News Corp has hired over 100 journalists to write for it, this is what sets it apart. It will only be available in the US initially but is sure to be available throughout the rest of the world as soon as.
The Daily will feature news articles, interactive graphics, HD videos and 360 degree photos designed to maximize the iPad’s Touch Screen.
