via Apple’s App Store for over a week, priced at 69p per day, or £27.99 for an annual subscription.
As previously reported, The Daily is an expensive experiment from the Murdoch news empire to see if people can be persuaded to pay for digitally-provided news when presented in a more multi-media magazine style than via a traditional website.
Currently The Daily that is available over here, which includes news, business, gossip, opinion, techy stuff and sport, is simply the US edition, seemingly comes with no extra UK content – according to The Guardian even the ads are American. Though whether the quiet launch of The Daily in the UK means plans are under way for a proper British version remains to be seen.
